Heliotrope Holistic Health

Yael Reinhardt-Matsliah — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 05:59:32 +0000

Dr. Shoshana Savyon was too busy healing folks to invest in getting a website. But she finally saw the value in getting online and being able to share her knowledge with a much wider audience.

Since Shoshana wanted to add regular posts and articles to the site, we decided to use WordPress as the engine of her site.

I created a custom theme that reflects the heart and energy of Heliotrope Holistic Health Services and taught Shoshana how to add all her wonderful and inspiring material.

With only a few hours of instruction and some educational screencasts, she’s now a happy blogger and is continuing to learn her way around WordPress.

Praxis, EFT with Lynne Shaner

Yael Reinhardt-Matsliah — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 16:46:38 +0000

A small site designed for Lynne Shaner, an EFT practitioner in Washington, DC, who specializes in stress/anxiety, PTSD, corporate/personal success, and pain management. Clean, elegant, minimalist design with very light content management system.

Lynne, as many of my clients, started off with a DIY (do it yourself) solution but quickly realized that she was unable to create the professional, clean, and elegant design that she desired.

We worked together to create an elegant design that is both functional and beautiful. Site also has a simple, lightweight Content Management System (CMS), so that Lynne can maintain the site content.

TLC Bookkeeping

Yael Reinhardt-Matsliah — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 08:30:08 +0000

A brochure site for a small bookkeeping service in Texas. Dolly offers bookkeeping services to local farmers, ranchers, and small businesses, and needed a way to share about her services when she met people and prospective clients.

What better way to convey TLC than by a heart! This design was easy to create for Dolly, as she really loves both her work and her clients.

I installed a very lightweight content management system – that took all of about 30 minutes to explain – so she can easily update the site when needed.

EFT with Deborah

Deborah Donndelinger is a very gifted EFT practitioner. She brings a wealth of knowledge and several healing modalities into her work, and therefore offers a lot of resources on her website.

She created her first site with an online service that offered ready made templates and did a great job with the resources she had available.

But her site content quickly outgrew the limited options she had for organizing her site. She needed an expanded menu system to make her site more accessible, and she wanted a custom design to reflect her work and energy.

We worked together to create a layout that is both functional and beautiful. We used Joomla as the engine of her site, as she needed a robust Content Management System (CMS) to manage and organize her site content. This gives her the ability to manage almost all aspects of her site, and Joomla plugins ensure that needed additional functionality in the future is available. This means her site and the engine behind the site can grow as her practice grows.
