FEATURED PROJECTS

craftyfolk

PROJECT:

A custom Wordpress theme and e-commerce site for the popular ETSY illustrator craftyFOLK. The website had to reflect the design aesthetic of the artist and also provide a robust and easy to manage e-commerce solution. For the e-commerce I went with the "Shopp" plugin for Wordpress which allowed me to style the shop to blend completely with the site and offer a seamless user experience.
FEATURES:
- Custom Wordpress Theme
- Seamless E-Commerce solution
- Organic design which compliments the artists work
CLIENT QUOTE:

"After a complete design overhaul and adding e-commerce, I'm ready to take my business to the next level. Thank you for a communicative, friendly and outstanding experience! Well worth the investment."

Founderbuzz

PROJECT:

A custom HTML5 Wordpress theme for a site focused on video interviews and startup news. The brief was for a very clean and modern design with lots of built in functionality so that posting interviews would be a breeze. I utilized a new feature in Wordpress called 'Custom Post Types' to create an 'Interview' section in the backend complete with custom meta boxes for each field. I also created many custom widgets for the site so that we could keep the layout modular and deliver site specific content. I continue to work as developer on the site and we are advancing the functionality all the time.
FEATURES:
- Customized HTML5 Wordpress Theme
- Options page allows client to customize text on the site without digging into the code
- Numerous custom widgets
- HTML5 Video streamed from the founderbuzz youtube channel
CLIENT QUOTE:

"I have to tell you how happy I am with the work you have done. This site is fantastic and it has been a true pleasure making it happen with you."

The Battle of Land and Sea

PROJECT:

Site for indie folk group "The Battle of Land and Sea". The design had to really reflect the DIY and dreamlike vibe of the music. I went for a very organic and hand drawn feel. Also due to the fact that the site would have a music player that we didn't want stopping each time the user went to a new page, I used ajax to retrieve the page content which, which solves this problem and makes for a very smooth user experience.
FEATURES:
- Custom Ajax Driven Wordpress Theme
- Organic 'hand drawn' design to complement the music
- HTML5 mp3 player with custom design
- Dynamic twitter widget pulls in the bands latest Tweets
CLIENT QUOTE:

"I now have a great website to showcase my music thanks to Jacob. It was a pleasure to work with him, excellent insight and was open to my ideas."

Mindlink Marketing

PROJECT:

A custom Wordpress theme for Portland based Mindlink Marketing. Site functionality was important as was a clean and forward facing design. I used special categories to deliver content to various parts of the site, making it easy for the client to update text across the site without hardcoding text into the code.
FEATURES:
- Tasteful grid inspired design
- Custom Categories deliver text to various areas on a page
- Scrolling slide show with configurable text on home page
- All built on top of wordpress and a powerful custom theme.

Catherine Feeny

PROJECT:

A new site for singer Catherine Feeny to promote her critically acclaimed 'People in the Hole' album. Catherine wanted a clean yet playful design to compliment the music as well as a music player for which I used an HTML5 player with a hand drawn UI. The site itself is ajax driven using jquery so the music does not start and stop each time a new page is loaded- enhancing the user experience.
FEATURES:
- AJAX driven custom Wordpress Theme
- Hand drawn HTML5 mp3 player
- Clean and playful design
CLIENT QUOTE:

"Jacob was easygoing and fun to work with, and he incorporated my ideas seamlessly into his own. His design was clean and playful, and I've had an extremely positive response from fans and friends."
