Below you will find samples of my work: WordPress, design, coding, and even a few photos I’m quite proud of. If you’re looking to narrow down the selections click on one of the portfolio categories to your right.
This area of the site is always a work in progress as more work is completed. Enjoy!
Allison’s Birthday Invitations
With my little girl’s 2nd birthday party coming up I needed to put together a birthday invitation, little note to insert and of course a few thank you cards. This year, unlike last, I went with a minimalist design.
Gettin’ Grown – Portal Page
While working on the Gettin’ Grown TV website my clients asked that I help them toss together a portal page for the movie, TV and production company websites. Seeing as the design was being passed to me how could I pass on such a quick job?
Camping – Instagrams
I had the chance to really put the Instagram (iPod Touch/iPhone) app to the test this weekend on a camping trip. I have to save that if I didn’t love this app before, I do now. The filters are great and being able to import photos from other applications is a huge win in my book.
A Happy Accident
Even breaking a lens can have a positive side to it. For me it was the re-introduction of playing around with my Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens. I’ve overlooked it for too long.
The New Lowcows.com
Along with a major overhaul of how Lowcows.com runs as a business a new website was needed. While it’s a project for my own benefit I knew the only way to get just what I was after was to treat myself as my own client. From start to finish, every aspect of the new site was done by hand – and I think that really made the difference.
DMG Projects – Free Widget Download
DMG Projects is a WordPress widget that will allow you to showcase a page or post on your website. The original idea was for this widget to display a ‘Featured Project’ but because of its flexibility it can be used to showcase nearly anything. Free widget download!
DMG WordPress Theme Options
Looking to add easily add options to your WordPress themes? Look no further – the DMG WP Theme Options (version 2.0) is now available for download. Powerful and feature packed, yet a snap to use. Have a look, try it out and peek at the manual on the page as well. Let me know what you think.
WordPress XML Client Update
An XML Client Update plugin for WordPress. This plugin allows me to keep in touch with my clients or anyone using my custom themes, plugins and/or widgets via their WordPress dashboard. The only solution I could think of to notify people of updates without submitting the theme, plugin or widget to the appropriate Official WordPress directory.
Van Asten Tree Nursery
The Van Asten Tree Nursery was looking for a website that would allow them to take control their site’s content. They wanted something easy to use so that changes to the text could be done quickly without needing to learn how to manage the code behind the scene. A small list of requirements meant a lot of freedom with a very quick turn around time.
Aldo’s Pizza and Pub
Aldo’s Pizza and Pub needed a complete overhaul to their website and requested that it be set up so they could handle the content. The custom WordPress theme was based off their logo and background from their old site but now way more flexible. Both widget ready and containing options making updating the site a lot easier, I think the client was rather please to take back control of their website.
