For a client’s sophisticated website requirements, I was presented with the task of enhancing the user interaction with a specific SVG graphic – a finch. The objective was to empower website administrators with the flexibility of placing this graphical element across any page or post, while retaining the ability to dynamically alter its color properties via swatch selectors. The refined functionalities I architected included:

1. Limitless Graphic Instances: The solution allowed for the creation and positioning of an unrestricted number of finch graphics across different content areas, facilitating seamless integration with the WP Bakery Page Builder.
2. Transparent Background: Optimized to ensure the finch SVG seamlessly blends with varied backgrounds, enhancing visual aesthetics and user experience.
3. Size Customization: Empowering users with an option to adjust the finch graphic’s size relative to its container width, thus catering to diverse layout requirements.

My proposed solution was twofold:

Shortcode and Widget Dual Approach: I suggested the development of both a shortcode for text integrations outside WP Bakery and a widget tailored for WP Bakery. While the widget would offer users the interactive color swatches and size dropdown options within WP Bakery, the shortcode would facilitate hexadecimal color input within text contexts.

Subsequently, the solution materialized as the “Finch SVG Widget Addon”. This mini-plugin encapsulated the necessary functionalities for both widget and shortcode applications. By marrying the robust capabilities of WordPress and WooCommerce, I delivered an interactive, user-friendly solution that accentuated website design and utility
