We helped this client convert his site to wordpress. He had many different sites that he was trying to manage. We consulted him to combine them all into one location. He already had a design. I did however tweak his design. I added the header imagery. This client had the best product imagery I’ve seen a client do on their own. Especially for art work. The header really makes use of his images really well. He now has the Photoshop .psd file so he can tweak himself.
This site really got me started in extending wordpress. Although I didn’t make it a plugin, I wrote a function in the template functions file for grabbing his ebay listings. There are options out there for this, however they all were really bad. Some were super slow, others added odd formatting issues to the page. I finally just wrote my own based on the e-bay API. It does the job beautifully, and might I add, really fast. (note: he doesn’t always have ebay listings. Update: he may have switched to a paypal cart for his work.)
On a side note, I am really impressed with this artist. He paints a painting a day. I’ve tried painting before. I couldn’t imagine doing one a day. His work is for sale thru his site. Well priced too!
