  • Description:
    I designed my sites...and it shows! I need to redo EVERYTHING.
    there are 2 sites--ecowalls.ca and ipyp.ca. The first is a specialty plaster company and the other is a painting company.
    I want to merge the two so that everything is under ecowalls, but still keep two distinct identities, but not two different brandings. (My intention is to do away with the name IPYP altogether)
    Instead of wearing two hats (specialty plasters and painting) I want to be the "environmentally friendly wall coating expert" who focuses on specialty plasters and paint. In addition, I want to offer consultancy with a team of experts at my disposal. I work closely with the folks at www.rivasecostore.com, who sell the products I use and their store is my showroom. They are also experts in their field and recommend me (and other trades such as carpenters, installers, etc. who share their vision and commitment to green building practices). But as a whole, we end up giving a lot of FREE advice. We need to monetize!
    The challenge for me is that the plaster side caters ONLY to higher-end customers, whereas the painting side appeals to a broader target market.
    I need a site that:
    is beautiful
    informative
    accessible
    CREATES the market (paint is old school and everybody needs it, but the earth plasters are not well known)
    can be managed by me
    integrates synergistically with Riva's site

    If you want to take this on, lets talk!

    Going through the details and requirements of the website I would suggest Wordpress to be perfect for this purpose. Using Wordpress we merge both websites contents into a single website which will serve the purpose of showcasing both plaster and painting service.

    Here is a short list of features that could be added to the website:
    1.Blog: For latest projects updates. Blog writing is something Wordpress was originally developed for, hence posts can very effectively be handled through Wordpress.

    2.Two Photo galleries: That includes pictures from completed as well as on going projects, one for plaster and one for painting. Wordpress have beautiful sliders and galleries plugins which can add innovation to the whole website.
    3.A Full Fledged contact area, which consists of a email contact form, as well as telephone and address details including a captcha code for security to avoid bots.

    4.FAQs:to provide the visitor with answers their brains are usually clouded with before selecting a painter or plaster service.
    5.Services: This portion emphasize on services
    their specialty, American Clay Plastering(includes American clay
    plaster,faux finishing,commercial and residential painting)
    6.Testimonials:play a major role and provide evidence for our quality in work,so are a must.but they need not be boring texts,rather can be made really attractive and easy to manage using WP plugins. Testimonials showcased in video form is highly trusted.
    7.Wordpress has hassle free sidebars that contain clean widget areas which can cover the following:
    *free quote
    *service area
    *videos
    *certifications and awards(BBB,PDCA)



    Further some of the websites that may come handy for this purpose are:
    http://theroofingcompany.com/
    http://www.texpropainters.com/
    http://renaissancepainting.ca
    http://www.tadelaktsydney.com.au/

    Also once we are done with website development, we can bring your sites in top ranks in google. We can discuss on this later.

    that prize money is NOT for the work of doing the website!
    It is merely for a concept that we can develop the site from. Tell me your ideas. Send me links to sites you think have an appropriate look and feel.
    If I like your idea best, you get the prize.
    BUILDING the site is whole different thing, with more money of course!!

    Hi there,

    I've gone through both cited websites. In my opinion we should opt Latest Wordpress to merge these sites. Using WP we can focus on both websites contents having hierarchical and canonical look. Also WP provides fantastic gallery and video and audio embedding. To look more viewable to website we should enlarge the website ecowalls in respect of its width and increase the font size some what large.

    There are also many aspects to fulfill the requirement.

    Regards,
