Trinity United Church – In Progress

Lynnita — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 19:18:17 +0000

The Trinity United Church website is still a work in progress.

Trinity United is an inter-generational, small-town church. They wanted a website that was friendly and appealing to a range of ages.

Skywagon City

Skywagon City is a small business that sells used parts for Cessna planes. The owner wanted a site that would allow him to display available parts and enable customers to contact him for a quote. It was important that he be able to update the site himself with new parts and specials that came available.

I had a lot of leeway with the design — only the logo and an existing advertisement were pre-designed. The final design uses steel greys and sky blue to reference its aviation roots, with red highlights just for fun.

Parts are arranged in a grid for easy viewing. Arriving at this layout, which needs to be dynamically populated, was harder for me than I’d like to admit. But it was worth it: the end result makes for an easier browsing experience.

And of course, the owner can update all content himself using WordPress’s easy interface.

Another fun project completed.

The Lamppost

The Lamppost is my husband’s website, and has often borne the brunt of my online experiments. It has had a number of looks over the past couple of years; this is the latest here, and it’s probably undergoing revisions right now.

The Lamppost - late 2009

My husband liked the look of the StudioPress Executive theme, and for a while his site worked on a very slightly modified version of that theme.

But my frequent requests to try a few little changes finally got me his permission to change the site up a bit.

Since the inspiration for the site’s title came from the Narnia series, and since it’s all about English and books, we thought that it would be fun to give it a more literary look. This look was achieved by using some subtle paper and hardcover texture, serifed fonts, and a muted colour palette.

There are still some details to work out, but it’s almost there. I probably won’t even beg to change it again for at least 6 months.

Pilger Equipment Sales

Lynnita — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 16:14:57 +0000

Pilger Equipment Sales is a family-owned business that deals with heavy equipment. They wanted a website that would enable customers to see the equipment that they have available for sale and for rent, and they wanted to be able to add or remove equipment themselves.

Their new site is maintained by the business owners, which allows them to keep content current and relevant for their customers.

Talbot Creek Community Church

Lynnita — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 16:08:01 +0000

Talbot Creek Community Church is a small church with a casual, friendly atmosphere. They wanted their website to reflect this atmosphere, making it easy for people to figure out what they are all about.

Their new site is updated by church members: they post calendar events, announcements, and sermons as they need to. This keeps the site fresh and relevant for visitors.

This project also included a logo update, graphic creation, and enabling online donating.

AirProps

AirProps is a small business that rents airplane parts for movie productions. Their former website was no longer compatible with current browsers, and they wanted to change their setup so that they could update information themselves.

AirProps already had a lot of the graphics that they wanted for their site; my role included updating their logo to reflect a name change and setting up their site so that they can add content as they choose.
