fkp client series presents: J Why

Every now and then you get a cold call and it really works out. That’s how I met J and his wife after receiving an email from them looking for a web designer. As a designer, you couldn’t ask for two nicer, more organized and articulate people. They were interested in a customized WordPress site utilizing Woo Themes Canvas. I also integrated Google fonts into the site to give them more options toward the look and feel they were going for. It was a breeze working with them and the results of our collaboration can be seen at JWhymusic.com. There are loads of audio and video clips from J’s various endeavors, all well worth a listen. I have my favorites!!!

I am really enjoying the process of interviewing my clients and the subsequent editing. Now if only I had a better camera. This video has some footage shot by J’s wife Anna, and man does it look better. For more on Anna’s dance film, “What Comes Between Fear and Sex”, which J scored, see the trailer here.

So grab a cup of coffee, sit back and relax for a few minutes and enjoy!!

WordPress wins!!

WordPress has been awarded the Overall Best Open Source CMS Award in the 2009 Open Source CMS Awards.

No surprise to me. I have been working with WordPress for a couple of years now and have found it to be the best of it’s kind. There are many templates available as well as plenty of support, through the WordPress forums or out on the web. I have been able to customize code and design in order to offer clients websites that they can maintain, by far one of the biggest requests of designers today.

Much more than a blogging platform, a content management system with all the add-ons you can imagine. Widgets and plugins to extend functionality, easily. If you’re looking for it, chances are, it’s been thought of and addressed somewhere.

WordPress definitely wins my vote.
