ProStruck.com – This is a business with a new presence in the area. The site was designed to deliver the most critical information in the most straighforward manner to a less-than-technical audience. The design of the site was such that you can find out how to contact the right person to get the information that you need in the easiest way possible.

LCHE.org – The Logan County Home Educators website has been a thought floating in my mind for many months. It has incorporated some of the most powerful Joomla! components availiable and, hopefully, will enable this organization to reach new levels of communication and effectiveness. The site was designed with two primary goals: to educate prospective members and curious visitors as to what homeschooling is in the LCHE, and secondly to reproduce all of the tools (plus a few new ones) availiable to the group through their existing Yahoo! Groups site. For the users, it is a way to communicate not only their neccesary documents, but hopefully will now be a place where they can improve all of their individual homeschooling pursuits.

Russellville Dental Lab – Link is the DEMO. The site is up in it’s BETA form on the .com domain. We have acquired the .com and russellvilledentallab.com domains in addition to the original russellvilledental.net domain in order to secure as much of the traffic as we can. The site, wether it is on the .com or existing .net domain in the end will now give us the power to increase email functionality, to communicate products and services more effectively to our doctors, and will reinforce the brand and quality or work to existing and new customers. The addition of a newsletter to our offerings (along with giveaways) will keep our clientele coming back for more. We will be implementing Google Analytics with a targeted AdWords campaign to increase traffic. The site will also be a way of passing along technical information and communicating the robust professional pursuits of our technicians to an otherwise uninformed community. We will be running less of a “we offer these products” showcase site, and more of a professional community designed to increase brand awareness. Exciting stuff.

Logan County Republicans – the site was updated to include more content and Google Analytics was added to track traffic in addition to BSQSiteStats component in Joomla. This site is in final form and requires only general upkeep.

LeeCoursey.net – The “What I’ve Learned About Joomla!” page was added and the “About Lee Coursey” section was updated at the same time to tell more about me. I was in a writing mood.

The following plugins are active from the start:

• akismet
• wp-cache
• wp-backup

This blog is currently running the Barthelme theme because I have other things to do than make css for a blog. I’ll get to it later.  I swear.

The site has been revived this time as a way to keep up with the actions that I take in regards to the several active projects I have going on right now.

• United Methodist Church of Russellville Website
• amandacoursey.com – Homework Blog
• MyLoganCounty.com – Community Portal for my hometown
• V5WebMarketing.com – my currently inactive business
• RussellvilleDental.net – the family business, converting to a CMS for easy updates
• the COLOR PROJECTS – currently classified projects underway

You’re welcome to follow along. My intent here is to discuss not only the stages of development of each of these projects, but also to catalog my findings on everything from WordPress Plugins to Joomla! Mambots.
