I love helping clients sites online.  I especially love helping clients find different ways of communicating with the people they’re here to serve.  When you work with me, you’ll find that I’m not just here to build your WordPress site… I also help you understand how to use tools like Twitter and Facebook to help connect with your audience and often share tips that have worked for other clients if I see that they fit with your business.

BT Basketball Upgrades To WordPress

Meet Brian Thomas. Brian is passionate about basketball and excited to nurture a passion for the game in guys and girls of all ages.  BT Basketball is dedicated to helping young people improve their skills, learn the game, and, most importantly, love the game of basketball.

Brian has been blogging since the Fall of 2010 on a Blogspot site.  As his business grew (and his audience grew with him), he realized the benefits of having a WordPress site hosted on his own domain.

Blogspot to WordPress Conversion

Exporting a Blogspot site to WordPress is a relatively painless process.  WordPress has a great tool to facilitate the conversion of other blogging platforms to the WordPress format.  The fun work came in designing a template to showcase the fantastic work that Brian is doing with his basketball clinics and events.

We worked together to select images to showcase on his site and I designed a theme that is reminiscent of the photos we all used to display as teens in our lockers or on a mirror or bulletin board at home.  We also added a photo gallery to share images from past Basketball Clinics.

I also worked with Brian and shared some tips on Twitter and Facebook and integrated these services into his blog site to enable automatic posting of blog content to both social networking sites.

The Support Doesn’t End When The Project Is Finished

After the project was complete, Brian e-mailed to ask about WordPress commenting and I shared some strategies to help encourage commenting and conversation and even installed the DISCUS commenting plugin to help keep the conversation going.
