Custom WordPress Design
I was really happy to have had an opportunity to work with the ladies over at Sunshine, especially Vanessa and Rebecca.
Despite having a limited understanding of web design practices, they hit the ground running on this project and brought us lots of great ideas and feedback, culminating in a site that looks great, functions like it’s supposed to and was a lot of fun to build.

Their primary line of business is All Ages Home Health Care, and their team is a compassionate bunch. If you’re in Kansas and know someone who needs home health care, be sure to check them out.
The site is done in WordPress, starting from a generic three-column theme. They wanted it to feel warm and friendly, with big, colorful pictures. The layout is designed to be readable by just about anyone with ease, and if they did happen to have a vision disability, we installed a modified version of the WordPress Font Resizer Plugin to allow dynamic resizing of the text via the font sizer in the header.
Another norm on all of our new sites… speed enhancements and WordPress hosting. We host all of our custom built WP sites on super fast servers with a particular emphasis on MySQL, the usual culprit when it comes to slow WordPress sites. We also removed as many of the php queries as possible and added compression and caching to the .htaccess file to reduce page load times.
The site shows as a “B” in Y-Slow, and is currently loading at just under 2 seconds.
Enjoy!
