Posted on October 21st, 2014 by Brent Carey

Colorado Web Solutions is excited to announce the launch of our newest endeavor, ColoradoWPsolutions.com. Our new website and refined approach will focus on delivering WordPress site designs and solutions to our growing client base. For many years our core has been designing and developing Yahoo ecommerce stores. While we will continue to support the Yahoo platform, we have decided to widen our focus with the expansion and acceleration of our WordPress related services. In order to accentuate and facilitate this new array of services, we have created a WordPress specific site, ColoradoWPsolutions.com.

We are offering a host of WordPress related services from simple installs, to theme modifications, to fully customized multi-site builds. We believe WordPress is the perfect platform for those interested in creating a first-time presence or for those with antiquated sites needing a fresh updated look and functionality. WordPress can effectively be used for a multitude of site builds. For more information, please contact us at: design@coloradowpsolutions.com.

WordPress Theme Modifications and Customizations

Posted on June 19th, 2014 by Brent Carey

WordPress theme modifications and customizations are a popular service that Colorado Web Solutions offers. We offer a variety of WordPress packages ranging from minimal theme installs to completely customized WordPress integrations. Our most sought after package is the WordPress Progressive Install. This service is ideal for clients looking for a website with a professional and unique look, without the considerable fees involved in a fully customized site. Wordpress theme modifications are the ideal solution for:

1. Updating older WordPress sites
2. Creating a first-time web presence
3. For clients wanting to move from a poorly performing platform, which lacks the function or design capabilities that WordPress offers.

What really makes WordPress stand out from other web platforms is a well thought out Content Management System (CMS), as well as a host of Plugins which can add literally hundreds of features and functionality to your site. To top off an already feature-packed platform – WordPress is likely the premier blogging platform available today.

A perfect case study of a theme modification would be Serenity Salon in Aravda Colorado. Serenity came to Colorado Web Solutions with the intention of replacing their older, less functional WordPress theme. After an exhaustive search we decided upon the Spa Treats theme.

The new theme offered Serenity a clean, fresh appearance coupled with an intuitive backend giving our client the ability to update their site without using HTML/CSS. While the new theme was well suited for a company in the holistic industry, it lacked design points and branding to match our client’s needs. That’s where our theme customization began. We modified the colors, page structure and images to create a new look unique to Serenity. In all, the new design and theme implementation was completed in a little more than a week.

There are a few key points to keep in mind when considering a WordPress theme customization or modification:

• Move your site to the WordPress platform and receive the benefits of a self-managed site with an enhanced visual appearance offering a full range of functionality.
• Obtain a professional looking site for less money than a fully customized site.
• Upgrade an older WordPress theme for increased functionality with a clean, fresh appearance.

WordPress Design and Development Services

Posted on March 13th, 2014 by Brent Carey

As Colorado Web Solutions has recently begun offering WordPress design and development services, we thought we’d showcase a recent client’s site transformation. Our client came to use with some relatively simple requests:

• An updated look, something contemporary and reflective of their quality educational programs
• A site redesign that would not break the bank
• To have their registration process integrated within site
• An easy backend – both to understand and to utilize

With those requirements, the choice of what platform to go with was an easy one. WordPress was the perfect solution. Often when clients hear the name “WordPress”, they will associate it with blogging. WordPress has certainly made a name for itself in that arena. What many clients don’t realize is that WordPress is also a robust content management system. It’s really the ideal platform for informational-based sites. The platform offers:

• Premium hosting and security
• The option of hundreds of pre-built beautiful themes or completely custom designs
• Easy integration of Social Media
• Thousands of Plugins which offer a plethora of functionality enhancements
• A relatively simple backend which anyone can learn to use with effectiveness

Using our Progressive Install package, we took this site:

 

 

 

And delivered this:

 

 

 

The redesign took us just under a week to complete. After an hour long call focused on training our client as to the specifics of backend navigation, creating new pages, posts and adding images, – they’re ready to go.
