New Client – CarpentryAustin.com

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

CarpentryAustin.com screenshotIndependently owned and operated, CarpentryAustin.com needed a way to stand out among their competitors.

Carpenters aren’t exactly known for their marketing expertise, but CarpentryAustin.com owener, Les O’Rourke, has been a welcome contradiction to this assumption. I love having a client that shares ideas that actually are helpful and make sense. It was a perfect, open discussion on how to draw traffic to the website and turn that traffic into customers.

CarpentryAustin.com logoIt started with a re-design of the CarpentryAustin.com logo, which I thought the client would immediately resist. On the contrary, he actually supplied the inspiration for the angle in the new logo. The more I worked with Les (no pun intended), the more I realized, instead of applying his creative eye used for his unique carpentry, he was now applying it to the web design discusions.

Take a look at the site and see just how creative a carpenter can be.

Amplifiedheat.com Redesign Using WordPress

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

Amplifiedheat.comThe original website I designed for Amplified Heat was received well, but the band didn’t have the time needed to maintain the website and edit their own HTML.

In addition to allowing the band to have a content management system through WordPress, a hub has been created that brings the band’s fans together from different websites like Flickr and MySpace. Access was allowed not only to the band, but also to their publicists, allowing for up to the minute press releases.

The true benefit of the re-design will be determined by time and the client that now controls the content, but I feel that WordPress will be a great tool to bring them closer to their fans.

If you have a family, business or band that you think could benefit from a stronger web-presence, contact me and I would be happy to discuss your options with you.
