IEU

Website for the Independent Education Union, an Australian teachers' union. Built and maintained at Osky Interactive with a custom WordPress theme, a Laravel Mix build pipeline for front-end assets, and Gravity Forms integration for member inquiries. The site serves as the union's primary communication channel with members and the public.

The custom WordPress theme was built from scratch to match the union's brand identity and communication needs. Bootstrap 5 provides the responsive grid and component foundation, with Sass for structured stylesheets and custom design tokens. jQuery handles interactive elements and DOM manipulation where needed.

Laravel Mix manages the front-end build pipeline, compiling Sass to CSS, bundling and minifying JavaScript, and handling asset versioning for cache busting. This gives the development workflow modern tooling conveniences — hot module replacement during development, source maps for debugging, and optimized production builds — within the WordPress ecosystem.

Gravity Forms powers the site's contact and inquiry forms, providing member-facing forms for questions, feedback, and event registrations. Form submissions are configured with email notifications and confirmation messages appropriate for a union membership context.

The responsive layout ensures the site works well across devices, which is relevant for a union audience that may access information from classrooms, offices, or mobile devices during their workday.
