Before & After: e-Wire Magazine

October 16th, 2009

August 28th, I received an email from BC Academic Health Council asking if I was interested in creating a magazine website for e-HLbc – Electronic Health Library of BC. This was to be another one of the many initiatives of the BCAHC.

When I heard that they were interested in using Joomla 1.5 CMS – naturally I said yes!

Before – preliminary mock-up

Attached was a preliminary design…

Help Support “Tweet to Remember”

August 28th, 2009

I first met Michael-James Pennie at a Tazzu networking even a few years back. I know him as a remarkable, upbeat and positive man.

What I didn’t know about him was that his family has been coping with a debilitating disease that has afflicted his father, Jim, over the past several years.

Back in 2003, Jim, was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease.

JenTekk launches the Kids SRC ‘09 Website

June 12th, 2009

JenTekk is pleased to announce the launch of the Kids Summer Reading Club (SRC) 2009 website today!

I am honored to have been invited yet again (my fourth year) to assist with the Kids SRC program.

Kids Summer Reading Club (SRC) 2009

The Kids SRC is designed to get children reading, with the use of a fun theme, posters, stickers, a reading record, bookmarks, completion medals, and novelty items. In addition each year they have a new designed website: Kids SRC 2009 which offers 7 quizzes (1 for each week of the program) word puzzles, and fun games.

Interestingly enough, some of the kids that participate in the Kids SRC are children of my own friends! That certainly makes it pretty exciting.

As I’d mentioned, this the the fourth year in assisting with the program. You may view the 3 previous website designs by JenTekk below…

Before & After: Fairlawn Labradors

May 27th, 2009

Donna from Fairlawn Labradors had many compliments on her first website with JenTekk, created sometime back in 2003.

Technology has come a long way since then – thank goodness! When I offered Donna an opportunity to convert her static website to a WordPress CMS website – explaining that she would be able to update it herself at her own leisure her eyes lit up.

Photos of Fairlawn’s dogs and puppies were important to Donna’s marketing strategy, so we added a WordPress plugin called NextGen Gallery – a simple, easy to use photo album/gallery generator.

We also took the opportunity to give Fairlawn’s Website a fresh new look, so first…
