Dream Windows and Interiors
On a budget? Still want a great website for your business? No problem.
Dream Windows uses the Mandrake theme from Mojo Themes. It features a nice slider on the home page and lots of images in the portfolio area. Dream Windows used me to tweak the design, add social links and for tutorials.
Commercial Bus Expert Witness Website
What if you need a website fast? What if you’re more concerned about a web presence then a great design? But what if you don’t want “Quick and Dirty”? What if you want “Quick and Quality”? Well, WordPress is perfect for that. You may be a start up or just don’t have the money to pay a designer and programmer thousands of dollars for an upscale website….but you also don’t want to hurt your business either.
A simple, clean design is what WordPress’s twentyten theme gives you. With a few tweaks by me it can still represent your brand AND be a great, top-notch, quality website: Search Engine Friendly, blog ready and able to handle as many pages as you need. Even if you don’t have a lot of money to spend, don’t sacrifice quality. Robert Berkstresser has been doing expert witness work for a few years, but needed a website: he needed it fast, he needed it to be inexpensive and he needed search engine friendly. That’s what he got.
I Want a Great USA Web Development Magazine Website
There’s no reason you can’t have more than one website on your domain. Maybe you have three related sites, maybe you just want to run some different sites for your family: reunions, new babies, family gossip….whatever. WordPress is can handle that fine and you can install multiple WordPress programs on one hosting account with many hosting companies.
In my own case, as a web developer, I am currently running three distinct websites on sweetthursdayweb.com that all relate to my business. The last my quest to motivate someone to create a great USA Web Development Magazine. My site: “I Want a Great USA Web Magazine” is hosted at http://usawebmagazine.sweetthursdayweb.com/. It’s also a WordPress website and I put it up in a couple of hours. It uses the WP twentyten theme. Search engines are already giving it some decent rankings…..though a new magazine would even be better……..
The Old Morris & Giacinti Website
Morris & Giacinti LLP had a one page website that needed to be updated. Attorneys Suzanne and Nicole wanted something that they could update themselves, something they could blog with and something good for SEO (Search Engine Optimization). They didn’t have a lot of money to spend. WordPress was a perfect fit.
The Artisteer templates didn’t fit what they wanted, but they could not afford custom design and customized implementation of that design into WordPress.
The New Morris & Giacinti WordPress Website
One of the things that I love about WordPress is its versatility. While reading one of my trade magazines I came across a WordPress theme that I thought would work for Morris & Giacinti. There are literally thousands and thousands of WordPress themes out there. Some are free, some you have to pay for. This theme cost about a hundred dollars.
Once the theme was installed I tweaked it to Suzanne’s and Nicole’s specifications: added a new header with image logo searchable by search engines, new image heading on home page, dual sidebars (one for regular pages one for their blog) along with CSS changes throughout (this affects letter-spacing, font-colors, etc).
The result is a clean, professional looking website. WordPress comes through again.
Great Hands 4 U Old Website
David Neff is a massage therapist. He’s had his site, GreatHands4U.com for quite awhile. It was built with tables and the design of the site was outdated. However, like a lot of people in this economy David didn’t have a lot to spend. Once again Artisteer, WordPress and Sweet Thursday Web Development make the perfect solution. read more »
In addition to her educational sites, Kristin Draeger had the domain name: kristindraeger.com. She wanted to use this as a kind of portfolio site for her websites, books and anything else she may get her hands into in the future.
Kristin’s website, like all the sites here, including the one you are now on, was created with Artisteer, WordPress and my expertise when needed. Kristin wanted a basic site. This site is good for SEO with links to both her websites and books and pages about each. She has two more books that she plans to publish soon and these can easily be added to her books page. read more »
The Master’s Plan Church needed a nice looking website with the ability to expand and a CMS system included. WordPress and Artisteer were the perfect solution.
Working with Canopy Marketing Principal Kim Jones we modeled the site after a PDF marketing file. Within hours we had a working web site. While Kim added content, I made tweaks to the site: CSS changes to the overall layout and some very specific CSS for a home page image. read more »
As noted in a previous blog, ARTK12 needed 4 new websites, needed them quickly and needed them to have a similar look and feel and needed them to be WordPress sites. By using Artisteer this process was streamlined and all four sites were completed in about a day (not including the task of entering books into Amazon’s astores).
The four sites: SCIENCEK12, LITERATUREK12, MATHEMATICSK12 and HISTORYK12 all incorporate WordPress as a CMS (Content Management System). Each site has blogging capabilities and the ability to add as many pages as necessary. The home page was specially programmed to handle Amazon’s astore and each site is loaded with a SEO plugin. read more »
Original Yahoo Site
ASAP Concrete Delivery is an independently owned and operated concrete delivery service. The task was to take their old site, redesign it and make it a WordPress site with a full CMS and blog.
The first thing we did was dump ASAP’s self-built Yahoo site. I moved the site to a new server and put up a very quick temporary site before proceeding. read more »
