Hey Now, I am very happy to present a new custom WordPress theme – Free to try Offers. Tim said:

Looks awesome! – You’ve really outdone yourself this time. It’s looking beautiful.

I am happy with the way that it is turning out as well – it’s fun creating a funky theme for a good site, and it is always awesome when everyone is happy with the result.

Got this from a client today – this kinda thing always brightens up my day:

JTk developed and installed a high quality WordPress theme for our association. He worked for a fair price and in a timely manner. We are most pleased with his communication skills. A+…we’ll be going back again!

Yes – you can use your WordPress powered site to sell products! I’ve have done WordPress + ecom for a number of years but the tools out there that allow this type of integration just keep getting slicker – case in point the new IDT Collectibles site.

IDT has been using WordPress for years to blog about all of the cool new stuff they get in the shop, but recently they decided to take it to a new level and offer some selected products for sale. They are very happy with the results as was I.

I finished up a design and custom WordPress theme for Lindis Courtney over the weekend. I think I got very close to the look she was going for and that her custom theme turned out successfully. She obviously agrees – this is what she said:

Thank you so much! Now I know about widgets too.

You are a good man, James Kendall. I will be back for more projects and
tell all my fellow life coaching friends about you.

Thank you Lindis, great clients make great projects much easier.

Here is a project that I did not blog about when I created it initially a few months back, but since I was doing some major modifications I thought that I would give it some link juice.

Tigers & Magpies brings you Korean travel reports and photos so that you can learn a little bit more about the Korean peninsula.

I revisited this project recently and added some custom views to a pair of categories and filtered those categories from the from page as well as cleaning up some odds and ends. Addendum: Evidently Eddie is happy with the results as well – see his comment here.

I have been truly blessed to have such great clients over the years – none better then Mr. Modene a Realtor from Ohio.

He blogs over at perrysburgblog.com and it’s always a great read whether or not you care about Ohio real estate.

John and I are working on a couple of cool real estate video WordPress / Tubepress powered sites that I’ll post once they are ready for the world.

If you are looking for information about Ohio real estate, or are interested in getting an insight about how the post housing bubble looks to a man with his finger on the pulse of a particular housing market – please do click out to one on Jon’s sites, you will not be disappointed.

Thanks Jon for making my job so easy by knowing what you want and communicating your ideas clearly so that I can implement them for you.

I often get thank you’s from custom WordPress development clients, and even sometimes testimonials, but Steve Congdon from Thunderclap Consulting Group took it to a whole other level. I received the box of sparkling wine, thank you.

You, good sir, have style.

Brent Rangen sent me this today:

When it comes to custom wordpress designs, JTk is the way to go. James does an outstanding job at exceeding my expectations every time and doing so in a timely manner. I have used JTk designs on my last three sites and plan to continue to do so for all my designs in the future.

Thanks Brent – you are awesome to work with too.

I am having server issues this morning, I may have missing email, etc – too early to tell what is going on yet. Don’t be afraid to email me again – or google chat thisisjtk@gmail.com

Usually I post about completed Custom WordPress theme’s and the happy clients that commissioned them, but today I have to share some of the feedback I have gotten from clients about design’s that I have sent out of the past couple of weeks:

Brent Rangen had this to say about the design for his WordPress project:

Wow!! My only thought is that I should be having you do all of my sites! Very clean look, nice layout, and last but not least – right on time! Thanks so much! Incredible James. You are very talented.

Steve over at hathead had this to say about the design I sent him:
Love it – I love the layout and overall look. Slam dunk. Rock and roll……very, very well done.

Ben, from the upcoming lifeinsuranceguarantee.com, said this about the new design for his site:

The template looks amazing. Damn, you do good work! It looks better than I was imagining in my head. I had some doubts to be sure, mainly because design or even assisting in critique is not my forte’. But you came through. You gave life to my stick figures! Thanks again, it looks GREAT.
