Kesha, from Chocolate Brides came to us looking for a super slick, polished and gorgeous looking web site for her bridal and wedding themed site. Choosing to power it using WordPress, we discussed the different features available to make her site really shine, and keep her brides, and potential brides, coming back for more!. Custom designed in WordPress – Kesha’s site at Chocolate Bride’s is a beautiful example of how WordPress can be gorgeous!

Kesha’s web site is focused on the African American woman, ages 25-55 who are going through, or about to go through, the bridal and wedding planning experience. Her chosen color scheme included chocolate brown, gold and caramel — and she wanted it all wrapped up in an elegant, sophisticated web site that would present her content, helpful articles and resources to her readers in a easy to navigate fashion. We implemented the popular featured content scroller on the front page to enable Kesha to put an emphasis on those articles that she feels are extra special. We also created a beautiful 2-column layout that gives her ample space for both her content, and her navigation structure and advertising and monetization opportunities. As an extra added special touch, given the name of the web site, we found some crazy cute social media buttons from Zeusbox Studio that look extremely edible in all their chocolate glory! Kesha wanted her site to look rich and chocolatey – and I have to say, it turned out simply scrumptious! |
