Great Barrington Rudolf Steiner School

hschiller — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:31:09 +0000

w3sights recently redesigned the Great Barrington Rudolf Steiner School’s web site. Check it out! The home page was laid out using a grid, the school’s red color, and great photographs taken by parent photographers. Because the page is composed of WordPress Widget areas, there is a lot of flexibility and responsiveness built right into the design. The overall result is vibrant, as one visitor recently commented.

w3sights has put up a new Lauray of Salisbury site! I’ve updated the colors and layout of the site and of course kept it in WordPress. What I’d really like to do is add photos of all of the beautiful plants Judy has in her greenhouse – Orchids to Cacti – in one New England Greenhouse! So, check out the Lauray of Salisbury now and then come back to it soon!

Great Barrington Waldorf High School

I’m very happy to say that the Great Barrington Waldorf High School, where my son Harry is finishing his freshman year, has a new web site designed around the school’s colors and logo. The site has been using WordPress for a number of years, so redesigning was a matter of selecting a new theme and customizing that theme. I selected the Education Child theme in the Genesis Framework from StudioPress which I love working with! The site also has a number of new features, I’ve added a school calendar and am using a widget which displays today’s and upcoming events, in the sidebar. I’ll be adding more features, making some information handy and readily available to parents, both current and prospective, as well as students, and definitely more photos throughout the site.

Robin Leech Real Estate

I’m pleased to announce my newest website launch! The Robin Leech Real Estate web site was ready for a redesign and I have enjoyed the whole creative process from looking at other real estate agent web sites to developing the new site using WordPress…. and now to the debut. The site’s home page has a spot, front and center, for Featured Properties with more properties underneath. I made having properties on the home page, immediately viewable, one of my top priorities with the new site. Using WordPress means it is very easy to keep the information on the site up to date, another priority. (I love WordPress!)

The site also has a specialized Search which allows visitors to look at properties, by property type – residential, land, commercial, and rental, as well as by location and even to limit the search results by price or number of bedrooms. Each property has an unique web site id assigned to it and can be looked up in the Search by that id. On the individual property page, a gallery of photos is viewable along with the pertinent information and features of the property.

Check out this latest web site by w3sights! I’d love to hear what you think! Maybe you’ll be compelled to call Robin and see… and buy… one of the many magnificent houses on the market in the beautiful northwest corner of Connecticut.

Ask Dr. Gott

w3sights has been working on the Ask Dr. Gott web site. It now has a new design, search capability, and an RSS Feed. The most exciting news I have to report is that when I began working on the site it had a Google Page Ranking of 0 and now the home page has a Google Page Ranking of 3! I am expecting it will be even higher in time. The site is a WordPress site and I have more planned for it, especially with integrating Facebook. The site is updated everyday by Dr. Gott and his staff – the Daily Column and also has a Classic Column and a Guest Column.

Feast your eyes on Alice’s photographs. w3sights set up this web site + galleries + news blog recently. Based on WordPress, my favorite web platform, this site was launched for a photographic opening and reception called Unscripted Moments.

The Possibility Project

hschiller — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 22:14:02 +0000

City at Peace is now officially “The Possibility Project” Their new name reflects their growth and their evolving mission since the founding of City at Peace 16 years ago in Washington, DC, and the beginnings of their national effort in New York City 10 years ago. With their new name, they wanted a new web site and I was happy to be selected to set up a site using WordPress, of course. I say of course because WordPress is what I prefer to work with these days and has become my de facto standard for many reasons. You’re pretty much covered for SEO using WordPress, for one. With so many plugins written for WordPress a site can be extended to do almost anything you imagine. Not to mention the fact that WordPress is trully user-friendly, so web site owners can do a lot of updating themselves.

The new Possibility Project uses a plugin with a name that I love – Hackadelic Widget Voodoo. Go to “The Possibility Project” and click on the black sub headings in the sidebar to see it in action. And that’s not it! Pages throughout the site with a lot of text have sections or chapters that are collapsible, too, making for a very neat appearance and allowing a visitor to go directly to and only read what they want to without sifting through long pages. See an example on the Cities page. Thank you to Zoran, the author of this plugin for making both sections in the sidebar and on the page into “cool, collapsible, AJAX-type citizens”.

Visit the Gallery to see images from recent productions, original musicals and images from community action projects. Here you will see what The Possibility Project envisions – A society where teenagers are valued, respected and play a leading role in creating a better world. There are many ways to get involved such as volunteering, donating, attending a show, or joining the project if you area teenager in New York City or one of the locations with Possibility Projects.

After working hard on this site to have it ready for launching on August 2nd, it was gratifying to receive an email from Kelly thanking me and saying that the site looked great and that everything went smoothly.

Salisbury Forum

hschiller — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:01:54 +0000

I was pleased to work with the local non-profit organization, The Salisbury Forum, and design a new web site for them. I was asked to make the site look and feel like their posters and brochures; I choose WordPress as the infrastructure. I set up two categories: Events and News, and the site’s Home page highlights the most recent posts in each. A comment about the site: “The website looks super sharp, easily navigable; the photos are terrific, the info is easily accessed and digested.” Visit the new Salisbury Forum site and let me know what you think!
