The Right Baby Gear is a WordPress powered blog whose purpose is to review the latest and greatest in baby gear! Gotta get those babies outfitted up right! Looking for a super cute design, Michael approached E.Webscapes wanting something cute, but functional. We recently completed and launched their new, custom WordPress theme – and it IS cute!…

Wanting to incorporate a baby theme.. but not *too* baby.. and some soft colors, We created a theme in a gorgeous color scheme of blues, pinks, white and green:

The three-column CSS layout gives them plenty of room to display their blog archives, pages and links – - as well as their products, advertisements and sponsors. The design and layout turned out super cute, We did a fabulous job of bringing in all of the elements they were looking for, from a design standpoint, and functionality standpoint, as well.

We installed several bits of needed functionality for their site, including:

E-mail subscription: allowing readers to subscribe to The Right Baby Gear to receive e-mail updates every time they add new information
Social bookmarking – allowing the readers and site owners to easily submit their articles to several popular social bookmark sites like Digg, Technorati, Del.icio.us, etc
Recent Posts, Recent Comments, Archives, Categories and Blogroll listings
Adsense and sponsored advertising to monetize their blog

Michael was pretty thrilled:

Thanks for the great work and your patience in answering all of my questions.

BEST of luck with your new blog, Michael – we wish you nothing but success!

I’m reading the “Dummies” book and wondering if I can do my whole site with word press. WOW! You make it seem like a very impressive tool. Can’t wait to get started. Thanks.
