DF WordPress template design

Appre­ci­at­ing his Word­Press blog, New York City’s mind­ful­ness teacher and psy­chother­a­pist Don­ald Fleck wanted me to redesign his whole web­site in Word­Press.
Don­ald still liked the look of his web­site but wanted the ease of use of a CMS (Con­tent Man­age­ment Sys­tem) to make con­tent changes and update his meta tags himself.

Cus­tom Word­Press template

His host­ing provider unfor­tu­nately did not sup­port the lat­est Word­Press ver­sion so we had to move the web­site and domain in order to use Word­Press 3.2. Donald’s new tem­plate is based on the Twenty Eleven theme, as a child theme we future proved his site and he will be able to upgrade freely and profit from new releases and improve­ments as they become available.

Plu­g­ins

All in one SEO allows him to opti­mize and update his meta tags when­ever he updates page con­tent. We cus­tomized his con­tact form with Con­tact Form 7 and inte­grated social media as well as Face­book likes and Google +1.

CSS3, web fonts and functionality

To give Donald’s web­site a fresh new look I added CSS3 text and box shad­ows, rounded cor­ners and web fonts with the Google font api and to round off the design I used JQuery show/hide col­lapsi­ble panels.

Don­ald is happy with his new web­site and I appre­ci­ate that he trusts me with the 3rd website

Books I enjoyed this summer

Author: clou

23 Aug

This sum­mer I started quite a few books, I did not fin­ish all of them, the once I enjoyed most are listed here:

Labyrinth by Kate Mosse


LabyrinthA mys­te­ri­ous adven­ture novel with par­al­lel plots set in mod­ern and medieval France. If you enjoyed The Da Vinci Code chances are you like this novel too.
I actu­ally enjoyed the book so much that I went to France and vis­ited Carcassonne.

Eat Pay Love by Eliz­a­beth Gilbert


Eat Pray LoveAnother book another jour­ney… tasty read, and the film is nice too, espe­cially the Pizza in Napels scene. The book is much deeper than the film how­ever and if you liked the sub­ject of the film I strongly rec­om­mend the book as well.

The Win­ter Vault by Anne Michaels

Winter VaultA beau­ti­fully writ­ten book about love and loss.
