Recent Work

This is a personal project of mine, done in WordPress, just recently re-designed and redirected. For lack of a better short description I decided to label it as an Experiment in CSS. The plan is for it to be just that, a project to learn from and experiment with those good ideas that you don't necessarily get to put into practice. Should be fun, check it out from time to time, it's bound to change.

  • Going The Extra Mile For Your Clients

    Retaining clients can be the lifeblood of a busi­ness, espe­cially in tough eco­nomic times. After all it is a lot cheaper to reach out and pro­mote your ser­vices to sat­is­fied clients than it is to bring in a whole new crowd. Fos­ter­ing good rela­tion­ships, pro­vid­ing value, pro­duc­ing results beyond expec­ta­tion, it’s all part of “going the Full Entry …

  • A Quick Wordpress Function to Add a Dynamic Body Id/Class to Your Theme

    While work­ing on a small per­sonal Word­Press project over the week­end I found myself want­ing to con­trol cer­tain ele­ments of my design on a per page basis. I per­sonal like to try and keep things pretty simple, not to clut­tered and keep the page ele­ments pretty stan­dard across the site I am work­ing. Adding dynamic Full Entry …

  • Does It Have to Look Like a Blog?

    I thought I would start this sec­tion of with some­thing Word­Press related as 85% of my clients come to me with just that in mind. A ques­tion I receive often. Does it have to look like or be a blog? A lot of poten­tial clients come to me because some­one has advised them that using Word­Press Full Entry …

  • Taking the Time to Educate Your Client

    Consider this an intro­duc­tory post to a new cat­e­gory addi­tion here on Papertree Design Client Education. This idea sprang from var­i­ous con­ver­sa­tions I have had with clients in the past and was put into action through the sug­ges­tions of one recent client in par­tic­u­lar. He pointed out some­thing that I have often told myself but never Full Entry …
