I had used Therese as my wedding videographer when I got marred in April of 2008. From the way she did business to the way our video came out, I knew Therese meant business. She was also voted to be one of the top videographers in NJ. I visted Therese’s website and noticed she was trying to run a video blog with WordPress. When I visited her blog I noticed she was using the standard/default wordpress theme with no color to match her website. I contact Therese immediately and this is what I came up with.

The Norm

WordPress is a very powerful tool for those who are interested in blogging. I use WordPress and I absolutely love it. You are able to customized just about everything on your website from the color, to the layout, to the plugins. On a fresh install of wordpress, you get your default theme (which is pictured to the left) and nothing more but one standard post and comment. It is extremely plain and very unattractive. Therese’s blog looked identical to the default blog with a lot of large black boxed throughout the left side of it. Those boxes were the videos she had. I came in and changed a lot of it, see below.

The Update

After contacting Therese, I found out her main objective for her blog was to host video and share it with other brides and grooms. It was also a way to share her editing skill for anyone who is looking for a videographer for their wedding. After a lot of thought I knew there had to be something different in her blog. I didn’t want there to be large video boxes throughout the entire her entire website so I thought small, widescreen, boxes would work best. When that widescreen box is pressed, instead of it loading the post, it fades out the background and plays the video on there on the site without the viewer doing nothing more but grab some popcorn and watch.  Her new blog can be seen by going to http://www.tfarrowfilms.com. I look forward working with Therese in the near future on more projects she has lined up.

If you are running a wordpress blog, or video blog, and need some updating, send me over a quote. While you at it, make sure to see what others are saying.
