Keystone Communications website has just been launched this week, featuring some funky graphics and character designs – each page had the characters adopt different colours and props to add extra interest. The site was designed in collaboration with Jason Harris from Studio 24-7, with whom I worked to create a unique site that has tonnes of personality.
The entire site has been designed using the popular CMS bloggings system, WordPress. I love this platform as I can now offer my clients a superb design that they can easily edit themselves. WordPress makes publishing new pages and editing content a breeze, and I like it because it is pretty flexible in terms of adopting new design templates… everyone’s a winner!

Just completed a new WordPress website for a bar in Chelmsford, call the Smithsbar. A colourful venue catering for an alternative crowd, the design featured a rich mix of black and a vibrant red with a flock wallpaper background, designed in collaboration with Jason Harris from Studio 24-7. I have now handed the site over to him, with a easy to follow tutorial, for him to add the content himself.

Websites, Wordpress
New website for a local nursing home. A simple, easy to read design with an in-built blog. The latest new section is run by WordPress, which is fed via an RSS feed into the side bar on the main static pages – so they are constantly updated. Within the blog section we have activities lists, for both homes, which the staff can easily update each week.

I have been working a lot recently on designing, and tayloring, themes for Word Press. Recently published is a theme for a felloe editorial designer who works in Essex. For him I designed his entire site using Word Press, mixing dynamic pages (his posts) with static pages (his home page, portfolio plus others…) into which I was able to integrate some animnated Flash elements to give his site some ‘zip’. Word Press is very intuitive to use, adding new posts, uploading pictures and information is just so easy – and combined with my skillful theme design, you can have a bespoke blog in a matter or weeks.
If you are interested in creating a blog and would like me to design you a ‘bespoke’ theme or you maybe you want a cost effective CMS system to drive your website then give me a buzz, Word Press may just be the answer.
