Redesign and SEO for London Based Art Gallery

ZorinWeb — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 18:37:24 +0000

London based art gallery, and Damien Hirst specialist, Roman Black Gallery, treated itself to an overhaul, both in terms of design and content structure. Given the bespoke nature of the galleries and the fact that the site would be handling a lot of images, Drupal was choosed as a CMS, in favour of WordPress.

In short, CCK module was invoked to assemble a number of custom forms, the results of which sorted in Views, and final brought to the user’s screen via Panels.

The SEO mix featured Nodewords, XML Sitemap, Page Title, and Google Analytics. As expected, ImageCache was used heavily to handle images.

Yell! Microsite HTML/CSS

Took designs for a Yell! campaign microsite and converted them to a functioning site. This was a pretty standard psd/design to (X)HTML job.

The site is a bid from Yell! to match up local businesses with local customers. Have a look over at yelltour.co.uk.

WordPress Coding for LegionLive.org

ZorinWeb — Mon, 03 May 2010 18:16:42 +0000

I implemented a new front end design for LegionLive, The Royal British Legion’s online community. The site has a very engaging look and feel, and leverages a good number of web 2.0/social community mediums, providing a hub of activity for Royal British Legion members and friends alike.

I provided an interface for CMS functions, customised a slideshow for the home page, all the while making sure it was fully integrated with WordPress Mu.

Fantastic Footers in Web Design

As a fan of big footers in web design, I thought I’d add a link to an interesting piece on the subject over at Design Shack. Big footers are great for organising content, giving a site a sense of structure and grouping/organising otherwise awkward pieces of content.
