Back to Work

Now that I have moved in to my new apartment, I am back to working on web design projects. I recently finished the first draft of a design mockup for an eCommerce guitar website for a shop based in Battle Creek, MI. I have not heard back from the owner yet, but I’m confident that he will like the direction I have taken with the design. Once the design is exactly how he wants it, I can begin the implementation process on top of WordPress and the WP-eComerce plugin. I’m excited, because I think this will turn out to be a very nice web store in the end. I am also currently working on transferring a co-worker’s photography website to a WordPress install. I think that he will benefit greatly from the migration.

As always, Fro Designs is giving out free quotes for web design and development work. If you have any questions relating to the web, we are happy to try and answer them for you. Designing web sites is a great passion of mine, and I’m happy to share my skills with business and people whether they are located in the Kalamazoo area, or anywhere else in the United States or even the world.

Moving Saturday

Just a quick update. I’ll be moving to a new apartment on Saturday, and that will involve lots of packing this week. I don’t expect to get any work done until next week after we’re settled in. However, I will still be available to answer quote requests and e-mails during this time.

Once the move is completed, I have a wonderful project to begin working on. This project is an e-commerce store for a music shop located in Battle Creek, MI. I’ll be designing a whole new look for this site, and implementing it on top of WordPress with the WP-eCommerce plugin. Exciting times are ahead, and I’m always looking forward to new projects!

Client: Gabbing With Grace

The owner of gabbing with grace came to me looking for help with her wordpress blog. She had a blog that she had been running for quite some time set up on wordpress.com. Unfortunately, wordpress.com did now allow her the functionality and plugin usage that a self-hosted WordPress installation would.

The owner tasked Fro Designs with moving her blog from wordpress.com to a self-hosted solution. This process went fairly smoothly and she seemed to be quite happy with the results. The next step that she would like to take is to redesign the entire look and feel of her blog. I am going to start the design process soon, and hopefully I will have a wonderful new design for Grace’s blog that will make her happy and help to expand our portfolio here at Fro Designs.

Helbreath Sig Request

For a while I have been making free forum signatures for the players of a game called Helbreath USA (www.helbreathusa.com), which is a free online rpg.  Since my new site has been completed, I have moved the signature request form and gallery over from my old site to the new one.  These two pages can now be found at the following links:
