Client Feature – Hank Coleman

I just wrapped up a recent engagement with a new client and wanted to share the results with you.  Hank Coleman, a freelance writer, contacted me to tweak his Thesis based Hank Coleman website.  Hank asked me to:

• Add some flare to his sidebars by creating some nicer looking headers
• Style the main menu beyond the basic Thesis menu
• Add a widget enabled footer and style it to look a little nicer
• Assistance with creating a landing page that just contained the page content – no header, menu, sidebars or footer
• Add a sliding “featured posts” section above his content on the main page
• Resolve an alignment issue he had with his header graphic

Hank was a pleasure to work with and we worked through each of the items getting the site to where he wanted it.  I think the end result turned out great.  His site already looked good having a more default Thesis look to it.  With the few tweaks listed above though, I think it really pops.  I love the shades of blue used in his logo, and I used those to drive the colors for the other site elements.  We kept the overall theme of his original layout, but enhanced it giving it a more Web 2.0 and professional flavor.

So please head over, and check out Hank Coleman dot net.  If you need the services of a freelance writer, make sure you drop him a line.  You can see some examples of his work over on his writing portfolio page.
