WordPress Design & Development
While most of our projects are larger, custom design and development projects, sometimes a client just needs some simple theme customizations to meet their goals.
This was the case with a site we recently built for the Gary LeBeau for Connecticut State Senate campaign.
The site features a simple WordPress theme that we simply rebranded for the campaign. The result was a quick turn around for a fairly custom site. Screenshot after the break.
We launched the website for Savannah Biz Ads today. This was a pretty cool project.
Savannah Biz Ads has an innovative approach that’s going to allow local businesses to advertise in both at physical locations and online through their company.
This online/offline synergy is a significant bang for your buck in the world of advertising.
We also did some pretty cool things with the site, details after the break.

While many of our projects are focused around custom design and theme development for WordPress we also do a lot of custom back end work with WordPress.
Recently we completed a functionality revamp of Canadian online men’s magazine, Daily XY. This revamp included the development of a custom Google Maps plugin, MailChimp integration, Facebook integration, and numerous speed improvements/optimizations.

With the release of the WordPress 3.0 RC3 we are getting very close to the official roll out and launch of WordPress 3.0.
If you are currently running a WordPress site or are thinking about running a WordPress site you might be thinking, what does this mean for me?
I’ll attempt to break down the pros, cons, and features of the changes made in the WordPress 3.0

It’s no secret that IE6 (Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6) is a security and web development nightmare.
Microsoft has dropped support for the browser as have many notable websites, including Google and YouTube.
So it’s very promising news that statcounter.com is reporting that IE6 usage in the USA and Europe has fallen below 5% for the first time ever.

Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 will offer a series of new tools which are aimed to help PHP programmers and users of popular open source CMS such as WordPress and Joomla write code faster.
While I can definitely see the benefit of this functionality I have to say that as a developer I like to have full control over my code and I think I will have to stick to a more simplified text editor.
Not to take anything away from Adobe’s other great creative tools.

Our latest projects is now live. Unreal Studio approached us with some great ideas and a theme they wanted to use as a framework.
Combine Unreal’s ideas with Nicasio’s creativity and WordPress knowledge and you come up with a site anyone would be proud of.
Our in-house designer, Chris Underwood, created all of the custom header graphics on the site from scratch.
One of the more fun aspects was upgrading the client from WordPress 2.2 -> 2.9.2 – blast from the past.

The world of web design and development is changing rapidly. New programming languages, open source blogging and CMS platforms are popping up left and right, and there are more proprietary systems out there than one person could ever hope to learn in one lifetime.
In this world it might seem like web design and development is moving in a thousand different directions, but in reality I think there is one constant that we are going to see grow more and more in the very near future and that is application APIs.

It’s no secret that we are very fond of the WordPress platform here at Nicasio. We use WordPress on most of our web projects (unless of course another platform is a better fit for that particular project). Between the open source software from WordPress.org which allows anyone with minimal web knowledge to setup their own highly customizable blog/CMS and WordPress.com which allows anyone that signs up to create a new blog in minutes I have to ask – Is WordPress killing Web Design?
