October Activity

I haven’t had time to write a nice article in a while, so I wanted to throw something out here to let everyone know how business is doing. First of all, I finished up a large e-commerce project at the beginning of the month for The String Collector. I enjoy rock and roll music and have a bass guitar, so this was a fun project for me to work on. The website can be seen in my portfolio, and you can read about it here: The String Collector

I am currently working on a web store for a band called The Vala. One of the members is a personal friend of mine, and he came to me for help with this project. The design was largely done by him, with input from myself along the way. The test website is still in its initial stages of setup, so you’ll have to wait a bit to see more from this one. This website will be using WordPress and WP e-Commerce just like the store that I put together for The String Collector.

On a different note, I’m about halfway into the school semester, my last semester at WMU, and I can’t wait to be done! It’s exciting to finally be graduating and truly moving into the work force. I know my web design and development skills will continue to expand, and I will use everything I have to help my customers create successful websites.

The String Collector

The String Collector is an online store that sells new, used, and vintage instruments. They specialize in everything from guitars to tuners and accessories. I created this website using WordPress and the free WP e-Commerce plug-in with the $40 gold module upgrade.

If you are interested in learning more about WP e-Commerce, I wrote an article about it that you can read here: WP e-Commerce – The Ups and Downs
