www.filesharingguides.com

www.filesharingguides.com is a fairly basic blog/guide based website focused on technical tutorials for advanced file sharing services such as Usenet automation with programs like NZBDrone and the usage of VPNs and Seedboxes.

The site uses a basic magazine style blog template, and quite admittedly, doesn’t have a ton of customizations under the hood. The theme I used for this site was already basicly perfect and I am mostly focusing on content creation and perfecting my SEO abilities.

Site Features:

• Fully responsive design
• Heavy content based focus
• Eventual plan to link in Usenet and Seedbox affiliate plans if I get enough traffic

wallpaper.digitalfreeloader.com

wallpaper.digitalfreeloader.com is a continuation of my “Digital Freeloader” brand in which my end goal was to create a number of different themed image-focused sites. However, the site receives fairly low traffic and the project will likely not be pushed.

Although the design/look of this site is mostly credited to theme developers I did quite a bit of back end modifications to simplify content creation and maintenance. The theme itself would require a person to load each image 1 by 1, creating a portfolio page and attaching the image to it and configuring the appropriate settings. I got into some heavy scripting here and made it so that I can just name and categorize the images and then upload them in bulk. The portfolios get created automatically and a settings template gets applied across the board.

The site also features a time release mechanism created by me which lets me upload a few hundred images and have them release over the course of a few months, to help drive SEO scores for new content vs old content.

Site Features:

• Fully responsive design
• Heavily scripted automations for content creation
• Scripted release of “articles” to website over time

digitalfreeloader.com

www.digitalfreeloader.com is a website dedicated to tracking free and sales media content. There are sub sections for Gaming, Books and Music. This site is primarily my experimentation with dynamic feed driven content, in which the website is constantly scanning sources for new free release media and game sales and updating the website with the information.

Other Site Features:

• Fully responsive design
• RSS driven content / auto-blogging to alert users of sales quickly
• Twitter auto post feature to relay sales to Twitter feed

 

 

GNUTomorrow.com

GNUTomorrow.com is the second WordPress site I have developed and is part of an ongoing series of sites built for professional development purposes. While the site was mostly built for skills development, it is also my first attempt at building a serious, content driven and community enriched site. My goals are to learn and sharpen my SEO skills and learn how to generate organic traffic.

This site was built from WooThemes “Freemium” theme Swatch. The site however has gone under some serious refactoring, and has been rebuilt from the ground up on the Bootstrap framework into a 100% responsive design (the site adjusts its layout to fit your phone or tablet).

Other Site Features:

• Social Network single sign-on for Forum and Comments
• bbPress forum integration
• Re-skinned wordpress login/registration/etc pages
• Fully responsive design with max at 1200 wide instead of typical 960

 
 
krimsonstudios.com is the first “modern” website I have built, and is the first in a series of CMS driven sites I will be building in the next while. I decided to tackle this long overdue project of pulling the past 10-15 years worth of computer projects / music / artwork together as a professional development exercise to prepare for a new position.

This site has been built in WordPress and is based on the Cazuela theme by ThematoSoup. The theme has been heavily customized to suit my needs and there is a fair bit of custom coding.

Features
• Fully responsive web design! This website will adjust to display on tablets and cellphones without requiring additional themes
• Pinterest style portfolio pages for music and other content pages
• Image gallery implementation for viewing ANSI gallery and other areas of page
• Custom logo and most graphics custom done
