WordPress on Steroids - Texas Custom Choppers

Four months of hard work finally pays off! This week I launched pehaps the biggest WordPress project I've ever undertaken.
OK. I have to admit it. This was one of those projects that on several occasions I really wondered whether or not WordPress was the best platform to build on.
The client was very particular about how they wanted the pages to layout and it required a lot of customization of the theme. I actually started with the WPRemix theme but ended up with a hybrid of the WPRemix and my own customizations.
So why was I so insistent on making this work in WordPress?
The WordPress Dream Theme Goes to Church
April 23, 2008
A friend of mine who is the associate pastor at a local church recently had an assessment done of his church's website. The church had a static HTML site that he updated himself using Dream Weaver. When he got the assessment back he quickly realized that he was in over his head and needed help.
Some of the things that needed to be fixed other than the out-of-date design were; inconsistent fonts and colors, content scattered randomly throughout the site, poor navigation, and bad SEO. (Search Engine Optimization)
Another need they had was the ability for staff members to be able to login from any computer and change/update content without having to purchase and install additional software.
Using WordPress as a CMS for a Lead Gen Site
April 6, 2008
I frequently talk about using WordPress as a content management system for building all types of websites. Well, this week I thought I would actually show you a project I've been working on for a friend of mine.
My friend is a local roofing and home remodeling contractor. He wanted a site that looked professional, was search engine optimized, could be set up quickly and managed easily. And, although their not doing it yet, he wanted the ability to add blog posts in the future. So, of course I recommended WordPress.
The first thing I did was purchase Ben Cope's WordPress Dream Theme. I told Ben exactly how I wanted the design to look and within a day or two I had my website design.
WordPress - It's Not Just for Bloggers Anymore
January 25, 2008
I've been a webmaster for over 12 years. And in that time I've used just about every HTML editor, CMS and page generator that was ever released.
Today, I use WordPress to develop 99.5 percent of the website projects I work on. The SEO, Web 2.0 and content management features make it so easy to deploy and market websites there's really no need to use anything else. Almost anything you could want from a website can be easily plugged into WordPress.

I'm Too Sexy for My Theme…
December 1, 2007
There's no better way to start off the weekend than trying out a new WordPress theme. I know, I need help. Or at least a hobby.
Anyway, I've been wanting to do it for weeks and last night I finally bit the bullet. I shelled out the $74.95 for one of Brian Gardner's cool new magazine style WordPress themes. You know, the one that everybody's been blogging about.
