I just finished doing a reboot of “Outside Voice” – a popular blog by a respected writer in the US. The requirement focussed on clean lines, readability, and elegance. I think we more or less achieved it. As part of the exercise we also migrated all of their historic posts and comments from Moveable Type to Wordpress, and tidied up a little along the way.

I recently worked with the marketing and sales guys at Deltascheme to develop a new front page for their site. It’s a great example of custom theme design in Wordpress, surfacing multiple post streams through the front page, and carrying a targeted message.

Over the last few weeks I have been quietly helping a community news/magazine site get up and running in Chambana, Illunois. The time difference and geographic disparity has made very little difference to the progression of the project, and is perhaps proof once again that remote working works.

Head over to Chambana Moms and take a look; it’s an interesting project started by two professional journalists to provide a local news portal specifically for families.

The Jane Douglass Fitness and Dance website went live this afternoon – built to the client specification on Wordpress, hosted on Linux, and powered by Apache, PHP and MySQL. It’s a great example of a minimal business website – with straightforward navigation, and (thanks to Wordpress) easy content management.

I’ve recently completed the replacement of the wordpress theme for the personal blog site of a successful journalist at Chicken and Cheese. It’s based on Wordpress, with a little graphic work, search engine optimisation, and a some carefully chosen plugins.

A new incarnation of the Deltascheme website was launched on the web recently after a re-think of their online presence. I helped design, develop and launch the site as a freelance project, and will be continuing on as a consultant to the future development of the site.

Where the company previously had a static magazine style website, the new one is very much more dynamic, covering industry news, developments, and professional opinion – hopefully forming the basis of a marketing platform for the future.

The client was looking for a portal style solution through which they could feed information, news, blogs, and gather registrations for events. It’s been a wonderful project to work on so far because it involves so many elements of the web designer skillset – from server configuration, to database administration, graphic design talent, ergonomics, usability, and of course basic XHTML and CSS authoring skill.

The company delivers fresh organic produce throughout the San Francisco bay area, and were looking for a fresh, clean website through which their customers could easily get in touch. Time was a major requirement in the design and development process – moving from first ideas to a live site on the web in 2 days (2 manic days, I might add).

It’s been an interesting project so far, and a great example of what can be achieved in a short space of time. If you are looking to replace your current site, need it done quickly, and want it to look great, then get in touch!
