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.
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.

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?
The web is quickly becoming more of the same. You will see the same design and same functionality duplicated over and over on site after site. Companies and bloggers are quickly losing their identities on the web.
How do we stop this downward spiral? By creating something custom for each of our clients. Something they can say is their own. Something that captures their brand, style, and personality and displays it to the world. Here at Nicasio Design we use WordPress as our canvas for cutting edge custom designs.
