Wordpress Site For Author Alex Palmer

I recently completed a new web site and business cards for author (Literary Miscellany) and freelance journalist Alex Palmer. This project required a quick turnaround since Alex was attending a writing conference in just 4 days. We were able to go from almost zero concept to a Wordpress site just in time before the conference.

The site design was created from scratch versus trying to use an existing template and force it to work for what we needed. Future updates and improvements have been discussed later on as more content is added. I'm happy with the site (as is Alex) and how it turned out on such a short timeline.

Manatee Web Site and MySpace Page Update

I just published new web site and MySpace page updates for Manatee. Their previous web site was based off of their first, self-titled album. It's been almost a year since the album came out, so it was time to update everything while they continue to write, record and play gigs.

If you're going to SXSW this year, Manatee should be there. Stop by and check them out.

Custom Tattoos By Jesse Del Rio

I spent the early part of the afternoon doing some preliminary testing before I set out on the design stage for my friend and tattoo artist Jesse Del Rio.  I am going to be using Squarespace again as a platform for both the blog and as a CMS to run everything and I wanted to make sure it would be flexible enough to provide the design features I wanted to incorporate for Jesse... otherwise I was going to just code a static site.  The new site will give Jesse the ability to put fresh content on his site via a blog (something he does not currently have), and as well as a CMS that will allow him to keep content updated on his own, including galleries of his current tattoo, painting and flash artwork.

To see some of Jesse's work, please visit his current web site at www.tatsbyj.com.  The painting shown here is one of his newest pieces in a collection he is working on, which will be my basis for his overall site design.
