(Case Study of the project coming soon too!)
Daedalus Design LLC.
Longtime online friend and colleague Philip Herzegovitch’s Daedalus Design website had a display problem when his hosting company upgraded thier PHP and while that was rather easily fixed his existing website still wasn’t mobile friendly so I took the look and feel of his existing web design and converted it in a fully responsive WordPress Divi website, Elegant Themes Divi 
web builder tool being my particular choce of web theme building tools.
One change we made was since Philip likes to post on FaceBook we incorporated links to the latest 5 articles on his FaceBook feed (only two shown in this screenshot) and a map showing where he is located in the Danbury CT area.
Olson Real Estate Experts

The Chappaqua Drama Group
An Archive of Chappaqua Drama Group Programs & Photos from 45 Years of Great Community Theatre In Westchester County NY.
They had a clumsy and ugly frames based website and I set up this project website to introduce them to both CSS based web design and the WordPress platform as a CMS.
Patterson Builders-Remodelers, LLC
For Michael Patterson’s Patterson Builders-Remodelers, Llc. website for his remodeling practice down in Gaithersburg, MD we took colors from his old website design found via the Internet Archive: Wayback Machine and then built a compact new website using the WordPress Divi platform.

Kolbert Building
Dan Kolbert and his company Kolbert Building is an award winning energy efficient builder & remodeler in Portland Maine. He had an antique website (7 years old?) that ran on PHP5 but was incompatible with PHP6 and his host had gave him an ultimatum that he had 30 days to fix the code before they he would be put back on a server running the latest PHP 6. The obvious solution to us was to take his content and and basic design scheme and move it into a WordPress site with a design we were quickly able to build the Divi from from Elegant Themes. It took us about three days and that was while we were concurrently working on another website for a dog trainer (a Small Businness Systems Co. project).
There were a few new design touches we added to the site like the hero image on the home page and the original icons (created in Affinity Photo) and blurbs on their Projects page and other features like a blog. But we now (as of May 9th 2017) have an excellent CMS (content management system) in place and solid design to move forward with into the future.
Paradigm Building & Remodeling
ParadigmProjects.com is the site we have produced for the contracting operation that originally gave birth to Paradigm-360.com.
We recently remodeled it as a WordPress Content Management System using yet another different WordPress theme framework to create another distinctly different look and type of CMS website.
Northeastern Homes
NortheasternHomes.com, an interactive web site we’ve produced to provide homeowners in Westchester County NY and Fairfield County CT with projects ideas and a comprehensive list of local remodeling and home improvement resources.
The content is designed to stimulate ideas and address a variety of topics related to gardening, landscaping, building, architecture, remodeling and interior design.
The Building & Remodeling Business and Project Management Wiki
To the best of my recollection now back in 2007 I got into some pretty intense debates with some other builders, remodelers and trade contractors online in the old Journal of Light Construction forum about the definitions and difference (which is very important to understand) between the terms Effort and Duration when you are talking about Project Management. For years I had compiled a glossary of project management terms on this website and but around that time I really started to get seriously interested in developing one “go to” source for that kind of information. That page eventually became the biggest page on the whole website so in 2014 I took all the information from that page and set it up on it own site as The Building & Remodeling Business & Project Management Wiki.

Older Legacy Projects…
Scott Hall Remodeling
We’ve produced the web site for ScottHallRemodeling.com with a theme modified by Jerrald Hayes using WordPress as the base CMS (Content Management System) and the SimplePress theme from Elegant Themes as a design framework.
We have made several modifications to the overall look of the origional theme but the theme’s underlying architecture remains the same when you compare the SimplePress theme to the look we ended up producing.
We also deployed the WordPress plugins NextGEN Gallery and All in One SEO Pack and then trained our client Scott in their use and now along with his great photography he’s built several photo galleries (Bathroom Remodeling Photo Gallery) and has positioned himself in top positions for long tail keyword combinations and even now for short tail keyword searches too.
Plesae take a look at my blog article about An Approach To Displaying Project Pricing… for alook at what I think is a great webdesign pattern for displaying project pricing from all the way back in 2012.

Clifford Renovations & Restorations
Is the home of Andy Clifford’s boutique Clifford Renovations & Restorations company. A small company specializing in restoration projects for older homes.
For 2010 we remodeled the original table based design we did in 2006 for Andy and switched it over to a CSS based Content Management built on the WordPress platform. The new Clifford Renovations & Restorations or CliffordRenovations.com website was developed with the same look and feel of the original but it now has a blog seamlessly integrated right into and content can be very easily revised or added by Andy without our assistance.
The blog portion of this site we decided to call not “The Blog” but Andy’s Notebook.

Flathead Construction Solutions
Thinking for a while that the WordPress blogging tool (WordPress.org) along with the right design and programming tweaks could be effectively used as a small business Content Management System (CMS) with one of our consulting clients Flathead Construction Solutions of Kallispell Montana we found that perfect opportunity.
Kid Cartoonists
Not a Home & Garden Industry Web Site at all but a good example nonetheless of using blog software (in this case WordPress) as a content management system.
KidCartoonists.com 
is cartoonist Bob Weber Jr.’s place on the web for aspiring young cartoon artists to post and display their work to the world. We redesigned the site to accommodate commerce (added an Amazon Store) and ad revenue.
