Backslash’s new site is up and running!

02 Apr

I’ve been thinking about, talking about, planning on, and finally working on a new web site for Backslash Technologies. Well, it’s finally done!

The redesign is based on WordPress which adds much-needed flexibility to the site. We’ll eventually have individual blogs for each team member in addition to a full-featured portfolio of our web development work. One of the final touches I added today was support for audio files to highlight our TechTalk podcast.

There’s still a bit of work to be done, and a few things to tweak along the way, but we decided that it was looking good enough to be published this afternoon. Stop by, take a look, and tell me what you think!

Checking out the new Tweetable plugin

01 Apr

Okay, I shouldn’t see this posted 84 times on Twitter. I’m going to save it as a draft and then check to see if it tweeted (it shouldn’t). Then, I’ll publish it and we should see just one message to let the world know that I had another random thought.

Here goes nothing….

Johnson and Skewes web site is live!

19 Mar

I just finished a clean-looking simple site for a pair of local lawyers, Greg Johnson and Tom Skewes. The Johnson and Skewes project took a total of a week and a half from the original meeting to a published site, a new world’s record, I believe! =)

Seriously, thanks to Tom and Greg for giving me the opportunity to build their online presence. And I am thankful to God for the work!

Creating prettier login screens for WordPress

06 Mar

Because it’s a Saturday night, I’m at home on the computer. (Oh, who are we kidding… I’m home on the computer EVERY night!)

Anywho, I was poking around on the Net and found an awesome WordPress plugin. So, the default WP installation has this boring grayish login box with no apparent, easy way to edit it. The BM (don’t giggle) Custom Login plugin by the folks at BinaryMoon.co.uk allows you to quickly create a nice looking login panel. They even through in the layered PSD file!

If you create WordPress sites for yourself or others, this is a nice touch to take things up a notch. The one that you see here took just a few minutes to make and install, but if you’d like to see even more examples of what’s possible, check out the Flickr Group.
