WordPress Web Design: Four New Genesis WordPress Sites Live

Sacramento WordPress Website Design

With business events, entrepreneurial conferences, software conferences, our local Sacramento WordPress Meetup group, and a few WordCamps, Brian and I have been traveling a lot the past few months. Then when you throw in all our normal client work, and running our own business, things get a little crazy and the hours behind our computers get a little long.

Luckily we LOVE what we do — and we LOVE the Internet.

In the past four weeks, we have taken four different Genesis WordPress sites live — Cool right?! Here they are:

Genesis SEO Settings Guide

WordPress Genesis SEO GuideAt Bourn Creative, we build our custom designed WordPress websites exclusively on the Genesis Framework by StudioPress.

The reasons behind our choice to develop our custom themes on the Genesis Framework are numerous, but a few we often highlight are that the Genesis Framework is very flexible/customizable, coded extremely well, and has been built with SEO as a priority (SEO — the art and science of being found online through organic search).

After all, a beautifully designed website means nothing if consumers and search engines can’t find you.

Genesis already has most SEO requirements built into the framework. As a result, a separate WordPress SEO plugin isn’t necessary, which means one less plugin to manage, and keep updated.

Success Story: Horizons Developmental Resource Center Custom WordPress Website

Horizons Developmental Resource Center

Nicole Beurkens, founder of Horizons Developmental Resource Center, hired Bourn Creative to create a more dynamic and user-friendly website for the practice. Her site www.horizonsdrc.com was already a WordPress site, so we were hired to design a new custom WordPress theme and reorganize the content and flow of the website.

The StudioPress Showcase & Doughnuts = Balance for the Bourn Family

Red Haute MamaFor the past two weeks, I’ve barely come up for air, and I’ve seriously neglected my social networks!

We completed 17 technical print brochures for one client, took three new WordPress sites live, created an entire set of event materials, including two 70+ page workbooks, designed two logos, designed an information product, launched a complete micro site for a large teleseminar series, and more!

The good news is that while every project doesn’t make it into our portfolio, I’ve finally updated it with some of our recent projects.

I invite you to check out some of our most recent design work here: www.bourncreative.com/design-portfolio

I’m also such a proud mama! Several of our recent Genesis WordPress theme customizations have made it into the StudioPress Showcase!
