Peter Holcombe Photography Blog

webhank — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 20:45:37 +0000

We use WordPress on a near daily basis. We build sites on its architecture, we expand it with plugins, and we’re even in the process of customizing it for a peer voting site. Ironically, it’s not that often that we get to help someone develop a pure blog on WordPress.

When the talented crew at Peter Holcombe Photography approached us about re-doing their blog, we jumped at the chance. This project was truly a collaborative effort. Peter and Kathy brought many ideas to the table, then gave us free reign to bring their ideas to life. To suit their needs, we customized WordPress and expanded many of the comment features to make good use of social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Check out the site, leave a comment, and check out the amazing emotion that Peter Holcombe Photography captures on “film”.

Aspen Coffee Company

We’ve known the guys over at Aspen Coffee Company for quite a few years. Through all of this time it seems that some circumstance has always prevented us from creating a web presence for their three shops. That all changed in late November when we got that call that “it was time.” We developed the site on a WordPress 2.7 platform, used a good bit of JQuery to provide “oohs, and aahs”, then threw in some Google Map features to round the site out. We’re very proud of the site, and the guys at Aspen are happy to show it off to their customers. We feel it was worth the wait. Check out the site, and if you happen to ever be in Stillwater, OK forget the smiling eskimo and stop by and tell one of the Aspen crew hello instead.

Fresh Produce Sportswear

Sometimes the best things really need time to be cultivated. We’ve been involved with Fresh Produce Sportswear for several years now and in that time, the idea of putting the Fresh Produce Sportswear line up for sale online has come up several times. In the past some reason always kept us from doing it. We dabbled in ecommerce by putting the Extra Fresh line online (which turned out to be a huge success), but weren’t able to put all the products online. That is, until today!

Invisible Window worked closely with the talented marketing team at Fresh Produce and deployed the site using Magento. We can’t wait to see the response to this fantastic site!

Elective Medical Marketing

For Elective Medical Marketing, we chose to use Wordpress as the engine to drive the site. Wordpress met our objectives of updatability, search engine optimization, and scalability. A great deal of customization had to be done to get the desired result, but in the end, some handy plugins and some crafty coding (and a bit of work) got us where we wanted to go. Ecommerce on the site is handled through Wordpress as well, allowing a one-stop web interface for all admin functions. We’re very pleased with how this project turned out.

Invisible Window worked with Avocado Jezebel, a boutique jewelry maker in Boulder, CO, to create this online shopping cart. The site was deployed using Wordpress, allowing a blog to be incorporated into the site, and a customized Wordpress Plugin runs the store.

Crocs Love Hate

Recently Invisible Window worked with the fellas over at JoMotion Creative on a project for Crocs. The concept for the site was a contest where the public could create a video confessing their love of or hate for Crocs. Crocs Love Hate was born! For this project Invisible Window provided the rating and admin interface, and relied heavily on JQuery.

Invisible Window collaborated with 5 Stone Advertising to re-design and re-develop www.scentlok.com. This site incorporates Wordpress, custom web applications (check out the weather feed) and amazing design into an easy-to-update package. The use of Wordpress allows Scent Lok to easily make updates to their content, photo galleries, and videos.

Wordpress 2.5

webhank — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 15:11:57 +0000

Originally slated for a release date of March 10, 2008, Wordpress 2.5 made its debut yesterday. Most notable in the long list of improvements is a major upgrade to the admin area. Writing posts, pages, and especially managing assets (images, videos, mp3 files, etc.) received a total re-vamp and a slick new user interface to boot.

Invisible Window has been developing sites using Wordpress as a CMS for some time now, and it’s is a great system. Wordpress sites allow the site owner to easily make updates to content and imagery, and Wordpress has many features that allow better organic search engine results – these new features in this release make this great system even better.

If you have a site running a previous version of Wordpress (unless you’ve already contacted us for an upgrade, you do), shoot us an email (hello at invisible window dot com) and we can set up a time to upgrade your site so you too can be blown away by these new features.
