What plugins, add-ons, or other software is the site running? Examples include Gallery2 (photo gallery), PHP List (mailing list), or WordPress plugins such as Random Quotes, FlashFader, or LightBox.
Ellen Young (youngstravelservices.com) needed a site for her travel services. Gil Zeimer, copywriter extraordinaire (zeimer.com) worked the copy and provided the far-away photos and Likoma put it all together with a one-way-ticket to WordPress.
Working together with The M-Line and Tim Johnson, we put together a beauty of a site for Todd Coaching (toddcoachingexcellence.com). From custom fields for thumbnails to pulling in certain categories pulled into a home page widget, this site has bells and whistles written all over it. But at first glance, you're not overwhelmed with the bells or the whistles, you just get: professional and elegant.
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.
Julie Gorton (juliegortonsart.com) needed a simple site to show a gallery of her work. WordPress + SimpleViewer and done. SimpleViewer creates a beautiful slide show of images that are easy to update. It does a nice job of using a simple backend to still create a Flash slide show.
Lee Foster was looking to overhaul his travel writing and travel photography site. He had quite a complex set up with CNAME entries leading to custom URLs at PhotoShelter, a custom shopping cart that worked with PayPal, 250+ articles with loads of text, images, slideshows, and a blog at TypePad? Whew. Ready?
Ugo Baldassari needed a professional site for his real estate practice. With Paschal Sabatella at the creative design helm and WordPress in the engine room, we together came up with ugo4homes.com.
Bay Area Travel Writers had been using a custom-coded website for many years and worked very well ... until the custom coder was too busy to help. Combining Memberclicks and WordPress, they're back in action and just about anyone with a browser and a knowledge of cut and paste can add content.
Laurie King is at it again. What's Up Down Under is her latest site revival. Was an ancient HTML site, but we brought it back to life with WordPress -- and WAY back to life.
For the longer-term strategy of future edits, additions, and general content control, we switched their site from a straight HTML site to a content management system using WordPress.
Two years ago we did a site for Jim Benning and he wanted a new look for 2009: jimbenning.net. He had a site that he liked the look of in mind, sent me the URL and a few images, and we were off to the drawing board.
Laurie King needed yet another site (travelwritersnews.com, laurieking.com, hotflashessexystories.com, batw.org) so we whipped one into shape this afternoon: eroticalphabet.com.
They had a site and had some information on it The Young People's Teen Musical Theatre Company, but the people who were updating it didn't have much time and only those people knew how to make updates. Sound familiar?
Michael Hack's Financial District Dental Care first had a site, then a WordPress site, then a custom PHP site, and is now back to WordPress with Likoma.
Naomi Rifkin's Brush Fire Painting Workshops (paintbrushfire.org) needed a fresh coat of paint since its life from Dreamweaver to MovableType to WordPress and now to a fresh new look (still in WordPress).
Marty Wall's Fritz Cartoons needed a showcase for his fantastic cartoon work. He needed to be able to upload daily cartoons quickly, easily, and professionally. Meet WordPress.
