Blooming Quill Redesign

The Blooming Quill has been updated with a new design. Jessica has designed this site.

This was the first time I've built a theme with the mobile first technique. It was a bit of a challenge to think "backward" from my normal thought process. It was fun, and turned out very nicely I think. In the end it does seem easier to add in features rather than take them away.

Gilded Quill Reimagined

Another website has been completed - The Gilded Quill (learn more). This site is for a calligrapher with wonderful work. The old site hadn't been redesigned in several years and was looking dated. The new design by Jessica looks great. The store has also been incorportated with the rest of the site, driving more traffic to one URL and improving the SEO.

Rhythm & Beyond site build

Recently I completed the setup of a new WordPress site. Using the old theme as a baseline, I was able to bring in new elements improving the layout. The old site was built in Joomla, which was not a good fit for the client.
