Simple Solution for Artists

2011-11-06T19:01:03Z

The extremely talented artist Ian Langdon came to me looking for a solution to quickly build an online presence for his art. He isn’t a web coder and was starting from scratch. He also didn’t want to use any text on the site. Every thing you see there is an image.

In one short session he was makeing his own pages and post, uploading his own images and managing his thumbnail galleries. This is a great example of the $200 small business web solution offer.

Freelance Writers Can Publish Like a Pro

2011-11-06T18:26:15Z

A good friend Stephanie Dickison put a flame under her career about 4 years ago with a simple static site I helped her set up. Since then she’s become a highly sought after reviewer of restaurants and products. Her blog, The Knack, is a fantastic exploration of unique products and her book is a lighthearted tale of her life as a freelance writer.

With all this success it was clearly time to revitalize her old static website, and she came to me looking to get things up and running quick with wordpress. Three days later, her site was up and presentable to the world.

The magazine style site is very slick indeed, but contained a number of bugs and undesired functionality. I was able to clean up the template and coach her on managing the site, which is now totally in her hands.

This project demonstrates the democratic power of wordpress, and is a great example of my $200 quick and dirty small business website package.
