We can do that!

At Sumy Designs, we are experts at the Thesis Theme Framework for WordPress. Nearly every WordPress site we do uses Thesis. If you aren’t familiar, here’s a little background info from the creator.

The Thesis Theme framework is a premium template system for WordPress that is designed to serve as the rock-solid foundation beneath any kind of website.

What I like about using this theme for the foundation of my sites is the flexibility it provides me to do just about anything on a WordPress site. It’s powerful. It’s efficient. And it comes out of the box ready for SEO. You can’t beat it.

Want to see some sites we’ve done using the Thesis Framework? Well, you’re on one right now. That’s right, sumydesigns.com uses Thesis.

Want more? Here are a few more:

• City of Richlawn, Ky
• Mantel Masterpieces
• Beyond Compare Pet Care
• Life Coach Lurlene
• Signature Organizing and Concierge

And those are just a handful. We work in WordPress every day, and we use Thesis everyday. We know how to maximize it to achieve the best results.

*I’m starting a FAQ section on this blog, to help users find answers to common questions.

The pace of the project begins with the client and we set our pace accordingly. We have been able to put a site together in less than a week when it was urgent, and we’ve had projects drag on for years.

It’s a good idea when starting a website to do some research first. If you know what kind of sites you like and what kind of content you’ll need, the process will go much faster. If the client prefers a slower pace, we can work slower. If the client needs a site done urgently, we can speed it up.

There’s really set time frame that a website is complete in. Two to three weeks is usually a good estimate for a basic site, but again, it’s a really subjective process.

This site was so fun to work on, and it opened up a new market for us: municipal design. This city needed an easy to navigate and easy to update website to help their residents find information, stay updated, and share.

Conquering the world one gas well at a time.

I just love it when a site comes together so well. I am really digging this site for a new natural running store in Georgia.

This site isn’t completely finished, but there’s enough that I wanted to go ahead and include it in our portfolio. I’ve done realtor sites in the past, but they always lacked the ability to pull in the listings, both their own and the listings of all agencies. At least without a lot of work and a lot of struggle. This time, everything came together. The site has loads of content for sellers and buyers, as well as all their own listings and the ability to search all the listings in the MLS. That’s the way to get users to your site and keep them on your site.

I highly recommend this option to any realtor who is looking to get an edge on the market.

Another in my series of screencasts about using WordPress. This one is a quick tutorial on how to upload images to your NextGen Gallery, and then how to embed that gallery into a post. Keep in mind that you have to have the NextGEN plugin installed and active before this tutorial will help you. Also, I only showed the short code for adding one kind of photo gallery, but there are multiple options for those galleries in your posts, and you can see all those options on the NextGEN Gallery demo site.

I get asked a lot of questions on how to do things, and from time to time I write tutorials, but I thought it might be fun to do a screencast. A screencast is a short video of my screen, running through a concept, with my exciting voice narrating what you need to do. This one is a short and easy video on how to add photos to your posts and pages in WordPress.

I love it when a site really comes together. This site is for Tina Montagna Tate, an art psychotherapist out of Philadelphia. What I love about this site is the simplicity. It’s nice to look at, easy to navigate, and has all the information you need. Find out more about Tina at her website, http://www.tinamontagnatate.com/.

Another wordpress site for authors of a new book about climate change and your health.
