Whipped up version two of a site for the guys at Nova Forca. Along with a new design, the site moves up to the much improved WordPress 3.

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.
Coded up a talented designer’s clean tradesman layout. The design focuses on usability and straight to point content. Images play a large role as they’re an immediate endorsement of the craftsman’s ability and skill.

When developing WordPress driven websites for Surrey and South London based businesses, more often than not, I find myself referring to a handy list of WordPress tips. Commonly, it’s the SQL commands for transferring the local site to the remote host.
There doesn’t appear to be too many psd to HTML tutorials on the net, so I thought I’d write one. Given the popularity of the WordPress blogging software, I’ll code the design up for WordPress rather than a static HTML site. To reiterate, this is about taking a design (in whatever format), slicing it up in Photoshop, or similar (Gimp), then applying the CSS to the HTML. WordPress features intuitive markup, so I’ll base the HTML around theirs.
Nova Forca are a successful BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) and MMA house based in Surrey and with operations in London. Their existing site was treated to a redesign and a content management system (CMS) to allow staff members to performs updates, blog posts, and upload galleries. The CMS has put them in charge of their content and encouraged them to post more articles, which among other good points, benefits search engine optimization (SEO).
