If you’re located in the New Jersey area, you may already be familiar with a pet store called Jake’s Dog House, who supplies pet toys and unique, specialty items for your pet in their stores. You can also purchase these items from their existing E-Commerce store, online, at Jake’s Dog House. Jon Stein, the owner of Jake’s Dog House, decided he wanted a blog to compliment their existing online identity – I had great fun designing and setting up their new WordPress powered blog at Jake’s Dog Blog...

Within the Jake’s Dog House corporate offices, I started from square one with a great deal of personality to begin with. “Jake” is their mascot, and you can see him throughout the blog design at the top of the blog, directing your search, in the comments and in the footer of the site.

This design was a custom designed WordPress theme deployment with a few added touches to give them the functionality they wanted with the blog. They have several authors who will be writing on the site, so I created a small author profile at the bottom of each post that includes an icon/image of the author and a small bio about the author, so their readers are oriented about who wrote the post.

The folks at Jake’s Dog Blog also required a WordPress hosting solution, which we were able to provide for them through our services at Blogs About Hosting – - as a result of being one of our hosting clients, they recieved a 10% discount on our design services. Bonus!

The team at Jake’s Dog Blog were just estatic with how the project turned out. They have a fully functional WordPress blog that sports a design in keeping with their creative branding, already in place. If you’ve ever been to a Jake’s Dog House establishment, you’ll recognize the dog house roof from the blog – - it’s almost the same as the one you walk through to get to the checkout counter! I’m really happy to have had the opportunity to help them further their online identity through the creation of a custom blog for them.
