With WordPress gaining in popularity at an exponential rate there are more and more sites out there running on WordPress. Some are running on pre-made themes, some are running on custom designs.
Regardless of how your WordPress Site’s design will be implemented the following 10 WordPress Design Tips will help you organize your content, get more return users, and have a better WordPress experience.
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.

First in a new series of quick tips we’re going to start publishing on good WordPress Design.
Tip #1: The sidebar is not a Christmas Tree and you should not decorate it as such.
The sidebar of your WordPress site is an extremely valuable area that allows you to show your users content that, for whatever reason, works best when separated from your site’s main content. No you probably don’t need that 3-d tag cloud (where it’s impossible to actually click on a tag – defeating the purpose). Just as with the content of your website, think about everything that is going onto your sidebar and decisions about what should be included there accordingly. Use the sidebar to help your users enjoy your site, not overwhelm them with widgets and useless information.

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.

As we prepare for the Nicasio holiday party, we took it upon ourselves to decorate our office with, yes, WordPress W’s. Why?
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.

Nicasio 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 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.
