Pond House Website

March 10th, 2010

This project came to me after an existing client recommended me to the owners of Pond House. They already had a website, but it was looking tired and outdated, it definitely needed a redesign.

After meeting with Brenda, the owner I got to work on designing the layout. The feedback from the meeting to give the website a fresh look, and to reflect the tone of the copy – which was friendly and inviting. I used warm colours – reds and creams, and slightly rotated the photographs used on the site to move away from looking too clinical.

I built the website using WordPress, Brenda wanted to make small changes to the copy on the website in the future, so having WordPress’s CMS already in place was a great reason for using it. Other decisions for choosing WordPress were for it’s excellent SEO capabilities, and the ability to add additional functionality if and when the client needs. At present the website is built with static pages, with the only plugins being used are All In One SEO Pack, Google Analytics for WordPress, Google Sitemap Generator and Contact Form 7 for the email form.
