Design Portfolio: Featured Content Gallery

This screenshot of Patt Lind-Kyle’s home page shows one of my favorite WordPress add-ons: the Featured Content Gallery (FCG).  This plugin allows WordPress users/designers to add a rotating image gallery to the home page that links to featured blog posts when clicked on.  Here is another WordPress site that uses FCG (DrMillerBlogs.com):

Adding a Featured Content Gallery to an exisiting WordPress site involves designing custom images and associating them with the featured posts.  The total cost for this add-on depends on how many images are requested and ranges from $76-$152.  Ongoing maintenance or changes are billed at my hourly rate of $38.

If you would like to add a Featured Content Gallery to your site, call me at (530) 362-8586 or send an email to cat @ catswebweave.com.

Happy Holidays!

Design Portfolio: Local Green Sierra

Local Green Sierra is a new business directory (powered by WordPress) initiated by Lorily Lachman (Alpine Green Living Magazine).  The byline for the site is “A directory of businesses in the Northern Sierra that are making an effort at being green.”  This website’s design and functionality are both still under development, but I thought you might like to know about it – especially if you have a “green” business or want to “go green” with your business.

If you have any ideas to share, please feel free to leave me a comment.

May all your wishes come true this holiday season!
