Metal Arts Guild
Working together with Querido Galdo, we transformed an average StudioPress theme into a powerful media powerhouse for the Metal Arts Guild.
Blue Sage
Are you sensing a trend? Old HTML site converted to what looks almost the same but is built in WordPress?
Susan Chastain Sews a Silky New Site
It had been a while since we did Susan Chastain’s original site in Movable Type in 2004. Lots has changed since then.
Revision Design Studio
Nancy Bramwell’s design studio needed a place to show off her portfolio of window treatments, staging and color consulting. She wanted to showcase her services–and do it in style. We found a beauty theme together at ThemeForest and we were off to the races.
Anastasia Blackwell
We found an awesome theme at Theme Forest, added her photos, text, docs, shots, video, audio, you name it, and she’s live and raring to go.
Ellen Manerud Design
Ellen Manerud wanted a design to show off her, well, design talent. She didn’t know WordPress, but knew a bloggy-looking site when she saw one–and didn’t want that.
House on Black Lake Upgrades the Foundation
Anastasia Blackwell’s House on Black Lake had a good strong foundation, but it was so 2006. Anastasia wanted more floors, stained-glass windows, she wanted a turret. She wanted a castle.
Divinely Furious
Lone Mørch has launched a site for her new venture: Divinely Furious. She needed a site that could grow with her, grow beyond her (partners), grow farther than her writing (guest authors), provide workshops, video, audio, the works.
Fashion Eye for Men
Joui Turandot needed a rebranding from her “Joui Style” brand and site to take it to the next level. Beyond just Joui and her style, but focusing on her clients and what she was going to do to help those clients: Fashion Eye for Men was born.
Signs America
Marty Wall needed a new site for his sign shop in San Francisco: Signs America. The thing about Marty is that he knows WordPress. He runs his world-famous cartoon site on WordPress. He just needed a bit of a helping hand to get started.
Film Quarterly
Film Quarterly had a good site with lots of content. But managing that content had become troublesome. They had years and years of archived content: images, copy, covers, photos, etc. They needed a site that could handle all of that content in a user-friendly–and visitor-friendly–way.
Good Looking Ideas
Lauren Deane of Good Looking Ideas (goodlookingideas.com) wanted a site that she could update herself but didn’t sacrifice design style. In fact, she wanted a site that didn’t sacrifice anything.
Loïc Photography
Loïc Nicolas (loicphoto.com) needed a site that he could add to on a regular basis easily–but with style.
Simon Vance
