Over the past week I have been revamping the custom WordPress theme over at Lucernex to give it a more modern look without changing other aspects of the existing site. Additionally the client also had a number of very specific functions and plugins that they wanted to keep that I had to work around and interact with.

Joe V – The President of Lucernex – says:

Jim – this is excellent, my whole team loves the new site!

Over the last month I created a very cool, challenging custom WordPress theme for the good folks at The National Center for Weight and Wellness. Dr. Kahan is big time, he’s been on numerous national television shows and even talked at TED!

I think it turned out great, and Dr. Kahan just emailed me a thank you, so it’s all good…

Like all projects this custom WordPress theme had it own set of set of priorities and problems, but the client and I both like the way it turned out – so win/win

Need a custom mobile theme for your WordPress powered site? Get in touch with me – it is very affordable and if your logs are anything like mine more and more of my visitors are viewing my site on a mobile device…

Hey Now, I am very happy to present a new custom WordPress theme – Free to try Offers. Tim said:

Looks awesome! – You’ve really outdone yourself this time. It’s looking beautiful.

I am happy with the way that it is turning out as well – it’s fun creating a funky theme for a good site, and it is always awesome when everyone is happy with the result.

I finished up a design and custom WordPress theme for Lindis Courtney over the weekend. I think I got very close to the look she was going for and that her custom theme turned out successfully. She obviously agrees – this is what she said:

Thank you so much! Now I know about widgets too.

You are a good man, James Kendall. I will be back for more projects and
tell all my fellow life coaching friends about you.

Thank you Lindis, great clients make great projects much easier.

Here is a project that I did not blog about when I created it initially a few months back, but since I was doing some major modifications I thought that I would give it some link juice.

Tigers & Magpies brings you Korean travel reports and photos so that you can learn a little bit more about the Korean peninsula.

I revisited this project recently and added some custom views to a pair of categories and filtered those categories from the from page as well as cleaning up some odds and ends. Addendum: Evidently Eddie is happy with the results as well – see his comment here.

So if you are looking for someone that can turn your WordPress project around in less than 30 days I suggest that you look elsewhere ( maybe Bam! Pow! Media ) – but if your project has a slightly longer lead time contact me and maybe we can work out a timeline that works for both of us.

I found James after a simple Google search and I never looked back. Working with James has been one of the most pleasant experiences I’ve ever had with a designer. I gave James a short outline of my vision and allowed him the freedom to express it however he saw fit. Needless to say, I was overwhelmingly impressed by the end result. Not only was it aesthetically pleasing, but a work of art in function and form. If I ever need design services in the future, I will be sure to turn to JTK.

Thanks Zoran, and a note to all you potential clients out there, whether you hire me or someone else, giving your designer a little freedom always pays off!

You, good sir, have style.
