Recent projects

  • October 29, 2013

Although things have been quiet on the blog, I have still been busy working on a few different projects over the past few months. The Sunshine Coast Lolly Buffets & Event Styling website is one of these, which includes a beautiful design based on a premium WordPress theme, and some totally mouth-watering photos of their delicious, gorgeous and unique event catering. If you're on or near the Sunshine Coast and planning an event, definitely check out their website for some great ideas. The most recently launched website was for The Water Diverters, which is a local Hervey Bay business designing...

Updated design!

  • August 11, 2013

I've been thinking it was time for a refresh of my website's design and look. This weekend I had some time between client websites, so I thought it would be a good chance to change things up. Thanks to the great quality King-Size ThemeĀ and my own knowledge and experience with WordPress, I was able to take a new theme and customise it for my own look and content in about 5 hours. This even includes some time to design a logo! If you're interested in a fast and affordable custom made website, browse around my new site, take a look at some other clients, and get in touch!

NextGen Gallery: Choosing a gallery template when displaying an album

  • July 25, 2013

Apologies for neglecting my blog of late! I've been working on creating and updating several websites and hope to post news of them soon. While working on a new WordPress website for a client, I came across a small problem for which I couldn't find a fix on the internet. Having managed to solve it, I thought I'd post it in case it helps others. My client wants to include a photo gallery as a central feature of her website. As NextGen Gallery is far and away the best WordPress gallery plugin, I installed it and began to configure and customise it for her needs. She requested that there be one Gallery...

New WordPress websites launched

  • May 3, 2013

Although it may look like things have been quiet lately due to the lack of blog posts, actually I have been quite busy working on a number of projects. The latest of these to be finalised and published is The Resistance Church website, which is a WordPress project that you can read more about on their client page. Another new client WordPress site launched recently is for Fencepost Marketing, a new business venture for some existing clients. I'm also in the process of redeveloping the website for NTC (the Nazarene Theological College), so keep an eye out for that project to be completed over the next...

NextGEN Gallery – Restrict gallery access to specific users

  • December 4, 2012

Anyone using WordPress will most likely be aware of the NextGEN Gallery plugin as the most popular and widely used plugin for managing photo and image galleries. I've used it on a number of sites and love the way it is easily installed, managed and customised to provide unique and beautiful ways of displaying photos. The admin interface is also easy to use and allows for really handy features such as uploading photos in a ZIP file, automatic resizing of images to avoid long page load times, automatic thumbnail generation and even watermarking. Recently however, a photographer client asked me if she could...

If you've been having a look around my website, particularly on the Clients page, you will have noticed multiple references to something called WordPress. In case you've never heard of it or want to know more, here is a brief explanation and some reasons for why I like it so much.
