I just read a great article at the Neuroscience Marketing Blog about how bad websites increase stress levels.  Take a look at the article it’s a great read:  http://www.neurosciencemarketing.com/blog/articles/web-stress.htm

This really brings home the fact that you want a website that is going to simplify your potential client’s life, not complicate it.  Your business was established to provide a solution.  If you are creating more problems with your client through your bad website the client will be less likely to contact you for your services.

We have launched the website for Seattle child clothing designer Ricicli. Ricicli asked us to design a simple yet functional website that serves as an eCommerce store as well as a hub for wholesalers.  We utilized the Genus Online Business Solution to implement retail and wholesale pricing simultaneously along with keeping track of stock and customer sales using Genus’s powerful analytics system.

Bloggers and web pros alike are buzzing about this open source endeavor called Buddypress. Buddypress is an add on to your WordPress MU (multi-user) install that adds a dynamic, extensible, and robust social networking aspect to your site. You can have user profiles, feeds, commenting and many of the other fun goodies that come along with a social media site. I can see this as being a very powerful tool for small groups and associations who want to keep in touch online. For now Buddypress is still in Beta but it is already a powerful tool in use by some very interesting groups. I am excited to see where it will go and how I can use it in future projects.

Here is a video of Andy Peatling- the leader of Buddypress giving a presentation of Buddypress in action:

We have redesigned and relaunched http://katiesweddings.com with an all new design and concept.  Instead of just being a plain portfolio site we added a bit more character with blog posts and sidebar functionality.  All of this with a new portfolio system!  The whole site can be managed by the photographer without any need for a web developer.

We were commissioned by talented LA Upright Bass Player Miles Mosley to develop a feature rich custom WordPress theme that helps engage his fan base.  We built in a truck load of custom features that help him update the website in a more simple and efficient way without having to hire out for updates.  This project was a great example highlighting the power and flexibility of WordPress as a content management system.  Take a look
