Ever heard of a Middle Eastern client refusing to work with someone that has images of pork on their site? Well if you haven’t, we have at The Next Wave and we had to do something about it. After browsing a few different options, hostip.info seemed like the best service to go with. It’s 100%…
An Ongoing Post on How-to Optimize WordPress
This post contains tricks and tips on how I’ve optimized time while working with WordPress. Stop using bloginfo(‘something’)! Quit making unnecessary calls to your database. A lot of themes I’ve worked on over the years I see this: <a href=”<?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>” title=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></a> Another one I see a lot goes something…
City of Milford, Ohio (With Sund & Company)
The city of Milford came to Sund & Company for a redesign and a new way to manage content. Sarah Abla was in charge of the user experience and design, Mark Sund was the intermediary and project manager, and I was in control of the code. This was probably the most intensive WordPress site I’ve…
Innovative Modular (with Sund & Company)
Here’s another excellent site that I was a part of while at Sund & Company. From the planning (Mark Sund), to the original design (Sarah Abla), and through the development, it came out awesomely perfect.

Easy, Breezy jQuery Slideshow
I thought I would share my starting point for all slideshows that I create for clients and myself. There are a million good reasons to use a jQuery plugin, but none of them are the right ‘weight’. If you begin with your own code, you’re not going to be limited later on. Let’s start…
Brodie Graphics
Daniel Brodie is a freelance projection designer from New York that came in contact with me to help with some various fixes on his website. I quickly learned it was using a thematic child theme, which was the root cause of the site’s issues. I implemented a new gallery plugin (with a fair amount of…
Trinity Hydro Organics
Trinity Hydro Organics is a small business located in Dayton, Ohio. I met with the owner Jon Barker on several occasions to discuss progress and iterations. The theme built for the site is actually a child theme of Arras. The pages maintain the feel of the logo and the feel of their expert level customer service.
University of Kentucky Student Government Association
