WordPress Design & Development
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.

Exciting times!

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.

In case you live on Mars and do not know it – the Open Graph API allows pages on the Web to have all the features of a Facebook Page. Pretty neat huh? Read more here – Open Graph API -
But, what good is a post about a new fandangled thing-a-ma-jig without an example of where I can actually see it at work right? OK. Levis seems to be rocking the API very well in its Online Store. The question is will this work for or against the store? Are 334 people liking the Slim 514 Jeans enough to make me purchase them? Or, will it have the opposite effect? For now, I am NOT buying the 514’s as I am now caught up in finding the most ‘liked’ pair of jeans on the site, and when I find it – what if I do not ‘like’ them? Oh no!

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.

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.

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?
