Once my eyes were opened to the wonderful platform that is Word Press, I couldn’t resist recommending it to clients, old and new. It provides such a simple way to have both the ease of maintenance of content for people with little or no comfort when it comes to coding a website, and the power for an administrator/designer behind the scenes to tailor the site to look just like a normal, flat site.

This was one of those cases, and I was happy to help. Sheri had already been debating the option of using WordPress but wasn’t getting very sustainable offers for implementation of such a plan. She had a sharply designed site, so that part was done. All I needed to do was install Word Press, templatize the pages to look like her current site and bring in the page content. For a small site, it was fairly simple. Now she can maintain page content easily enough, run a blog and not be chained to some web design agency trying to nickle and dime her to death for updates.

We finished and launched earlier this week, and there is still plenty of room to grow too. I look forward to working with her company and helping out where I can in empowering people to manage their own web content.

It should not have taken me this long to realize the benefits of Word Press, but now that I have it is one of my first recommendations to my clients who want some control of their own over their website. Template design and customization allows for a completely unique presence for my clients, with an easy to use interface on the other side for them to manage their simple updates and changes.

Yes I am a firm believer now, and the next one I work on will be creating a new design for this one, and implementing it as this current design was only meant to be temporary anyway.

So I am delighted to add one more thing to my repertoire … Word Press template customization and design.

I just got confirmation on a small project to handle the reskin of a website, which is wonderful. The contact already has the design done and ready to go, I just have to implement it and tie in the back end database stuff. For that I just need the PHP for those pages in particular so I can work around the calls to the database and format it per the design.

I also have a CMS to implement for another client and a database to set up for products on another client’s site. This is all in addition to my full time work … clearly I like to keep busy, but it all helps to keep m skills sharp and I enjoy it.
