CONFESSIONS OF A PIONEER WOMAN, VOL#1

• URL: www.thepioneerwoman.com
• Owner: Ree Drummond
• Email: ree@thepioneerwoman.com
• Job: Complete Redesign & Site Manager
• Publishing Platform: WordPress

Synopsis: Separate ‘Static’ Homepage with 3-column internal pages. The Pioneer Woman is a compilation of 5 blogs and several unique templates and scripts; customized from the ground up.

The blog redesign began in late 2007 and continues to change and expand as Ree’s content and interests change and expand.

SHOUT-OUTS: Ree’s blog made it to TIME Magazine’s 25 Best Blogs of 2009 list as a “slick-looking site”, and won Best Designed Blog in the Ninth Annual Weblog Awards: the 2009 Bloggies.

BAKERELLA

• URL: www.bakerella.com
• Owner: Angie Dudley
• Email: bakerella@earthlink.net
• Job: Project Management; PSD lay-out and XHTML Conversion & Integration
• Publishing Platform: WordPress

Synopsis: This client did not need a designer so much as a Project Manager to lay-out and write-up specs for a complete PSD to XHTML conversion and integration into her own WordPress theme.

Bakerella’s strong design sense comes out in this “tasty” 3-column blog site. A compilation of a dozen unique templates and scripts, this blog is custom through and through. Bakerella wanted a publishing platform with ease of use; most specifically widgets, so she could move her sidebar graphics and modules around easily and seamlessly.

This blog customization has a few unique items; check out the visual category archives with the individual post thumbnails and the “lightbox” Amazon shop.

Initially at Blogger, part of this project was to import hundreds of posts, images, and thousands of comments into an independently hosted WordPress publishing platform.

SHOUT-OUTS: Loved by her readers, Bakerella is no newbie to online and off-line press; she even taught Martha Stewart the art of making Cupcake Pops!

DIAPER JUNCTION

• URL: www.diaperjunction.com
• Owners: Matt & Bryana Guckin
• Email: bryana@diaperjunction.com
• Job: Complete Shopping Cart Design & Website Maintenance
• Shopping Cart: 3dCart

Synopsis: This cloth diapering business needed a new face with fresh, clean lines to promote their cloth diapering and natural parenting products. Because of the nature of shopping carts, the redesign involved nearly 2 dozen template designs. I created the .psd design templates, graphics, and buttons, and then passed these files off with specs to 3dCart’s in house programmer at 3dCart to implement them.

PLEASE NOTE: Not all the requested “fixes” have been completed to design specs; we’re still working with the programmer to complete several small things.

This client is one of my weekly website maintenance clients.

CLOTH DIAPER BLOG

• URL: www.clothdiaperblog.com
• Owner: Bryana Guckin
• Email: info@clothdiaperblog.com
• Job: Blog Design Customization & Custom Logo

Synopsis: This blog is not a custom design, but rather a modification of a previously designed WordPress theme.

This blog’s function is two-fold: to support the cloth diapering community with up to date information and resources, as well as a venue for a weekly “FEED YOUR STASH” Friday! Giveaway.

This client is a daily website maintenance client.

• Pastor: Larry Schram
• Email: pastorlarry@summerlandbaptist.ca
• Job: Site Design & Co. Logo Illustration
• CMS: WordPress
• Logo Illustrated by: SAJ

Synopsis: This church body had a strong vision for what they wanted. They knew there would be several people accessing the site, so we built it using WordPress, which allows for users to be assigned “roles” within the publishing platform.

Complete design, plugins, dynamic script elements, text, and images independent from the design.

Complete design, customized WordPress theme and integration, plugins, dynamic script elements, text and image insertion.

Synopsis: This Keller Williams team needed a redesign that was bold, clear, easy to navigate and ‘popped’. I met with the team to discuss how the website should function and hear them to share their vision.
