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.

Van Asten Tree Nursery

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.
