Florenceroad – Wordpress Websites

Cathy had a very clear direction for what she wanted on her website, and how she wanted it laid out.  As a result we were able to turn the site around in just a few days.  Featuring a full width banner, which Cathy can modify herself, social media plugins in the right hand nav, and a customisable homepage. The site is clean and stylish, and can be fully managed by Cathy.

Testimonial from Cathy:

“Thank you Dave for setting up my website so efficiently. I appreciate your fast turn-around, speedy replies, good value for money and friendly, helpful service. You have been a pleasure to work with.” – Cathy Prastides

Nicola Milan is a jazz musician from Perth, Western Australia.  She wanted a site that had a strong call to action, with key links in the banner, and a prominant email banner.  Aside from putting the website together we also did her visual identity and logo.  Classic, Parisian, Songstress.

Oh, and whilst Nicola thought she was a dummy when it came to websites…well she learnt how to manage hers in just an hour.

Elwood Angling Club is a picturesque boat shed on the Elwood Foreshore.  But like any club, it’s not just about location, it’s the members and their history that makes it truly special.

Elwood Angling Club wanted something simple, because let’s face it they would rather be fishing than updating websites.  So to make life simple we put in a wordpress backend, gave them a fresh design, and taught one of their whipper snappers to update it.

The most enjoyable part of building this site, was sitting up in their hall, overlooking Elwood Beach, scanning in photo’s from the turn of the century.

It’s goose bumps stuff.

Transfit is a fitness business focused on people in a transitional space.  As this was a brand new business, part of my work with the boss Colin Perkovic was to help him clearly articulate his mission, vision, values, and core offering.  Using WordPress again, we built a website that reflects his brand, with the flexibility to grow as his business does.

Wize Therapy specialises in physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech pathology for children and adolescents in Perth, WA.  The team had an old website that was simply outdated.  Using WordPress we built a fresh new site for them, with feature banner panels, and of course the ability for them to update themselves.

Julius is a cool cat from the lovely beaches of WA.  With a website that he already liked, Julius approached us to build him something that you could update himself.  We installed Youtube plugins, flickr plugins and Gigspress, which means he can post content once and watch it fill up his site, saving him more than 30 hours a week*

*stats are not really accurate…but were used to exaggerate a point.

Jenny is a singer/songwriter originally from NSW and now in sunny Melbourne.  She rocks, and now so does her website. Using Flickr plugins, Gigpress for her gig listings, embedding youtube video’s with ease, and with a pop up music player Jenny is ready to take down the Australian Imposters…I mean Idols.

“Dave from Florence Road has done a terrific website for my music page. Dave was super efficient to work with. Not only did he complete my website in a few days, he was very generous with his time and skills as he trained me up so I could make my own updates to my website in the future. He’s a great communicator, easy to work with, and a very capable web designer. I’m stoked with the quality of my website, how affordable it has been, and how quickly he got things up and running. Thankyou Dave.“

Twitter tools is broken…here’s how to fix it. (more…)

Troy Roberts is a quality jazz musician and producer from Perth, WA. He wanted a site similiar to Jamie Oehler’s, so using an existing theme, I was able to custom his site into a little jazz gem. From start to finish (once the hosting was complete) we were able to turn this around in just a few days.

Features:
- An about section at the top of the page
- A jazz enfused velvet red colour scheme
- Highly visual graphics
- Myspace embedded music player
- Clear social media linkages
- Gigspress plugin for managing shows
- Flickr plugin to manage images
- Footer that features, latest video, CD release and images

Gordy is a world famous drummer and a really nice guy to boot.  Well not that we would kick him, but I think you get what we mean. Some of the projects he has played on just simply amazes us, and so it was pretty important his website was fairly amazing as well.  The centre piece of playdrumswithgordymarshall.com was his  fantastic video lessons, more than 20 of them, all hosted on youtube but needing attention on his site.  He also has a significant following with his blogs so this also needed to be a feature of the site.  Lastly his logo was a little old school, so we freshened that up as well, with something kind of classic older generation, yet still edgy.

Features:
- A video section that allows Gordy to place his vid’s up front.
- A featured blog section for his adoring fans
- Highly visual graphics
- Flickr gallery
- Clear social media linkages
- Gigspress plugin for managing his tour dates
- Footer that features, an email subscribe function, latest pics and tour dates.

We managed the hosting, the set up and even educating Gordy to update it via Skype.

Next Move Consulting is an SME consultancy. Using just a business card, the website evolved, and was completed from brief to final product in just 4 days. The main feature is a flash banner which flicks through the services.
