My Services

I don’t do a lot of work for other people, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have time or I don’t enjoy it. I just don’t market myself in that way. If you’re in need of PSD to HTML — or PSD to WordPress, PSD to vBulletin, etc. — coding services and have stumbled your way onto the WP SLIDER demo, it’s your lucky day.

What is PSD to HTML?
I take your PSD (Photoshop file), or other image (JPEG, PNG, Adobe Illustrator file, PDF, et al.) file and use it as a reference point to create a functioning web page. If you want it done as a wordpress other software theme, I integrate it into that software as a theme as well. I use semantic markup and easy-to-understand methodologies to make future updates as painless as possible.

Examples:
The University of Georgia does their own designs but contract out the coding so I’ve done a few for them, they’re as a good of an example as any:

• http://greg-j.com/portfolio/University-of-Georgia/ecology/
• http://greg-j.com/portfolio/University-of-Georgia/gwinnette/

Both of these are very straight-forward examples. They sent me PSD’s and I coded them into a functional design. These particular examples had few interactive elements. As for interactivity, I use the jQuery javascript library unless specifically requested to use something else.

Interested? Contact Me and tell me about your project. Let me know if it’s a tight deadline as well. I’ve saved someone’s skin on more than one occasion and am happy to do so.

Another service I offer that falls into the because-I-love-to-do-it category is Wordpress theme design. This differs from PSD to HTML coding in that I design the site from concept to implementation. I learn about your site/business/project and we discuss what it is you want to convey with your online presense. From there I build a theme that meets your needs and implement it into WordPress for you.

How’s it work?
The most recent Wordpress Theme Design I did was for Shashank Nigam of Simpliflying — the worlds most popular authority on aviation branding. I learned about what Simpliflying.com was and used the site for a few hours to understand its purpose. Shashank and I then discussed what it was about his old site that he liked and disliked as well as what it was that he wanted to accomplish with a site redesign. I then presented him with a screenshot of the site proposed and we went back and forth to make tweaks here and there. Once we had a look that he was thrilled with I took the design and made it into a full functioning Wordpress Theme. In the case of Simpliflying.com, there were a number of elements important to Shashank that we implemented into the site:

• Show the most recent interview on the index only
• Show the most recent presentation on the index only
• Present a slide-show like element of all news mentions on the index only
• Put a tabbed widget in the sidebar displaying top posts, comments, etc.
• Display 3 full posts, 5 post summaries and 5 links to previously posted articles on the index instead of the normal blog-like list of articles

Since the implementation of Simpliflying.com’s new design Shashank has added several plugins and really taken the design and used it to evolve his site with very little input from me. Simpliflying is a great example of how working together can take a wordpress installation and make it into something completely different.

If you want to build a site with wordpress — or evolve an existing site — all you need to do is contact me to get the ball rolling. If it’s a project with a short deadline, make sure to let me know.

If you’re looking to build a site and you don’t want to use WordPress, I can help you there too. There’s not a lot I can’t do in the way of web development and design. Being the author of one of the most popular free wordpress theme resources, several wildly popular php scripts (MSRS, MSLS & MSAS) and the creator of widely used techniques (CSS Rounded Corners) — I have my foot in just about everything web-related.

Whether it’s a ground up development or you just need help coming up with a design that represents your site, let me know. There’s nothing I can’t do.
