The Green Familia, A Website Which Can Seriously Improve Your Mojo!

Over the summer months we've had the pleasure to redesign and develop a superb 'light green shopping blog' called The Green Familia, which is packed with articles and information on living a greener lifestyle. TGF showcases the best green and organic products available on the market and teaches potential new greenies (like us) how to make better green lifestyle choices. We've packed in as many features we could think of including: ad buttons to monetize the blog (along with Google ad code), links to Facebook and Twitter, readers ratings, a poll feature, tabular widgets maximising the site's key reading areas, animated tag clouds, video reviews, plus lots of bespoke graphics. If this website was a drink it would certainly be an energizing zinger, packed full of goodness and definitely making you feel better! Enjoy! Visit thegreenfamilia.co.uk.

Making the World More Beautiful! Great Skincare and WordPress!


Julia Hart is passionate about skincare and teaching people how to achieve and maintain youthful and healthy skin. After the launch of her online skincare shop last year she started to maintain a basic blog, but it soon became apparent this girl needed a more substantial method to upload her information and advice on skincare, plus to act as a driver to her online shop and products.

At the same time we were becoming more aware that Wordpress could provide an affordable way to upload text and imagery, to build and grow full-featured websites that could be updated by the website owner - or maintained by us - with lots of scope for our clients to grow and build their website and online business, phase by phase.

First steps were to find a Wordpress specialist (believe me, setting up a properly functioning Wordpress site is not as simple as ABC) and we came across the wonderful Laura of WPbyDesign - a U.S.-based self confessed 'code-tweaker' (not an illegal activity!) - and 'kick-ass-chica'! What's great about Laura is that as designers we could design the site and then Laura could tell us how we would get it to work - finding plug-ins and solutions and improvements to our requests (thanks Laura :)).

During the research process we discovered we could buy (for a licence fee) 'Wordpress themes' - via a company called Studiopress - and these provided the foundation of the website. So we bought the licence.

Next, we customised and designed the website, applying Julia's brand (we designed this last year) and making it compatible with the existing online skincare shop - so both her 'blog' and 'home page' (the Wordpress site) and her 'online shop' (built by secure online shopping specialists SEM Solutions) would co-exist harmoniously.

Julia has superb style, she delivered a design brief that was a dream to work on - and with her brilliant editorial content, superb knowledge about skin and the best, professionally chosen skincare products on the market, we've a website that all involved with are extremely proud of!

The icing on the cake is that Studiopress have recognised our combined efforts by including Julia Hart's website on the Studiopress Showcase.

For anyone interested in the Wordpress approach to developing and/or building on a new or existing website then please contact us for more information. We're currently developing a further 4 Wordpress oriented websites which should come online over the next few weeks. Make sure you read our blog to view the latest news.

Footy Fans Focus on All Things Football!

We've had great fun this week building a one page website and blog for one of football's most staunchest of fans, whose intention is to give a fans view on the events after a football match.

The website is supported by numerous live feeds including content from its own supporting blog and widget and feeds from favourite football blogs including BBC Sport Football Blog, TalkFootball and SoccerLens. Google tools including a Picassa Web Album, providing rollover slideshows, Analytics and YouTube plus a social bookmarking utility should ensure further development of the site.

Be Inspired! How an Ordinary Girl Without Much Money Becomes a Worldwide Success ... Listen and Learn!


Lauren Luke from South Shields is a worldwide sensation on YouTube. Originally, Lauren started selling eye-make-up products on Ebay and instead of taking photos of the products she took pictures of them on her eyes, to show how they were applied. She says video demonstrations were a natural progression and started making video tutorials and hosting them on YouTube in June 2007. She currently has in the region of 200 video tutorials on YouTube, demonstrating make-up styles of celebrities such as Amy Winehouse, Leona Lewis and Katy Perry. Her Leona Lewis inspired video has been viewed more than 2 million times.

In May 2008, the BBC made a documentary about Lauren and added the video to YouTube ... since being uploaded it has become the BBC's most viewed video on YouTube, having been watched more than 2 million times.




In October 2008 Lauren went down to London as a guest of YouTube and met the Queen, who asked her what she did on the site and where she was from. Lauren said it was a great experience and that the Queen has "better skin than me". Since then she's been to New York three times – her first time abroad – to develop the products, for her own make-up line, which will be launched in March 2009. And she's also the subject of a BBC3 documentary due to be aired early in 2009. As Lauren's fame spreads, her potential grows to join the ranks of the new generation of internet based entrepreneurs. Where it will lead and how much she'll be able to build on her success so far remains to be seen, but one thing for certain, she has certainly been a front runner in capturing the power of promoting yourself/your business on social networking website, and all for very little if no money.
