The Cleary Scene
The Cleary Scene
Appspring modernized an author portfolio affected by default theme constraints: inconsistent spacing, mobile image scaling defects, missing navigation and branding elements, and backend technical debt with security exposure.
The business problem
This section describes the situation before the engagement, so prospective clients can determine whether it corresponds to their current position.
Theme limitations produce inconsistent spacing and weak visual hierarchy.
Images scale incorrectly on mobile, affecting presentation of the author's work.
Footer, tab titles, and favicon lack unified branding.
The backend requires hardening and performance review.
