Nicasio WordPress Design Tips

When considering a custom design for your WordPress site, there are important elements that are not necessarily within the syntax and mechanics of the template that should be kept in mind. For example, you may start with an idea, like “I want a blue background” but did you think about the fact that there are many variations to shades of blue? What about your text color? Headings? Accents? What about other important design elements other than colors? Custom WordPress design is just as important as the execution of coding the design.

Yes that is a ping-pong table you see there. The evening’s highlight was my 9 year old taking on and beating 9 out of 10 challenges.  I hear most are asking for a rematch!

What makes WordPress Special for you?

As we prepare for the Nicasio holiday party, we took it upon ourselves to decorate our office with, yes, WordPress W’s. Why?ws Well, we love WordPress and dedicate a good portion of our production efforts to pushing the platform, functionality wise, beyond the premise of blogging platform [see our site launches.]  What makes WordPress special for Nicasio Design – like for many in the WordPress developer community is the flexibility it offers, however,  from the perspective of a business owner what makes it special lies more in the level of satisfaction our clients voice with using WordPress as a blog / cms / custom solution.

WordPress Site Launch: FPFE

fpfe_screen1Nicasio Design is proud to announce the launch of our latest custom WordPress Design and Development Project: The Foundation for Personal Financial Education.

FPFE needed a custom site to handle their large amount of content. They wanted to be able to control page content, their blog, their different chapters, have a members area, and have full control over the other content elements on their site.

Through a custom design implemented on a custom WordPress theme we were able to deliver FPFE a site that is not only slick looking, but also very functional and user friendly.

WordPress Design – Do’s and Don’ts

WordPress Icon LargeWordPress Design and Development. As the popularity of the WordPress platform continues to increase exponentially, designers and developers are bending, stretching, and modifying the WordPress platform to do all sorts of cool things implemented on top of cutting edge designs.

This popularity has also created a maze of information, design styles, and basically an overload of information for someone who is looking for a designer, or theme for their site.

After designing and implementing dozens and dozens of totally custom WordPress sites we have learned a thing or two about what makes a WordPress site successful.
