I finished up a new website this weekend. I’m quite proud of this one. This was my first project with professionally-written copy and it makes a huge difference in the overall quality.

The site was built using WordPress (of course), and the theme (East Baisley, get it? it’s a portmanteau of East Bay and paisley…) uses custom fields for taglines and sidebar colors.

I designed a WordPress site for Will Boyd’s campaign for senate. It was a fun process. Learned a smidge about PHP and integrated Chris Coyier’s AnythingSlider. I realize I could’ve used a lighter slider, but I don’t know enough about jQuery to make many changes to appearance, and I couldn’t find a different one that I liked. I also used custom fields for the first time outside of experimentation.

Please ignore the animated .gif… One of those things you just have to give in to the client on… though this is the least obtrusive animated .gif I’ve ever seen.
