Back in 1999, I helped Dr. Thomas Naughton launch his first website to accompany his new Medicoloegal Consulting business, Abbygrey West Consulting. A busy Family Practice physician for over 15 years, Dr. Naughton thought he would take a leap and try his hand at self-employment and put some of his knowledge and expertise into some legal consulting to see how it would fly. It flew… indeed. 8 years later, I’ve re-launched his new look and format and brought him up to date by using WordPress to power his website. . .
Have a look at his old web site design, circa. 1999 - - it’s a testament to the style of those times, as well as speaking loudly on how my own website design abilities have changed in terms of skill, expeirence asthetics and overall improvement:
All in all, not a bad design for 8 years ago. It was a Dreamweaver special, not only done in tables - - but nested tables at that with a WHOLE lot of inline styling and very very little CSS, if any at all.
His new website design is a 100% CSS based design with a cleaner look, providing a very consice and very focused look into his services, experience and practice.
Dr. Naughton wished to have a very clean and professional look that put the focus more on his content, rather than on the design. While he wanted the site to be visually fresh and clean - he did not want it to distract from the topic at hand. I believe I accomplished that through the use of a newspaper style layout done with a neutral color scheme of grey, black and white.
I think he will be extremely pleased with the perfomance of his website, not only in visual appeal - but in SEO results, rankings and overall visitor satisfaction. Abbygrey West Consulting has been hosted with us, through our hosting division at Blogs About Hosting since 1999 and has been very pleased with our hosting services. I’ve mentioned, in the past, on this blog how convienent it is to have a designer who also has full administrative access to the server your site is hosted on - - not only is access extremely easy for those ‘quick fixes’ - but set up and configuration goes very smoothly. Because I own the hosting services at Blogs About Hosting - you can also guarentee that myself, and our technicians, are extremely well versed in the workings of WordPress and are able to provide support for use of the program that you may not find elsewhere.
I completed the design on Abbygrey West Consulting this week and, so far, Dr. Naughton is thrilled. Like any typical doctor - he would rather not have to worry about tinkering around inside the guts and code of a website - - he just ‘wants it to work’ - - combine my experience and skills with the program, and the ease of use that is inherent to the WordPress platform… Dr. Naughton has a golden setup!
I also designed and printed 500 business cards for him that match his new website design:
I am thrilled to still be providing web development services for him over the past 8 years - - Dr. Naughton was actually my very first paying client!
