JenTekk Blog

Many clients have been asking me what I’ve been up to this spring, as they’ve not seen a lot of action in JenTekk’s portfolio.

Along with assisting Vancouver Community College Library with a new look for the home page content, and developing Sustainable Cities’ home page and Youth-Led pages, here are 3 projects I am currently working on.

Kids Summer Reading Club 2009

We have had the privilege and pleasure of developing the Kids Summer Reading Club’s website for 4 years in a row. The annual Reading Club is sponsored by the BC Library’s Association, along with BC’s local Libraries and the Royal Bank of Canada.

JenTekk is pleased to announce the recent launch of yet another pet project: cafeyogi.com

I first tried Bikram Hot Yoga on June 25th, 2008 at the Bikram Richmond Studio. I”ll never forget my first class – it was challenging! Between the heat, the postures, and my own demons – it was the longest 90 minutes in history for me.

Design Tech Hair Studio is a very successful Hair Salon in Richmond. Its original design (built by JenTekk in 2003) reflected the salon’s brand back then.

Built for 800 x 600 screen resolution, static pages, and in basic HTML (no CSS) it was time to upgrade in a big way and move Design Tech Hair Studio into a Content Management System. We chose WordPress, as the customer’s needs were basic.

After…

Solution: a sexy and clean WordPress (customized template) CMS website – reflecting the salon’s new brand, colors and attitude.

All the best Grace and Yumi. It was a pleasure to assist you with your website make-over!

Its Friday afternoon and I’m just chomping at the bit to announce the official launch of the Sterling Fleet Outfitters website.

Joomla! 1.5 CMS

Sterling needed to be able to update the website themselves, and to be able to upload documents (pdf files) in order to showcase the products they offered. They also wanted to be able to post News items that would automatically archive. In addition, they wished to have an online form so their clients could contact them via email without disclosing their address online to would-be spammers… smart.

I couldn’t think of a better solution than Joomla! 1.5 CMS. Joomla provides all the usability features Sterling required and much more! They agreed on the product, and the rest is, as they say – history!

We can see the Joomla themed template design is simple & clean. It is very reflective if their brand (blue, white, grey) with colorful content being the focal point of the page. It is very easy to navigate – as their clients range from the not-so-internet savvy to very savvy.

Thanks to my business associate and friend Rastin Mehr at rmdStudio.com for setting up Joomla! 1.5 CMS on Sterling’s server/hosting account.

Congratulations Sterling on your new internet presence! I’ll see you next week for Joomla training! It was truly a delight to work with you – I wish you much success in all your endeavors!

Before…

Previous design was warm and inviting, however the church had undergone big changes and wished to portray a fresh new look.

After…

With bright blues, the yellow sun, and city scape, the new design feels fresh and energetic.
