SIOS Cranes — custom WordPress project portfolio.

An international crane brand needed a website that presents their project portfolio professionally and is easy to manage — without the inflexibility of standard WordPress templates.

// The challenge

Managing a project portfolio without a developer.

SIOS delivers and maintains crane installations worldwide and wants to use its project portfolio as a showcase. The challenge: a management environment that lets the client independently add, update and categorise projects — with visual backgrounds per page, without needing a developer every time.

// The approach

Custom WordPress without unnecessary complexity.

Custom project post type

A custom WordPress post type 'Projects' makes it possible to manage each project as a standalone item, including category, location, description and images. The display is driven by a custom theme.

Portfolio overview with filtering

The portfolio page shows all projects in an overview grid with filtering by category and location. Filtering happens via JavaScript without page reload.

Custom background slider

Key pages have a full-screen background slider with project photos. The slider is manageable from the WordPress admin: add or remove images without code changes.

Custom WordPress theme

The full theme is built from scratch — not a copied template, but a clean codebase that matches the SIOS brand. No Elementor bloat, maintainable code.
