front end:

The client gave came to me with a PDF of the design and I turned that into a WordPress them. The client wanted to make sure the blog part of the site fit in with the other site without the visitors knowing there was a difference. This meant using some non-traditional web fonts so I used TTF Titles (WordPress plugin) that allowed me to turn certain text into images on the fly so that it would look like it was using a custom font.

back end:

This site contained some of my standard customizations: featured admin panel and my custom thumbnails/ custom fields plugins.

lessons learned/random thoughts:

It is always fun for me to see the clients see how WordPress can be seamlessly be integrated into existing sites.

front end:

The client gave came to me with a PSD of the design and I turned the PSD into a WordPress theme using jQuery cycle on the home page to cycle through featured posts. The client also had very specific font needs and so I used TTF Titles (WordPress plugin) that allowed me to turn certain text into images on the fly so that it would look like it was using a custom font.

back end:

This site contained some of my standard customizations: jQuery cycle, featured admin panel, and my custom thumbnails/ custom fields plugins. This was a very straightforward site which did not need a lot of customization on the backend – so the beauty in this site is the simplicity of it.

lessons learned/random thoughts:

This artists does great work and I look forward to seeing more of it on his web site.

The client came to me with a number of ideas about the layout/design, and their existing logo and I then put together what you see. They wanted something clean, minimal, and something with a lot of white space.

back end:

This site contained some of my standard customizations: featured admin panel and my custom thumbnails/ custom fields plugins as well as a few custom widgets, custom functions to handle the ad placements, and some other bits of content.

lessons learned/random thoughts:

I actually enjoy the content of this site and look forward to reading more of what they have to say in the future.
