I helped to organize the content that he currently had and integrate it into a WordPress installation for ease of maintenance by not so “tech-savy” users.  I modified the original theme by adding a jQuery image preview of all of their properties as part of the site’s header.  I also integrated the properties to be dynamically pulled together on the properties page and made use of post meta-data to determine what extra amenities each property had.

I used embedded Google map information for allowing site visitor’s to quickly map directions to Put-in-Bay from any source.

Finally, we decided on a new domain name to use to avoid confusion and settled on islandclubvillarentals.com (we also have islandclubvilla.com).  I then setup his pages to use SEO keywords and descriptions, setup his sitemap.xml and robots.txt file, hooked his site into Google Analytics for stat tracking, and even setup a quick Google AdWords campaign to help get him on his feet with web traffic.

To allow them to manage their content and images on their own, I created the site using WordPress. By working closely with the client, I was able to find a theme that resembled the design they were looking for, then modified it to meet their needs.

The main feature of the site is the ability for clients to easily browse the available design patterns and choose a custom engraving design form the comfort of their home.
