Hampton Stone Coaching Live with CB&F!

Charles — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 04:32:11 +0000

Isabelle Hampton Stone’s new Coaching for Success website has gone live with Charles Buchwald & Friends… or rather, it’s been live for a bit now, and the client and we have finally tied it all together. Check out Isabelle’s site for an inspiring look at her varied, in-depth experience as a coach and trainer in a variety of disciplines.

I can’t take much credit for design, since the theme came from the outstanding http://elegantthemes.com. But please don’t think that getting up and running with WordPress is just a matter of finding good hosting and the right theme… it’s really worth spending some time on expert SEO, so your visitors can find you, and organizing your site so that it’s accessible and understandable.

Please do leave feedback here or at http://hamptonstonecoach.com as it’s much appreciated.

Ronald Wright: Live with CB&F!

No. 1 best selling author Ronald Wright has a new web site, RonaldWright.com, and he’s gone live with the help of Charles Buchwald & Friends.

By converting and updating a static, iWeb based site into a modern, user-editable and user-maintainable CMS based site, CB&F kept cost and time under control. The new site allows for easy updates, an RSS feed, tagged articles, and more fluid categorization, too.

Ronald is “a novelist, historian and essayist, he has won awards in all three genres and is published worldwide in sixteen languages. He is the author of nine books, including the 2004 CBC Massey Lectures, A Short History of Progress, which won the Libris Award for Nonfiction Book of the Year and is now in production as a documentary film.”

A very low bandwidth, customized theme makes for the fastest loading WordPress site we’ve ever designed and hosted. CSS sprites, amalgamated CSS and JS files, and intelligent layout make this one a speed demon.

Special search engine optimization (SEO) helps to ensure that this new site will make Ronald even easier to find on the web. A set of special plugins and routines focuses on the clearest and most meaningful content, and presenting that clearly and cleanly in the titles, meta data, page links, and other parts of the system.

We are honoured to be working with him!
