			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-400" title="CaringGrandparentsLogo.indd" src="http://pixelb.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/CaringGrandparentsLogo1.jpg" alt="" width="477" height="300" />caringgrandparents.com is a custom wordpress driven site designed to promote grandparents rights. The logo needed to be simple and established. The loop on the letter G ties grand &amp; parents together and I like the idea that caring is what makes grandparents grand!</p>
<p>The <a href="http://caringgrandparents.com" target="_blank">website</a> utilizes wordpress as CMS to take full advantage of the SEO benefits as well as putting content control in the clients hands. Other technologies used in the function of caringgrandparents.com are PHP, MySQL, CSS, &amp; HTML. Custom features to the site include ad space, name capture, as well as a custom design.</p>
<p>The greatest benefit that I see to a design like this is the capacity to organize a large amount of content &#8211; There are several months of published articles and resources on the site. The grid and structure of the design along with the stability of wordpress to manage the backend of the site is a perfect pairing or form and function.</p>

I was hired to develop the logo and website for the Stuck Clutch Amps Collection. Fender made a series of amplifiers in 1968 with some newly designed features and a local collector has every one of them.</p>
<p>I was hired to first photograph the collection, design a logo to represent the group as a whole, and design a web site that showcases each of the amplifiers.</p>
<p>This was such a fun project for me to work on because of my love for music and instruments &#8211; especially Fender Amps ( I own a vintage replica amp myself )</p>
<p>The site uses wordpress as the content management system and the design and photography is all my original work. Go check out the website at <a href="http://stuckclutchamps.com" target="_blank">stuckclutchamps.com</a> &#8211; did you notice the knobs are tuned to 1968?</p>

<p>The icing on the cake? Well, all the concerts happen in my own neighborhood here in Duncan Park!</p>
<p>Check out the features like WordPress, SEO, PHP, CSS, Social Network integration, and in case you don&#8217;t care about the features &#8211; check out the schedule and come to one of the concerts!</p>

Shane has been a friend of mine for a long time and I&#8217;ve been a fan of his for just as long. I designed the logo and website with a longer range goal of implementing these elements into album art, and promotional materials.</p>
<p>One of the challenges to keeping up-to-date with a band is keeping your content consistent across your social media sites as well as your official page. I provided the SPB management with a solution that seems to be working out well for them. Using wordpress as CMS, I have incorporated reverbnation widgets into the site and social media sites (Facebook &amp; Myspace) so that they only have one calender and media player to update and the changes are automatically loaded to each site. Next time Shane&#8217;s band is playing near you, you ought to go out and watch them.</p>

The logo is new original artwork and the redesigned <a href="http://davidlsteven.com" target="_blank">website</a> gives users a feature rich and user friendly experience.</p>
<p>Custom forms for tenants as well as property owners were created and implemented into the design. The client has greatly enjoyed the increase in traffic and business as a result of the new web presence.</p>
<blockquote><p>Since launching the new site I have seen an average of 10 organic leads per week inquiring about properties directly through the site&#8217;s contact form.  I believe this is a great example of how using wordpress to manage content and incorporating the right meta data into a well designed site results in increased business to the client.<a href="http://davidlsteven.com"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-498" title="davidlsteven.com" src="http://pixelb.us/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/visitbutton2.png" alt="" width="262" height="57" /></a></p></blockquote>

The Duncan Estate</a> is a beautiful event venue indoors and out! The new owners needed a website to showcase the beauty of the property and allow ease of use when updating the site with the newest photos &#8211; They have a wedding or reception (or both) practically every weekend during the peak wedding season.</p>
<p>WordPress was a perfect fit for them as it gave them the content management capabilities they needed to stay up to date! The custom designed site and graphics I created for them really represented the elegance of the home and the property.</p>

I want to maintain a certain exclusivity with their existing clients but also make them accessible and available to new clients as well. A lot of people claim to have &#8220;something for everyone&#8221; but that it what I believe is unique to this retailer. The variety of merchandise available  is what will bring a variety of customers to shop in the store &#8211; simple enough right? Well, putting that idea on display through web and print campaigns is my challenge.</p>
