There were a couple plugins, but I didn’t want to use them; it’s generally accepted that the fastest way to work with an optimized application like WordPress is to use it’s built-in functions.

I also wanted to have the testimonials as a category in WP, rather than as a separate plugin. This code will work for any type of category, not just a testimonial.

Real Results from a Website Redesign

February 13, 2008 · No Comments

As I previously mentioned, I recently redesigned the Ignite Matchmaking website. I spoke with the site’s owner yesterday, and she told me she was overwhelmed with new business because of her website.

Since Katz Web Design redesigned my site, I’m completely overwhelmed with leads. I have 11 from last Thursday and Friday, and then I have 11 from just this week (Monday and Tuesday), and those are only the people who fill out the contact form on the website!

Before the site was redesigned, the site was getting 2 emails a week. Now I’m overwhelmed with the number of qualified leads I’ve been getting!

It’s always good to hear from my web design clients that what I’ve done with their website has dramatically affected their business.
