Noble Strings
My violin shop in Rocheport, Missouri, since 2020: making, selling, renting and repairing instruments, and the site I built for it.

Instruments for Sale becomes a photo-first plate gallery
- Replaced the specs-table, per-instrument detail page with one photo-first gallery: a single plate per instrument showing all four sides, so no click-through is needed.
- Gave each plate its own bordered, shadowed card with real spacing between instruments, instead of a stacked list separated only by hairlines, and dropped a dead reviews filter left over from the old layout.
- Moved the single instrument photo shown on Home into the sidebar under the search widget, hid a duplicate search icon in the main navigation, and dropped the No. label from each plate's identifier while keeping the identifier itself.

Evidence markers for the maker research, and code finally in git
- Added claim and dispute shortcodes: an inline pill for a single-sourced or secondary claim, a callout box for the rare case where the primary record contradicts the popular account, in four tiers from reported to unverified.
- Moved the site's custom styling out of Appearance > Additional CSS, which stored it only in the database, into a tracked custom.css file in the child theme, loaded after every other stylesheet so it wins.
- Started tracking the site's own code in git for the first time: the instrument showcase, the news digest, the Google reviews display and the child theme, leaving WordPress core, the database and uploads to Studio.
