Case Studies

Problem: The sidebar had been hardcoded by a previous designer so it was impossible for the site owner to edit on their own. They also wanted to update the theme however when they tried a TON of shortcode was left behind. The site owner also wanted to add some personality to the “Start Here” page and customize the headers to tie in with what the sections were related to. They also wanted to update the “About Me” header to reflect who they were.

Solution: Updated the theme to a Genesis Child Theme and set it up so that the sidebar and content were easily editable without having to go back and change code on the backend. On the “Start Here” page, graphics were created for the headers of each section. The “About Me” page was updated to add a picture header as well.

Problem: A site was needed to reflect the blog personality as well as eventually adding on a shop in the future.

Solution: Using the theme of being ‘born-again’ and ‘a new creature in Christ’ the decision was made to use the theme “ReClaimed.” This would also be in line with the future shop to be offered with products made from reclaimed wood.

Problem: A travel site specializing in Disney Travel needed a site to display service offerings.

Solution: A site was created with laying out the services offered and resources for planning trips. The header fonts used are a cursive/handwriting font to reflect the whimsical feeling of traveling to Disney Destinations.

Problem: A test site created for hypothetical company “Accelerated Marketing.”

Solution: A “Blog” page, “Contact Us,” and “Home” page was created to display the companies features.  The site was hand-coded with a custom theme from start to finish.

Problem: New blogger needed a site set up. They wanted to include a site header, updated logo, and navigation, as well as a newsletter ‘opt-in’ option.

Solution: A blog was created along with product, book and travel review pages. The site colors used were those that reflected the calm and inviting feeling of the overall site content.
