Context

Grace Hill Media ran a long-lived ColdFusion screening registration system that worked, but looked dated and was difficult to use on mobile. The goal was a full visual refresh without touching the legacy backend.

What I did

I redesigned the public and admin pages using Tailwind CSS, modernized the layout system, and improved the form experience to feel current and accessible. The work stayed within the existing ColdFusion templates so the backend could remain unchanged.

Outcome

The system kept its reliability while gaining a brighter, more professional interface across desktop and mobile. The team could keep their existing workflows without a risky rebuild.

Tech Notes

  • Tailwind CSS layered onto ColdFusion templates
  • Layout and form improvements across public and admin pages
  • Legacy backend preserved
