Well overdue but never late than never! The website previously was designed as a minisite using html and psd. Now I have switched over to my favorite content management system, Wordpress.

Currently, on the frontend there is not a lot of content, nor a long sales letter. The conversions should pick up with the new design and testing will be very much evident.

Here are before and after images:

I regularly need them for specific projects. I have found some real gems in terms of price *free*, for non-commercial use.

One of my two favorite places are:

Icon Archive

Iconspedia


Those above are free. But you can of course use, iStockphoto and BigStockphoto.com

Typically the most popular sports icons are available such as:

  • Football
  • World Cup 2010
  • Soccer
  • Basketball
  • Tennis
  • Baseball
  • Golf
  • Volleyball
  • NBA
  • Olympic
  • Ice Hockey

He chose the template for the his Wordpress blog platform and I customized it to his liking.  The blog is focused on everything basketball and as a scouter and recruiter, House knows basketball inside out. Look for this blog to be popular in the future.

The website was created with a sense of connecting the website visitor with the experience of the bar before visiting. The use of bricks and calm colors are the exact feelings when you enter the Black Squirrel Bar of Washington, D.C.
