This is a fairly unique website that we had the pleasure of building out. eTrain Today already had a logo and a basic idea of where they wanted to go with design, but needed help getting their new business venture up and running.
eTrain provides online training and testing for people that work with hazardous materials and other jobs that require various certifications. This site had to be part e-commerce, part membership management, and part distance learning.
We ended up building the site on WordPress. Through the use of a custom theme, the Shopp plugin, a custom, AJAX powered e-learning plugin (written by Nicasio) and integration with Articulate’s Presenter software we delivered a solution that is functional, intuitive, and easy to use (for both the site admin and test takers).

We are proud to announce the launch of our latest custom WordPress Design and Development project.
R&J Public Relations required a robust content management system that allowed them to manage, edit and display several different types of data in innovative ways.
As there are several site editors, a simple and intuitive backend interface was required.
The solution we chose was a custom site using WordPress, built on a child theme of the TwentyTen theme. To accommodate the different data types being used on the site we used several different custom post types, each with its own custom taxonomies and custom meta boxes. This created a very intuitive and user friendly interface in the admin area of the site. Mix in some clean AJAX UI effects on the front end of the site (powered by jQuery) and you have R&J’s new, sleek site.

Many of our projects here at Nicasio Design are custom WordPress design and development projects. However, sometimes a client already has a site design and layout they like, but they want the power of WordPress for managing their site. In these instances we are able to take an existing design and implement it on the WordPress platform
Savannah Inns already had a static site and a separate WordPress blog. The goal was to combine the two sites and create one easy to manage system using WordPress.

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.

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.

Our latest project built on the Wild Apricot platform is complete. The World Trade Center San Diego approached us about building their website on the Wild Apricot platform. They loved the member management component of Wild Apricot, but needed a fair amount of custom Javascript and Flash integration to achieve all of their goals.
We were able to meet all existing functionality of their old site, add some new functionality and allow them to use the great member management capabilities of Wild Apricot with this custom build.

Nicasio Design is proud to announce the launch of one of our latest WordPress sites for Dr. Barbara Goschi.
Dr. Goschi needed a highly customized content management system and e-commerce site launched where she could sell her products, sell her advice, communicate with her patients/readers, and outline her services.
The solution we chose to build out her custom design is WordPress and the Shopp Plugin.

American Ion has an exciting new product that can keep the air in your home, office, etc clean of bad smells, allergens, and some viruses. They have a great product and needed a website that could get them off the ground quickly and also scale as their new venture grew.
Our solution after the break.

iFive needed their new website design built out to incorporate two different platforms – WordPress and Wild Apricot.
The WordPress theme we built is a highly custom theme using advanced content management techniques which allows iFive to control every aspect of their site’s content from within the site’s admin.
The Wild Apricot build is a custom Wild Apricot theme which allows iFive to maintain the same look and feel across both platforms while gaining the membership benefits of Wild Apricot combined with the content management and scalability of WordPress.
A customized version of our own Dynamic Headers plugin also makes an appearance on this site.

The web has been buzzing with talk of the new L5 remote for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Nicasio Design had the pleasure of creating the website for this innovative new product.
L5 needed a way to market their genius new device and had an idea for site design, but needed someone to bring it to life. This is where we (and WordPress) came in.
Using a slick, custom theme powered by AJAX (also with non-javascript support of course) a web presence was created for this exciting new gadget in record time.
