Eatz Moxie’s Staff Portal – WordPress

A customized WordPress frontend theme and backend admin control panel for a Eatz Moxie’s Staff Portal. Featuring a user interface and visual style consistent with their website, this staff portal is a great example of the flexibility of WordPress as a content management system.

Gathering inspiration, imagery, and content from their website set a solid standpoint for the visual communication, and overall user interface for the CMS. Complementing the attractive frontend design is a simplified self-administrated backend. This web panel allows for their outlets across the nation to update and create new content without having to worry about the code, as the post options feature a complete WSYIWYG editor.

The overall goal for this project was to create a portal for this company’s Staff all across Canada, and have a flexible design to incorporate multiple ads, as well as being a hub for quarterly produced video newsletters that will be hosted on the site. This was achieved with the customization of WordPress, and met all of the client’s expectations and more.

FlyKicks Web Design. An online basketball shoe catalog made with PHP and a MySQL database. Featuring the option to sort by brand and color, as well as an intergrated flash news ticker and image gallery.

Using PHP to dynamically generate content, this online shoe catalog features a fully dynamic image gallery, as well as a highly stylized flash ticker for general news and updates on upcoming products or sales. The site was given a very rich feel, with aspects such as shoe laces and perforated leather used throughout the design.

Content gathering, proofing, as well as image retouching played a large factor in the time taken for this project. Accessibility and SEO were also taken heavily into consideration. The site looks and functions the same in all modern browsers (Firefox, IE6, Safari..etc), and boasts a an excellent print and mobile CSS, allowing the site to be printed or viewed on portable devices (such as phones) at any time.

Alliance Tree Care Web Design. A full website complete with custom Flash carousel, Lightbox, and professionally styled contact forms.

Alliance Tree Care came to me to build their online presence, and provide an easy way to supply information about their services, and interact with potential customers on a more personal level. The site infrastructure was based around their needs, and a flash carousel and lightbox were incorporated to increase the visual appeal and quality of their company. An earth tone color scheme matched their corporate color, and tied the entire feel of the website together.

Also, a custom contact form allows their clients to ask topical based questions about their services, at the same time providing Alliance Tree Care with a strong database of contact information. This was a great project to be a part of, and Alliance Tree Care was ecstatic about the end result.

Recently the site has been updated with new HTML5 and CSS3 techniques implemented into the design, making a faster, and more SEO friendly website.

A complete website with a modern and comfortable styling, along with a custom CSS-only dropdown menu and navigation. Also featuring animated banners, as well as lots of content proofing, image editing, and overall typography styling and copyfitting.

The Waterton-Glacier logo also needed to be redesigned from the prior print iteration. Modern typography with subtle gradients matching the previous color scheme were implemented to put a fresh spin on a classic logo.

Winnipeg Parkour WordPress + phpBB. An integrated WordPress and phpBB forum for Winnipeg Parkour, a local parkour and freerunning community based in Winnipeg.

This design was sought out to be ‘clean urban’, which was a challenge in itself. What made it more difficult, was the fact that it had to be adapted to both and WordPress and phpBB forum, and remain completely consistent. Since the websites successful launch, the website has been able to generate a large striving community, and provide a great public resource for freerun and parkour enthousiasts in Winnipeg and all over the world.
