Nik Payton came to E.Webscapes with his clarinet and a vision. Illustrator Samantha Wise created a top-notch illustration, and We put it to good use in an outstanding custom blog design using WordPress! This swing jazz artist wanted something a little retro, so We spruced up his design with bits of graphics that are fun and funky but still clean and conservative.
He completely customized the main template to show a grid of post excerpts beside Nik’s photos, recently played tracks on Last.fm, gigs, posts and comments. He tidied up the footer with four columns to sort out Archives, Categories, Social networks and even a blogroll.
Great! It looks superb. This is exactly what I was after. Knockout job!!!!
Nik was pretty excited about his design, and so are we! Thanks, Nik!
