ADVERTIES

ADVERTIES: Designed by Brian Lis
ADVERTIES is a custom necktie manufacturer looking for a creative way to display its original artwork as well as provide an easy-to-understand site that shows product information clearly and concisely.

Brian told me that WordPress was great for search engines, but like anything, I had to see it to believe it. Less than one week after Brian redesigned the site, ADVERTIES was ranked fourth in my main keyword search in Google! That alone was worth the price.

We’re in a highly specialized marketing niche. Graphic design is very important to me and my clients. After Brian had a fact-finding meeting with me, I feel like he nailed the look I was looking for on his first time.

WordPress: While WordPress was meant as a blogging platform, it also makes a great CMS (Content Management System) for static websites. In this example, this user only needs modified pricing information annually. WordPress gives the end user the flexiblity to adjust pricing, text, and pictures at will.
Mouse Over Header: Header uses css coding to make the site feel interactive. Using css is makes a huge difference over flash and java coding in terms of file size and speed.
Multi-column: Different number of columns used throughout the site give it a more simplified look.
