Custom WordPress Themes
Migrate PSD Concepts to functional and SEO Optimized WordPress Themes
This site was originally set up on WordPress but the site architecture and theme code was not leveraging the inherent SEO power of the software nor was it being properly used as a CMS. The site was coded in such a way that it was impossible to maintain without the help of a webmaster. My client wanted to begin blogging and that feature was not enabled.
