Manifest Development now has a mobile friendly site! Head on over to www.manifestdevelopment.com on your cell phone or mobile device and you’ll see a bite-size version of the site that’s optimized not only for mobile sites, but for the touch screen User Experience.

The focus was on showcasing the services and my portfolio page, while giving the viewer an easy way to call or contact; that’s why you’ll find the phone number on the bottom of every page. The best part is that since this is a mobile website, not an app, you can access it from any smartphone, whether it be an Android, iPhone, Blackberry, or Windows Device!

At Manifest Development, I specialize in WordPress site creation. I can take care of every step in the design process, from concept drawings to content input. I will work with you over the course of a few weeks (or even months) to give you the perfect site for your business.

However, sometimes the whole process isn’t necessary. If you need a website but have time or budget constraints, I’ve got the solution you need: The WordPress QuickSite. A WordPress QuickSite will give you a fully functional WordPress driven website and blog for an affordable $549.00.

In Parts 1 and 2, I talked about the two most important parts of the site- the homepage and portfolio. Today I want to talk about a more subtle, but still important, part of the site- the sidebar.

For the second part of this series, I want to talk about putting my new portfolio together. The portfolio is the most important area for a web developer because it gives the user insight into the type of work he or she does, so I wanted to do it right. It’s now in two places, and is managed a completely different way on the backend.  Let’s take a look.

Last week I launched a redesign of this site. I started developing it in late November, and wanted to revamp the site completely from design to content. I got some feedback from my students during one class when we were talking about the importance of a small business’ website, and I wanted to integrate that, as well as some of the new things I learned over the last two years. I’m planning on making this a multipart series, and in today’s installment, I want to talk about the most important part of a website: The Homepage.

I get asked a lot about Facebook, Twitter, and having a blog. People want to know if one or all of these things are good to have and why. On the ever-changing landscape that is the Internet, social media is currently king. With social media, users don’t need to visit multiple sites to check up on everything they “like,” as stated on Facebook, they are always looking for the latest and greatest news, and Twitter has resurrected the proverbial messenger bird, making it easier than ever for news and information to come to us. So should you get a blog, Facebook, and Twitter? The answer is Yes.

A few weeks ago, WordPress 3.0 came out, introducing some nice new features for both developers and users of the platform. At Manifest Development, WordPress is my primary platform to work on and I offer several services specializing in the development and maintenance of WordPress driven sites. One of these services is a WordPress  Tune Up, aimed at keeping your WordPress site secured, updated, and backed-up.

To celebrate WordPress 3.0, on top of all the great services a WordPress Tune Up offers, Manifest Development is adding the activation and set-up of custom navigation menus. Before 3.0, in order to change the main navigation on your website you needed extra functionality or you would need to hire a developer to do it. Now as long as your website supports it, you can change your own navigations menus on the fly right from the WordPress admin panel. Manifest Development will make sure you theme supports these custom menus as part of the WordPress Tune Up from 2.9 to 3.0.
