Custom WordPress Web Design for St. Louis Photography Studio

Posted on January 22, 2013 by JUSTEN HONG

Visual Lure was recently contracted to design a custom WordPress website/theme for Roland Studios Photography, a husband and wife photography team located in St. Louis, MO. They specialize in wedding photography, but they also shoot tons of engagements, seniors, families, maternity and babies. Their previous website was built using an existing WordPress theme, but it had tons of limitation when it came to customizations. It forced them to use certain areas to place content whether content needed to be there or not.  It wasn’t very user or search engine friendly and had issues when viewed on iPads and smartphones. The new website was designed specifically to be search engine optimized, user friendly, and admin friendly, making it easy to update and edit pages, images and blog post. For the design, we used elements from their logo to tie everything together.

Website Redesign for St. Louis based Professional Photography Consultant & Educator

Posted on May 18, 2012 by JUSTEN HONG

Visual Lure has been helping Salvatore Cincotta build his brands from the beginning, including his photography company, his album line, his editing company and his professional photography consulting/education business, Behind The Shutter – which brings us to the new redesign.  Behind the Shutter will soon be changing its content/format into a digital interactive magazine. It will feature videos, industry insider’s best kept secrets, exclusive interviews along with Sal’s expert business advise. Sections of the magazine will be free with signup while other sections will require a reasonably priced upgrade to view.

Using design elements taken from the new magazine layout, the new website will be built in a custom designed WordPress theme along with custom PHP coding to make the site easier to maintain.

Below is a sneak peek at the new home page design. Check back soon for the new website launch.

Website Design for St. Louis based Landscaping/Lawn Care & Tree Maintenance Companies

Posted on May 17, 2012 by JUSTEN HONG

Visual Lure was recently contracted to redesign websites for a St. Louis based landscaping/lawn care company, and their sister company that provides tree trimming and tree maintenance services. Their old web design company, who also setup their emails, went dark and quite returning email and phone calls. Then Rite-A-Way/Tip Top started having email problems… you get the idea… Visual Lure to the rescue.

In order to work with our client’s budget and save cost, we created one custom WordPress theme and then designed the second website using the exact same framework – simply changing out the logo, a couple backgrounds, some colors and of course content.

Check back soon for the launch of the new websites.

Here is the new home page for Rite-A-Way Lawn Care:

Visual Lure Launches New Website for a St. Louis Based Photo/Wedding Album Company

Posted on March 6, 2012 by JUSTEN HONG

Visual Lure recently launched The Signature Collection website.  The Signature Collection is an online photo/wedding album company that was the brainchild of Salvatore Cincotta.  Sal is an international award winning photographer who felt the market was lacking a user friendly photo album solution, so we helped him develop a website that was easy to use, easy to order from and easy to upload images to once the order was placed.  We modeled many of the store’s features after Apple’s platform with real time pricing, sliding previews and more.  The front-end of the website is built in WordPress so that their staff can easily maintain those sections, and the store, along with the Virtual Album Builder were built in PHP with a fully custom admin section.  The Virtual Album Builder allows registered users to build their albums online with a preview of the product and real time pricing.

You must be a professional photographer to register and order their products. (We also designed the logo)
