Internet Marketing Chesapeake is an exciting and fresh company focusing on implementing cutting edge new media marketing solutions for the small business owner.  They understand that prospective customers aren’t turning to a phone book, newspaper or even the Yellow Pages to find your business.  They’re more than likely turning to Google and that’s where Internet Marketing Chesapeake comes in.  They’re experts at getting local businesses to show up on the first page of Google.

Jerry, one of the principals at Internet Marketing Chesapeake, approached me late last year to help tweak the website for his new business initiative.  He had installed WordPress and the Super Clean theme but was challenged by the nature of the theme.  Some themes are easier to work with than others and the Super Clean theme, though completely customizable, is a theme that requires most of the customizations to be done via CSS and through the appearance editor rather than through a custom menu in the dashboard.

That’s where I came in.

Super Clean Theme Customizations

As Internet Marketing Chesapeake had already selected a domain name and website host and had already installed WordPress, the only thing left to do was to customize the theme and populate the site with their content.  The homepage for this theme allowed for rotating images so we worked together to replace the stock images that came with the Super Clean theme.  Unlike some other WordPress themes, where the homepage content is built through a WordPress page, the Super Clean theme required that the content be built through the index.php.

I worked with Jerry to populate the main sections of the new site and helped him integrate his aWeber opt-in form and recommended the cForms plugin for his contact forms.  Once the site was built, we met for a one-on-one training session so that I could show him how to maintain the different areas of his new site that required modifications to the php files or the CSS files.  The training session was recorded so that Jerry could return to it the next time he needed to modify his home page.
