It had been a while since we did Susan Chastain's original site in Movable Type in 2004. Lots has changed since then.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 Nicolas (loicphoto.com) needed a site that he could add to on a regular basis easily--but with style.
Why switch to a content management sysytem? Because even if you do know HTML and CSS, it's still going to be easier to add content using a content management system like WordPress.
Together with Dio Luria and John Muldoon, we transformed Carolyn Tillie's jewelry site into a lean, mean, e-commerce machine. We found the WPA theme on ThemeForest and it's a beaut.
The Collage Gallery (collage-gallery.com) needed a site they could update easily but also show off the beauty of the work. Working together with John Muldoon (thewatermarkgroup.org), we gathered up Delisa's best shots from her gallery, stapled on an easy-to-navigate framework, glued it all together with a bit of WordPress and we were open for business.
