nomad-one WordPress Web Designer

You may not have heard but there’s a City down South, at the very tip of Africa that’s been buzzing with the sound of creative innovation for some time.

A few days ago I was approach by a good friend, Jamaal Khan who runs www.jayz.co.za to design & develop a splash page for one of his clients, Studentology. The site he required needed to be completed within 24 hours, which was a tough ask at that point but I obliged seeing things were relatively [...]

My good friend Jamaal has been really busy taking Jayz.co.za to the next level. I’m super impressed with the way he’s taken his business from a one man show not so long ago, to a team of Social Media Strategists in a really short space of time. Having designed the Jayz Corporate Identity a while [...]

Following a re-tweet about a post discussing web typography, sorry I forget who initially tweeted this one, I was confronted with a piece of information design work which had me absolutely speechless.

The last few months have been really hectic for me as I posted here before with a few setbacks but I’m glad to say I’ve bounced back and things have returned to normal. I’ve completed a few nice little WordPress design projects all with their own interesting twists to them. I’m always amazed at just [...]

Being snowed under for way too long as meant that some of the initial elements I wanted to add to the previous re-design of this site were left out. To be honest the design hadn’t lived up to my expectations form the very begining and has some serious usability problems as well. Having lived with [...]

Earlier in the year, a well known premium wordpress theme developer(Nathan Rice) announced that he would be embarking on an open source wordpress theme project and that he was looking for designers who wanted to collaborate with him. Of course as a wordpress nut I jumped at the opportunity and offered my services. I whipped [...]

Fresh off the back of successful launches of Tech & Sport Leader platforms, the Mail & Guardian online has gone live with a fresh design. I was tipped off by Vincent Maher and had a little discussion about what they’ve changed and why. It’s clear one of the main areas of focus was content as [...]

I Found the following article very apt with regard to the current perceptions by many business people regarding the benefits of a good logo and what they are prepared to “invest” in it. Jacob of Just Creative Design wrote Why logo design does not cost $5.00 in which he mentions: A logo is the very [...]

Heads up. Today is WPCPT3 at the Bandwidth Barn from 4pm – 7pm. We’ve just launched our new theme designed by yours(that’s me) truly and coded by Paul Weingartz who did a fantabulous job. Check us out at www.wordpress.org.za

The guys from Heavy Chef did a great job of getting Phil Barret from Flow interactive to share his experience and ideas with us. I was surprised at the amount of familiar faces I saw at the gathering which I only recently learnt about. Flow Interactive’s Phil Barrett spoke about ‘User Experience: What it is, [...]
