Several months ago I mentioned that we had changed our website to a WordPress base. I have mostly been pleased, though I’ve noticed it is a little slow. This was also pointed out offline by one of my lurkers.
I’ve put off adding to the site as it has required some research into the new features. (You’ll notice the use of slide shows in the new pages.) I finally bit the bullet and have worked on a few things this week. This has resulted in some misfires and redundant work, but some of it is coming together. You might notice that there are some additional “Testimonials” in the rotation on the front page. Thank you to our clients and associates that have stepped up to provide these. I also have added a couple of pages in the website. I tackled two of our library projects (Monterey Library and Logansport Library) where I had a significant number of pictures. These were completed as stand alone web page entries.
Following up on the previous entry on Heritage Park, I plan to do some additional “Blast from the Past” entries in the blog. Where appropriate, those will be linked to the project section of the main website. The Blast from the Past items will be a little more conversational in the blog format. Hopefully that won’t be too disconcerting to those visiting our site looking to hire us, but I think it gives a nice flavor of what we have accomplished. That’s not to mention that fact that it took hours to put together each of those pages on the libraries. Making blog posts do double duty would appear to be a more efficient use of my time. This also goes back to the speed issue. The site has gotten large with all the pictures I have included, so by allowing posts to double duty helps by not requiring repetitive entries.
I am also considering how to incorporate current projects such as Culver Garden Court where I have made multiple blog entries documenting progress. Currently Culver Garden Court has a place holder in the main website, with a link to a Culver Garden Court search in the blog. They will probably get stand alone pages as time allows.
If you have thoughts on this, let me know. Here or offline…
