This particular project was a WordPress photo blog built with Magnetic Webworks partner Shona Lepis of Eye Design Studios (who represents the design arm of Magnetic Webworks). Shona worked with the client to create a photo blog that would be SEO-friendly (in other words, no Flash), very attractive, and easy to update with no FTP’ing necessary. In this case, Shona submitted her gorgeous PSD layout and I translated the design into clean, to-the-pixel, semantic XHTML and created a custom jQuery plugin for the homepage image rotator. Also modified the WordPress back end to allow client to easily select categories and photo collections to feature on the homepage. Created smoothly-sliding comments box for each blog entry, also using jQuery.
This project required:
- A customized Flash-like homepage image rotator with accompanying caption text
- An easy way for the client to feature any category the wanted to feature on the homepage with accompanying text and description
- A Twitter Feed
- Link to Facebook
- Multiple social media and email sharing links
- Various informational pages easily update-able by the client
- Various SEO plugins
- Automated site backups
Fortunately, both Shona and the client were super-happy with the outcome and Shona and I continue to collaborate on projects for both Magnetic Webworks and Eye Design Studios.
