kickstarter campaign

Wonderful new project – helping this film – The Mysterious Question Film – on its kickstarter campaign. Imaginative and inspiring project- great to help with the graphics, the website, the facebook campaign, and more.

new site in developoment

And this time it’s mine! at long last…. get ready for a new look! Check out http://www.4wdesign.com – here’s a sneak preview:

what’s with the red toes?

I’ve been tweaking and revising www.tonybriggsyoga.com – a fun site with great content – much more entertaining than your average Yoga Teacher’s website. I especially recommend Tony’s blog, aka Riffs and Rants.

lite new site!

This brand new site is now up and running on WordPress – www.itrim.us. Putting it on WordPress has allowed for faster changes, and easier integration with just about everything. It’s a work in progress with more features on their way.

Itrim is a company that helps people lose weight. They’ve come to the San Francisco Bay Area from Sweden where they’ve had huge success – they help people lose weight by providing fabulous fitness centers with highly trained staff – encouragement, eating, exercise is what it’s about.

website banners for wordpress and more

I’ve been doing more and more WordPress customizations. WordPress is highly popular CMS (Content Management System) which allows companies to keep their sites updated without having to go into code. Designing for WordPress can start with designing a customized look using a company’s unique branding – and of course it can start even earlier, with the branding itself. The work can be to customize existing WordPress themes, or create brand new looks, unique for a given site. The examples above are all WordPress sites which I’ve designed –  kolshofar.org • eaconsult.com • lizkughn.com. Questions? Feel free to ask – info at 4wdesign.com.

new site on wordpress

This is a work in progress with much to do including adding material from former website plus new photo galleries, etc, but this move of kolshofar.org to WordPress has allowed for flexibility, easier updates, plus a user-friendly teen-blog, room for expansion, all the usual WordPress goodies – basically, there are endless possibilities. As we add membership capabilities, online registration for classes, and more, this will continue to grow.

new site’s up!

This is exciting! I’ve designed, developed and implemented this brand new customized wordpress  site – and we’ve just gone live! woo hoo! It’s a full-on website, plus a blog, plus a micro-blog, plus all kinds of snazzy follow-me-here, follow-me-there, push to twitter widgets, etc, etc, it practically makes espresso too! Check it out! eaconsult.com.

wordpress for warblerwatch

I’ve been building this website, inspired by the recent WordPress WordCamp, with the goal of providing Warbler Watch with the ability to edit their own content.

Just checked in a few weeks later, and lo and behold, they’ve been making changes to the original design! That’s the idea behind using WordPress as the somewhat-easy-to-use CMS, tho’ we designers often like to control our designs more…. ahhhhh, the pros and cons of CMS and letting go of control.

wordpress makes it easy to build websites

Here’s an example of a simple, informative website which I created using WordPress, by customizing a fairly minimalist template. Other benefits of developing with WordPress are the CMS – content management system – so that clients can edit their content without knowing programming. And, WordPress is inherently built for optimal searches. More info at oncomet.com and by clicking on “blog banners & wordpress customizations” at left.

going live!

Been working on this website for Marin Psychotherapist Liz Kughn. It’s been a fantastic collaboration with Liz – she does lots of the text editing using wordpress, and will be able to make changes and additions very easily, and I’ve created the design, graphics, and customized the css from the original template. It’s great to go live!
