The design of the site was kept clean and simple and the process of purchasing the service, short and sweet.

The site was built on the WordPress platform and is mobile friendly.

Updated website for St Louis Author

I am honored that so many of my clients come back to me for repeat work, even moving from St Louis to Chicago 5 years ago ,did not destroy the relationships I have built up.

I have been working with Cynthia Reeg, a St Louis Children’s author, since 2007 and was delighted recently see an announcement that she had got a new book deal for a trilogy. It had been a while since her website had been updated and she contacted me looking to take her site to the next level. She wanted to not only update the content and promote her new book but to have the ability to self manage the entire site and develop a fan base which she could market to. The new site needed to be mobile friendly too

I am always up for a challenge and love it when a client comes to the table with a well thought out list of wants!

Her old site was static based but incorporated a Blogger blog. Moving forward with Blogger was not ideal so the decision was made to move to the WordPress platform as the content management capabilities are far superior. I built a custom responsive template based loosely on the look and feel of her old site (why change it when she was happy with it) and imported all the posts from blogger.

The pages were given a fresh more modern layout and a prominent call to action was include. It encourages readers  to sign up for her blog and in return they receive a free writing lesson. The call to action is tied in with an email blast program so her fan list can be easily managed and marketed to.

Making your Website Mobile Friendly

A client recently contacted me with a problem they were having with their site. They had  understood the need to be mobile friendly but had taken the approach of having all mobile users directed to a stand alone third party app. The problem was it  had been built for them by a company that had now gone out of business and they were unable to make any changes.  Mobile users visiting their site were be directed to an app which had outdated information, including that all important telephone number! Considering now that mobile devices make up for more traffic than desk top devices, this was turning into a huge problem for them.

My solution to their problem was two fold.

  1. Firstly I stripped out all the code in their site that was causing mobile visitors to be directed to the defunct app, better to reach a site with correct information even if it isn’t mobile friendly..
  2. Secondly I did some major “under the hood” work on their WordPress template, converting it to a template that responds beautifully whatever device is being used to view it.

The design of the desktop version of the website stayed almost identical …they were more that happy with that aspect of the site and didn’t want to change it.
