Yesterday, I went live with the new website for Foothills Family Practice. It is a custom designed site powered by WordPress and the WP-Framework Theme.

Given the recent redesign of this site, for today’s Picture of the Day I thought I would offer a stroll down memory lane: 1) The original “Old West” design for this site. It ran from September 17, 2003 through December 13, 2007. 2) On December 13, 2007, I transitioned my personal site over to WordPress. Along with the transition, I created a theme which featured elements of my “Old West look” while encorporating elements of the latest “Magazine-style” WordPress themes. 3) During the spring of ‘08, I focused more on writing and social media. With that change in focus, I introduced a new theme that I designed to feature my latest post. 4) Sunday, May 24th, 2009 marked the return of Picture of the Day and the “Old West” style that has been my trademark through the years. It feels especially good to have returned to my “roots.”

Yesterday, we went live with WomenGettingReal.com. It’s a website I designed for women’s issues author and speaker, Jana Spicka.

During the past couple of weeks, I’ve been hard at work designing the layout for BlogInfoSec.com, an information security magazine in a blog format. The blog features articles written by a distinguished lineup of information security executives and practitioners.

Today, I updated the website of Aldis, Inc. with a re-design of the original website I built for them. Like many of my recent web projects, the Aldis website is powered by WordPress.

Here’s a look at an 18″x24″ in poster that I created for my client, Feed Your Faith.

The Feed Your Faith website is a good example of my turnkey ministry website solutions. This website features:

• a blog
• an upcoming events page
• a calendar
• and an online ticketing system utilizing a Paypal shopping cart.

Furthermore, the backend content management system on this website allows my client to easily make updates to his website on his own time.

In addition to designing the Feed Your Faith website, I also designed their logo.

All told, I was able to complete this project in approximately two weeks.

The Life Ministries website is a good example of the turnkey website solution that we feature at our sister site wenderhost.com. This website features:

• an integrated Wordpress blog
• a Feedblitz email subscription form
• home page Flash animations and interactive Flash applications
• an integrated Gallery 2 Photo Gallery
• a Quickweb CMS backend
• and a contact form.

In addition, I also designed the logo for the organization.

All of these features work together to provide a turnkey ministry website solution for Life Ministries.

The Sirit PnP RFID (Plug-n-Play Radio Frequency Identification) website was born out of an ambitious request: “We need an ecommerce website in three weeks.”

Fortunately, I was able to meet my client’s needs by integrating Zencart Ecommerce software into my Quickweb Content Management System. The combination of these two softwares gave me the flexibility I needed to deliever a scalable ecommerce solution with time to spare.

The final specs of the website included:

• Quickweb CMS
• Wordpress Blog
• Contact form
• Home page Flash animation
• Zencart Ecommerce software
