WordPress Development


wordpress dashboard

WordPress is an open-source, state-of-the-art web publishing platform and much, much more than just a blog! WordPress works very well as a complete content management system.

By utilizing the latest plugins, WordPress can produce a site that is easy for you to manage - right out of the box. Being able to manage your own content keeps you from having to pay a web expert every time you need to make a change, which helps to cut the costs of owning and running a website.

Some Samples of Custom WordPress Work I've Done


The Care Registry

The Care Registry - Pittsburgh Senior Care

We created a website that the customer is able to edit themselves, so they don't need to hire a web expert and the cost of ownership of a website is drastically cut down, without the loss of functionality and beauty.

I worked with Ledonne Creative and Clicks to My Site on this project. I was responsible for the custom WordPress template development and all Jquery and CSS.

Site design by Pittsburgh Marketing Agency- Ledonne Creative. SEO and content by Clicks to My Site.


Garden House Calls

Garden House Calls - George Weigel

I created this site for Pennsylvania Certified Horticulturist and Patriot-News garden writer George Weigel, who wanted his own site separate from the newspaper to display past writings, local gardening information and other resources helpful to central-Pennsylvania gardeners. He also wanted a web presence and e-commerce platform for his garden-design and consulting business "Garden House-Calls".

A custom WordPress theme and design were developed to suit George's needs. This project also included integration with MailChimp's email gathering form and basic Paypal Ecommerce integration.


1950's Website Design

Julie and Andy are Tying the Knot!

This is a simple WordPress site I put together to provide my family and friends details about our wedding at Graceland. I sat down on a Sunday afternoon and cranked out this whole site - from blank Fireworks file to full, functioning WordPress theme in less than 5 hours.

I am responsible for site design and custom WordPress theme coding.


Mon River Ramblers Website

Mon River Ramblers - Pittsburgh Blue Grass Band

This site was created with a custom WordPress theme that I developed and designed. The focus of this site is to allow the band to quickly get video, photos and show dates out to their fans and friends. The site is built in WordPress, so it allows the band to go in and edit all their information and add content without having to contact a web expert and pay for all their changes. It also includes an email list signup and options for purchasing their CD online.


Impact Interactions Website

Impact Interactions - Social Media and Marketing

I was responsible for site design, custom WordPress development and Jquery integration. This site also has a custom built section to allow users to download documents once they complete a signup form.
