WordPress Freelancer

Troy Broussard is an internet marketer and independent business entrepreneur. He contacted me saying that he was looking for a WordPress freelancer to design and code a theme for his blog TroyBroussardTravel.com. This is a blog devoted to information about MOR Vacations Travel Club and discount travel in general. We we discussed the project requirements in details and, after that, we set the price and fixed the time schedule. Then I began designing and developing the his blog theme in a collaborative step-by-step process until it took the look that it has now.

Design

All the design is done with Inkscape, my favorite vector graphic design application. It is a great and easy-to-use tool at the same time. My client chose the color combination and I implemented them in the design, giving the me gradient flavor. Designing this blog was a great pleasure for me.

Coding

The theme is coded in tableless XHTML/CSS. At first it was pure and valid, but after my client, Troy implemented Awaber subscription code into it, it got full of validation errors. I is not a situation I like to be in, as I claim I code only valid talblelss XHTML/CSS websites and WordPress themes.

Widgets

The theme has two customizable, widget-ready sidebars. This sidebars are supported by CSS style any widget that require extra style, such as wp-calendar widget. My client, Troy could use any widget he needed to.

Layout

The  theme has a simple, three column layout. There are two widgetized sidebars, as I mentioned above, one on the left hand and one on the right hand. Also it has a main center column where the blog content is placed. At homepage there is a static welcome message form Troy. It is basically simple and nice.

Testimonial
