One of the biggest challenges was not being able to use JetEngine, the preferred plugin for dynamic content, due to budget constraints. I overcame this by leveraging ACF (free version) and manual template control to achieve similar functionality.
Another challenge was the tight deadline, as I had to complete the entire project outside of my full-time job. Careful planning and daily micro-targets helped me stay on track.
