Mike Jones Auctioneer

Overview

Personal brand site for veteran auctioneer Mike Jones — covering live auction services, the auction school, podcast, press features, and a deep archive of past auctions and event galleries.

What I did

• Built the Next.js + Sanity site with home, About Us, Auction Highlights, Past Auctions, School, Podcast, and Contact sections — each with typed Sanity schemas and live previews
• Shipped the Auction Services Embla carousel with dynamic SliderArrow fills, auto-height, autoplay, and consistent card layouts across breakpoints
• Built the EventImageGallery and ImageViewer with responsive object-positioning and viewport-aware max heights for image-heavy past-auction archives
• Integrated react-pdf + pdfjs-dist for in-browser bid catalogues and event documents, with custom scaling and loading states
• Refactored event schemas (past_auction_list, event_image_gallery) and date-range utilities to handle UTC consistently across timezones

Outcome

Consolidated decades of Mike Jones' auctioneering, teaching, and media output into a single content-managed brand hub — editors update events, press, and podcast episodes without engineering involvement.
