When creating a web site for my own company - I wanted to make sure the color palette was consistent with the previous designs for brand recognition. I also wanted to make the design as clean as possible and easy to navigate so prospective clients could easily find information and see what we value for layout and web design since those are services we offer as a company.
back end:
Just about every content area within the site is editable by the WordPress admin. I wanted to make something easy to keep up to date and not have to edit any template files when updating text or other content.
lessons learned/random thoughts:
Designing your company web site - which specializes in web development is tricky. It took me a long time to figure out how I wanted to present content, what worked, what would be a lasting design, and what would be something I could live with for some time since I am extremely picky. I also used the grid pattern for a background which was based on the unreleased theme for Mac OS 8.5 which I always admired.

SDAC 2008 Site
After a busy summer - I decided to take a few days to clean up and redesign the SDAC Inc. web site. For the design, I wanted something clean and modern and something that would take full advantage of WordPress’s underpinnings (menus, content area, etc). For the templates, I ended up redoing most of them from scratch in order to simplify everything and make use of more WordPress functions and less third party plugins, created new images, cleaned out the CSS in order to only use what I needed, and made everything as dynamic as possible. On the backend of things, I spent some time cleaning out old database tables and other plugin left overs in order to rid the site of any unused data. I have big plans for the rest of 2008 and 2009 so stay tuned…this is just the beginning.

The client approached me wanting a theme for their new Jewish gossip site and did not have anything specific in mind. There are spots now (as of September 2008) for ads which will be filled in the next few months in the header and sidebar. The logo was designed by a talented graphic designer that has worked with us in the past.
back end:
There is nothing really fancy about the backend as the client likes to keep it simple.

We recently finished a project where we had to create a PDF on the fly of the user’s filled out application (~12 pages of data) so they could keep a copy. To do this - I looked at a few libraries out there and then ended up using HTML_toPDF. I had used another script from the same guy who put together HTML_toPDF and thus prompted me to use this one as well. The script works great and our client is very happy. If you ever need this capability - check out HTML_toPDF!
