Custom Blog Services

Whether professional or personal, your blog is your home on the web, so it should reflect you and what you are all about! I’ll chat with you to get to know you, what your blog is about, and who your audience is. From there I’ll create a unique look for your blog that puts your content in the spotlight and gives readers a clear picture of you or your business. No canned themes here—I create all my graphics and themes from scratch. When I’m done, you’ll have a blog that you just can’t wait to use and show off, and a look that is 100% unique!

I know WordPress inside and out, and can customize its function as well as its look to meet your specific needs. I can come up with a solution for anything you need your blog to do!

• Personal Blogs
• Business Blogs
• Photo Blogs
• Flickr & Twitter Feeds
• Extra-wide posting areas
• Private Client Areas
• Magazine-style Main Pages

For most personal and professional blogs, I recommend self-hosted WordPress. This requires a domain name and hosting (I can recommend reliable, inexpensive hosting--feel free to ask).

Website Solutions for Small Businesses

Looking to implement a website for your business? Have an existing website that needs help? I can help you determine your business’ target audience and organize your website’s content in a way that puts the most important information front and center. I focus on web standards and usability, and that means more traffic to your site, visitors being able to find key information easily, and a site that is built with future growth in mind. I also build my sites on content management systems that put you in control, no HTML knowledge necessary. On top of all that, I can create a look that will reflect the personality and purpose of your business and help your site stand out from the crowd!

Some of the most common solutions I offer are:

• Site Design/Site Skinning
• Content Management Systems (CMS)
• WordPress as a CMS
• ExpressionEngine
• eCommerce Solutions
• Forum and Gallery Installation & Customization

For most professional sites, I recommend ExpressionEngine, a robust content management system with features that are adaptable to a variety of site designs and functions. Full sites requires a domain name and hosting (I can recommend reliable, inexpensive hosting--feel free to ask).

Branding Design

A strong business identity communicates your business’ purpose to would-be customers, and creates brand recognition. Whether you need a new logo and matching business materials, or just an update to an existing logo, I can help you develop a cohesive and well-structured visual identity for your company.

• Text & Graphic Logo Design
• Illustrated Logo Design
• Business Card Design
• Letterhead & Envelope Design
