This site went together very quickly, as child themes usually do.  I like the background and coved corners on the content.…

A site I manage fashionCOW.com, has been hosted by Godaddy.com — not because I chose them, but it was set up there when I inherited the account.  I was willing to give them the benefit of doubt.  That has now changed.

I recently created a mobile theme for this site: mumford-photo.com. Check it out on both a desktop and a smartphone.

I followed the method outlined in Mobile Web Development by James Pearce.

The project has two parts, and neither are very difficult. First, you …

See it at fashioncow.com. This is a big multi-looped magazine theme. It is all custom Wordpress, with a lot of plugins. The owner of the site, prolific fashion blogger Tanya Wilson, wanted a site that would compete with high end fashion sites like Fabsugar.com, and Elle.com.

This site is the second one I built on this  particular theme, with a fixed background image. I designed this for images to stretch to fill the browser window. This is nice because it scales well–no matter how big or small your screen it, the …

A client came to me with a flash site that was long out of date.  I re-coded it in XHTML, CSS, and WordPress. I was very pleased that it retains much of the look and feel of the original site, on a far more usable, …
