Blog Design: Grant Baldwin Blog

A couple of days ago I completed yet another blog design project: I was hired by Grant Baldwin to design and implement a Wordpress theme that matches his current website.

I was just about to finish my first free Wordpress theme at that time, so I used it as a starting point for this theme. Like I said before, Corporate Sandbox is great for stuff like that. It uses a basic two column layout, but it doesn’t have a lot of styling.

If you didn’t get your copy yet, I suggest you do it now. You can even recommend it to your friend or blog readers. And tell them there’s a new blog designer in town. :) It’s no wonder that blog post just became the most viewed on this blog.

In this case I just had to change a couple of colors and fonts, make some tweaks to the header and take care of some plugin integration. Needles to say I saved a great deal of time on this project. The client got himself a personalized Wordpress theme for a very attractive price and I got the right price for my effort.

But don’t take it from my. Here’s what Grant had to say:

Adrian was great to work with. He was very flexible, patient and was extremely knowledgeable. He got the project done quickly and professionally and I would highly recommend his work. I’m looking for other projects he can work on for me… he’s that good!

Everyone wins! My kind of projects. ;)

    You either forgot to validate the theme, or he introduced something in it that makes it unvalid. And unvalid code is a big “no no” for search engine crawlers.

    The theme is 100% valid. There are 2 warnings generated by the header, which is taken from the old website, using a PHP include.
