Blog Articles for ‘wordpress customization examples’
Back in 2008, I had the opportunity to work with Cathy Hartman Photography on the customization of her smugmug site. At the time, her photography business was “Treasured Moments” photography.
Cathy recently contact us for ‘an extreme makeover’ to her site with new colors, banner, logo, slideshow, content and music. LT worked with the Cathy on implementing the modifications. Most importantly, LT did not have to ‘recreate’ the customization of her smugmug site. The customization is design specifically for ‘extreme makeovers’ and enhancements for photographers who change there market brand strategy. This results in both a savings in time and money and expedites the redesign process. LT also work with Cathy to design and develop her wordpress blog which looks exactly like her smugmug web site.
Cathy writes to us “I have loved photography since I was a kid. It was always a great hobby, but not something I had time to pursue professionally. Most of my images were of my six children, 10 grandchildren, and students at my dance studio. Three years ago I sold my dance studio and last year became an empty nester. This gave me the opportunity to take my photography to the next level. I am very passionate about my photography and feel so blessed to spend every day with my camera. Some days I think I only want to be a baby and child photographer because I absolutely love the little ones. Then the next day I change my mind as I have a blast with a senior. Weddings are awesome – who doesn’t love a wedding! It means so much to be able tell the story of the couple’s special day through my images. And, I still have my passion for dance, but now as a dance photographer. There is nothing like capturing the beauty of a dancer whether on stage or leaping through the park. ”

j Rost Photography (Julie) specializes in Sports, Events, Music, Weddings and Portrait photography in Sacramento California.
Julie comments “Photography is a very personal expression of the world around us. For me, it is a natural extension of my art background. Having spent many years creating art the old fashioned way with pen and paper, I was quickly enamored with the visual thrill of Photoshop! Discovering the magic of photoshop drove me to create my own images and hence the photography was born. The combination of taking great photos and then taking them a step further in photoshop is a thrill that will never tire with me. I don’t rely on Photoshop as a post-production band-aid, you HAVE to get it right when you shoot the image, but rather a way to make photographic art. There is something very special about capturing just the right moment with the camera and taking it to a breath-taking image. It is what thrills me and keeps me shooting and creating. For me, the art and science of photography and photoshop go hand in hand seamlessly from one to another…like the circle of life if you will.
Julie comments about her smugmug site and jR Customization “Working with Jerry has been a dream come true! I have been struggling for years to make my website do all the things that I wanted it to do — while LOOKING great! As a photographer, I am very visually driven and have never been able to find a way to showcase my work on a functional platform that does both beautifully. For all you photographers out there…stop what you are doing and hire Jerry to work on your site. It will be the best thing you have ever done and I guarantee you will love it. Jerry has found the magic combination of building the behind the scenes functionality in a way that will make your site stand out and look amazing! Thanks Jerry…you ROCK.”

Round Top Texas jeweler Lyn Foley uses specializes in handmade beads and glasswork jewelry. Lyn uses Smugmug to post images of jewelry and sells to customers via paypal. Lyn uses the wordpress blog – which design is similar to her smugmug site – to write her latest creative jewerly work, art shows, specials and topics related to jewelry making.
Lyn writes about smugmug and jR Customization:
“I was excited when I discovered SmugMug a few years ago since selling my jewelry online requires a lot of photos of my work. SmugMug makes uploading those picture so easy (I don’t have to resize them), and I can show my extensive photo portfolio of sold work online as well. Many customers have commented on the clear easy screen navigation is, and how good my jewelry looks. Thanks Jerry, for customizing my site and making it look fabulous and professional. Now my jewelry will be easier to sell with the much needed “Buy Now” buttons, great navigation, and integrated blog and other stuff! Jerry, you Rock!”

Richmond Virginia area photographers Al and Linda Warfield specialize in portrait, nature and fine art photography.
Al writes about smugmug and jR Customization:
“Over the past few years Photography has become the main focus for me. It started with film, and then into digital. The learning process was mostly software oriented, and I learned Photoshop, Camera Raw, Photodex Pro Show Gold, and Photomatix for HDR photography, as well as a few others. But after Jerry started customizing my Smugmug website all that had to take a back seat to Smugmug, Dgrin, CSS, Java, SEO, and all the technical terms I never dreamed of before. It’s been an uphill climb, but JR has helped me, and even pushed me to learn this stuff. I have a long way to go still, but am gaining in leaps and bounds. The site looks great, and the cost was about 1/5 of what I would have spent if I had someone do the whole thing from scratch without JR and Smugmug. Thanks for all your help, JR.”

During the summer, myself and Alicia from Moments Photography had the opportunity to work on a new site – Dakota Cuvée Events. “Dakota Cuvée Events is the event planner and caterer of choice when looking for a company to treat your party as if it was their own.” Given the elegance of Dakota Cuvée Events, we did not want to implement some plain-boring static html web site nor did we want to implement a ‘flashy-flash’ site which is next to impossible for anyone to maintain; scratch both those ideas from the ‘menu’. What would be the solution ? Simple – wordpress!
The Wordpress solution enabled us to design a site combining pages and blog posts. The pages consist of information about the Dakota Cuvée Events five-star menus, catering information, events planning, the southshore Louisiana and northshore Louisiana venues. The sites pages also contain information about the Cuvée, Dakota and Rambla restaurants. New Orleans nationally acclaimed events planner Bridgette Miramon has the ability to use the blog to write articles about up-coming events as well as several of Dakota Cuvée Events success stories. Bridgette can also maintain the sites blog articles and content pages herself easily through the wordpress dashboard. Visitors to the site have the ability to share the blog articles via the several social media platforms. The site is even iphone friendly and google search engine optimization (SEO) loves wordpress! Yeah – this is a blog – see for yourself – visit Dakota Cuvée Events.

One of the very first sites I customized was Get the Picture Photography. Tricia Hackney was has been a ’smugger’ since 2004 and she found me via one of the photography forums. I was just starting off my small business so this was an excellent opportunity to work with a someone that had been using smugmug for a while.
Three years later, I am proud to say I am still her ‘web guy’ as Tricias business has grown from a home studio to now a downtown studio. Tricia photographs clients in both her studio and on location. Tricia uses smugmug to store all of her client photos and has over 120,000+ photos to date. Tricia recently contacted us for ‘an extreme makeover’ and we impletmented a smugmug/blog intregration onto her site. She is now ready to rock the web world into 2010 with her new blog. Tricia does also does a lot of work with Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (NILMDTS) and Operation Love ReUnited.

Galt Photography
Santa Rosa California area photographers Forrest and Myra Galt specialize and wedding and portrait photography.
Forrest and Myra “love photography because of the way it conveys to the viewer the image of a loved one in a pleasant or amusing way. The photograph is a record of a person or event that will not change. So often photography is overlooked by most people, they don’t see the value of it until it is too late. We strive to make the best images possible, and we enjoy the challenge of it.”
Galt Photography uses both wordpress and smugmug for their internet site. “Thanks to Jaki Good, we found Jerry Roek. He did an incredible job of designing our new web site! Our old web site was stagnant, yet I wasn’t sure how to create a new one. Jerry lead us through the process quickly and was very responsive to our questions and concerns. We highly recommend him.”
