Fortune Cookies With Attitude

Rarely do I have fun doing something useless, but this is an exception. Not much to say about what you’re about to lay your eyes on, something I read over at QuadsZilla’s blog that I found interesting. Here are my entries, excuse me if they are weird, I’ve had a bit too much brandy to drink tonight :)

Landing Page Designs

There’s absolutely nothing worse than those long scrolling landing pages. Those one page sites that take you hours to scroll to the bottom of, only to end up scrolling all the way back without a single clue of what it is you’re reading or trying to find. That’s bad business right there!

I have now designed a simple yet stylish, functional landing page that minimizes scroll and helps you organize your content in a way that users wont be scared to hang around on your page. I have also left a spot for ads, or possibly a newsletter form or contact/registration form.

It’s really very simple, if it looks professional, chances are users will last longer on your page. To give you an example, I was hired by www.America.edu recently to setup a quick landing page for one of their free student services, the real estate virtual assistant page. See how simple and organized it looks? What more can you want out of a landing page. This one in particular I have copyrighted, and it comes in different styles, there’s the horizontal navigation version of the design, and the vertical one. There’s also one with 2 wide columns and one with 4! Trust me, even with a 4 column theme it looks hot! ;)

Movie Poster Manipulation

Some University students from France have recently contacted me to help them with a project of theirs. They were shooting a documentary on ‘life in the military’ and wanted me to help edit some of their photographs mainly because they were forced to shoot some in day light, when it really should have been night.

Premium Smilies

I’ve been working on a few smiley packs for bloggers. These will be sold one time each only, exclusively to bloggers who would like to use these on their blogs in their comment section. I may also make a pack for a VBulletin forum theme I am making, similar to the style of this blog.

There are so few premium smiley packs on the market today, and more and more packs are being develped that seem to almost mimic previouse packs before them. I will also be creating custom smiley packs based on a collection of celebraty photographs, and peoples photographs.

Green is the key here, lots of green, simple and crisp. This WordPress theme is free to download, it’s widget friendly and boasts a unique design. Minimalistic as it is, the design speaks for itself. It’s a 2 column light colored theme with right navigation. The theme is designed to be SEO friendly and with a little tweaking here and there to permalink structure and title structure, you’re looking at an amazingly versatile wordpress them. Remember, it’s free to download, just keep the link back to me in the footer as a kind gesture.
