After almost nine years online, it was time to redesign Sweet Solutions and bring the site into the 21st century.

There was no question I would put the content into WordPress. I wanted to start blogging about web design and needed a CMS like WordPress that would allow for easy updating and maintenance.

The challenge was to come up with a layout that would not only be functional and have the design elements I wanted, but would also be attractive enough to make a positive, and professional, first impression.

Elegant Themes was the answer. Their themes for WordPress have a solid framework with all the design elements needed for a website. It was just a matter of deciding which elements I wanted to use, moving them around to best suit my needs, and customizing the look of the layout.

For Sweet Solutions I used the ET theme, “Lumin,” with a little help from “Deep Focus,” “ePhoto,” “eShop,” “Minimal” . . . oh, what’s the point of listing them all? I mixed and matched where and when I wanted, and what you see here is the final result.

NOTE: This site is still, and most probably will always be, in development, so you may find missing pages and content. I’ll finish as soon as I can; but, as always, client projects have priority.

About

Food for thought: My design philosophy is simple. Little details done right make all the difference between so-so and so sw-e-e-t. Every web page paints a picture . . . tells a story . . . draws the reader in. Or not. Websites are funny that way. Some work, some don't. It all depends on how successful the website is at capturing the attention of an intended audience.
