Custom WordPress Site by Nicasio DesignMany 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.

Custom WordPress Design and Development by Nicasio Design

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.

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.

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 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.

WordPress Icon LargeThroughout the course of developing WordPress sites on a daily basis I have needed to learn the proper way to develop a custom plugin. When I went about learning this process I learned The WordPress Codex does a good job at giving you the information you need to make a plugin, but it is lacking in some additional information. There have been a couple of good articles previously written about creating WordPress plugins. Below you will find the links to these articles, links to some useful areas of the WordPress Codex, and some of my own insights on WordPress plugin development.
