E.Webscapes Blog Design Studio - custom designs for Wordpress, Movable Type, Typepad, Expression Engine and more!

Brandon runs an online magazine that he hopes to take to print in a few months. To accomplish that, he needed a site up and running to showcase his writing and video coverage of events, articles and telephone interviews, music reviews, as well as have room for a couple other writers to blog or add articles. We recently completed the custom design for his site at Vivid N Urban Magazine, powered by WordPress.

The front page of the site is set up, cleanly, in a four-column layout to display several headlines from the multiple categories they have set up within their WordPress blog, as well as videos and other content. Once you click through on any of the headlines, you’re presented with a nicely structured 2 column layout that gives them ample space to display their content, links and advertiser information.

We also helped Brandon integrate social media into his site by adding Facebook, Del.icio.us and Subscription options that helps him retain, and grow, his audience. We also added in additional bits of functionality that will help him grow traffic through SEO Optimization, Google Sitemaps, social media sharing and Feedburner RSS handling.

Brandon was an extremely appreciative client and very happy with the results of his site design and structure. We wish him the best of luck with his site and can’t wait for the time when the magazine is in print form!
