Turas Group Logo & WordPress Theme

Nate — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 20:36:25 +0000

The Turas Group is a professional recruitment start-up in the Washington, D.C. area with a unique perspective on the career & hiring process. Rather than only seeing the “next prospect” or the “next interview”, the Turas Group encourages its customers and candidates to view the process as “a journey”, which is the meaning of the Irish word, turas.

The identity mark developed for the Turas Group features a sailboat with wind in the sails, communicating movement and strength in a way that is fitting for a professional services firm. The website design elaborated upon this mark and included a mix of business and sailing imagery. For easy content management, the Turas Group website was built upon WordPress, a leader among open-source web publishing platforms.

WordPress Theme for Water Non-Profit

The Water to Wine Project is a non-profit that partners with local restaurants to give clean drinking water to some of the world’s poorest people groups. They needed a website that would help encourage the public to get involved, as well as provide them the tools to build an information base for people who wanted to know more.

WordPress was the perfect fit, and I quickly provided a theme that helped communicate their message. Now their own staff can add to individual pages, as well as the organization’s blog, in order to spread their mission to provide clean water to the globe.

Lingua Progress Website

After helping Lingua Progress with identity and logo development, the website took shape around the same core values: growth, knowledge and enjoyable learning. Along with attractive design, the website needed to reach across linguistic and cultural lines, as well as provide Lingua Progress’s staff the ability to manage various forms of web content.

By designing and implementing a custom WordPress theme, I helped Lingua Progress satisfy all of these requirements in time for their September 2009 launch.
