I’ve known Andrea since we collaborated on the now-defunct England for Obama website back in 2008 – she’s a writer and musician but her old website was still very heavy on the ‘musician’ side of things:
Andreas old site that I made back in 2008
Although visually appealing this old site wasn’t responsive and had very limited features due to being a custom theme with no options panel (it was also written to 2008 WordPress coding standards).
Her new site was a quick weekend project that took just a couple of days work to get right. She needed more flexibility and a brighter and cleaner theme:
New site, cleaner, leaner and more focused on Andreas writing
To keep things inside a tight budget and perform a fast turnaround the new site was built around a modified premium theme rather than being a fully custom build. This allowed Andrea to get her new site updated in less than a week with very little fuss (apart from some weird hosting problems that are better left off-the-record).
Some lovely words from Andrea:
Kimb did a great job transforming my site for me. As I needed it doing fairly quickly, I was offered a range of themes to choose from, and found just the sort I needed. I’m really happy with the look and feel of the new site – plus the flexibility I now have to update and change it myself, which was a big factor for me.
