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.

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.”
