New Updates to Web Design Portfolio – 3 WordPress Use Cases.

So here are some long overdue updates to the web design portfolio. Over the past six months I’ve had a lot to work on and no time to tell you good folks about any of it. Well, I’ve finally had some time to update the portfolio here. So here are 3 very different Wordpress use cases. This isn’t everything I’ve been up to, but hey it’s a start keep a look out for more…

Central Ohio Rain Garden Initiative

Check out the work i did for a brand new website and initiative of the Franklin Soil & Water Conservation District(FSWCD) called the Central Ohio Rain Garden Initiative(CORGI). The purpose of the site was to promote rain gardens, events surrounding the initiative, and to allow the good folks over a FSWCD to keep track of any new installations. There was some really cool and fun work done with google maps here. Check the post out here.

Sierra Club Ohio Chapter

Shortly after finishing up the CORGI Project I started A new site design for the state chapter of the Sierra Club. They needed an easy to update site that could cover multiple topics and groups and really required a lot of good content strategy work  to create a site that communicated everything that needed to be on the page in a coherent and organized way. In addition to the State Chapter, each local group has a need for a site and events management system. These sites are being built out now as subdomains from the state chapter. By leveraging the power of RSS, WordPress, and widgets we are able to achieve a level of consistency across multiple sites and provide easy maintenance by sharing widgets. Check out the Post Here

A.B. Miller Photography

ABMillerPhotography.com is the all new home of freelance photographer Amanda B. Miller. This site required a very clean design to showcase the stunning visual work of the photographer on this professional blog. Sure, I could’ve went with all white and a slow and fancy flash gallery, but that would be something you’ve seen before wouldn’t it? So, Instead I decided to use WordPress and standard html so the author could actually update the site galleries and all. With the help of some beautiful images provided by Amanda, some easy jQuery, and snappy little light box gallery; I think we achieved a gorgeous colorful showcase for her blog and her work without looking like a boring all white Apple store.Check the Post here for more
