Jonn, from This Ain’t Hell came to us looking for a custom design for his WordPress blog and described his design needs as.. “my perfect day, is a day in the tropics spent in the sun with a big cigar and a bottle of rum – and a book”.. We went to work and completed Jonn’s design project…

We developed a very clean 3-column layout for Jonn’s WordPress theme – complete with a nice, soothing ‘day at the beach’ color scheme of tropical blues and greens, with a bit of sand thrown in there for good measure:

This Ain't Hell

Jonn is a former member of the US Armed Forces and spends his time, now, working as an editor and writer in Washington, DC. This Ain’t Hell is his personal blog where he writes about politics and life. His Bio page shows that he keeps some pretty impressive company out there in D.C.

He was also pretty pleased with We’s work on his design project:

I’m pleased. Thanks for your work – you can see I’ve given you and the company a recommendation in my first post yesterday. If I ever need your services again, I know where to find you – good luck!

We’ll be right here should you need our services again, Jonn – - good luck to you, as well!

    I’ll just add that I’ve received countless compliments from my readers and my fellow bloggers on the new blog. Dino did a wonderful job and I don’t hesitate to recommend eWebscapes to everyone who asks me.

    My traffic has picked up noticeably, and, more importantly, people are staying longer and reading deeper into the blog than ever before. In fact, my depth traffic increased threefold from the very first day the new design went active.

    Dino was patient and persistent to make sure I liked the blog design and function before he left me to own devices. I can’t imagine ever using another web design service besides eWebscapes.
