Ohm Sweet Ohm : WordPress Site Design

Custom Blog Design

Mary came to E. Webscapes looking to create a fun website, Ohm Sweet Ohm, to advertise short term and vacation rentals to potential tenants who visit Asheville, NC from out of town.

Not only did Mary want the look of the website to be cute and whimsical, but she also wanted to emphasize the history of the cabins. Though renovated, the cabins are vintage, and one of Mary’s top priorities was a way to document this in an effective manner, especially since this factor is what makes these log cabins unique. Specifically, the challenge as our client saw things was “to make the site have a vintage flair but still be clean, professional, and give people the feeling that they’ll be in a well-equipped and renovated cabin.”

We were able to capture this look through the use of natural colors, a fun stitched pattern for accents, a cute header graphic, and the beautiful photos that Mary provided from the gorgeous mountains in Asheville.

We incorporated the WordPress LighBox plugin into the pages that show detailed photographs about each of the cabins, allowing for users to really get a good look at what these cabins are like. Lisa also used posts so that Mary can update the “Asheville Happenings” section of the website and fully utilize the SEO-friendly structure inherent to WordPress.

Just looking at these pictures is making me want to take a nice little vacation myself! Mary, thanks for coming to E. Webscapes and giving us the chance to work with such beautiful photographs!
