After teaming up and forming Custom CMS Design LLC with my son, Roger Degerstrom of www.CodeRepair.com we launched 4 websites related to custom cms web design as the Custom CMS Design LLC collaboration.

Update 2011: The Custom CMS Design LLC company name and family of websites were discontinued earlier this year and all related websites were taken offline in September 2011.

Roger and I decided to continue to operate our existing commercial websites for solo custom cms web design work as sole proprietors from Virginia and Florida, and actual projects for low cost standard package web design are now offered in a newly formed collaboration at www.5in545.com.

Final tweaking and launch of an Orlando vacation rental cms web design took place within the last month for anOrlandoVacationVilla.com. This custom cms web design is a content management system in xhtml with css and features a flash photo slide show on the home page, virtual tours, contact reservation forms, plus a visitor comments guestbook, and more.

The custom cms web design website photo gallery created entirely in css includes searchable text for seo search engine optimization benefits compared to flash. Mousing over thumbnails presents an enlarged view with text captions that can be indexed by search engines.

The advantage of a custom cms web design is the owner may add, edit, or delete content without any knowledge of xhtml by simply creating plain text files, entering content in the admin backend, and selecting publish to update content. A cms, or content management system, is the easy way for a website owner to update a web design optimized for seo without paying each time for changes.

A second custom integrated blog design launched this week for author Ben Furman of Black Hawk Press. Mr. Furman is an independent publisher and writer, and former FBI Counterterrorism Chief who writes two genres of fiction. The audience for his mature content blog on counterterrorism is adults, and the latest blog features information about his fantasy adventure series for young adults.

Each custom integrated blog matches the pre-existing web design and each sidebar features a custom logo graphic as shown above to illustrate the theme of each blog. The original blog included posts on both themes, and the new blog separates content based on the target audience. Included in the custom integrated blogger template design is an audio player so visitors may listen to book excerpts, also.

The main site has more information on all books including reviews and links to purchase online.

A custom restaurant CMS web design launched earlier this week for Kabob Place, an Indian food restaurant in Orlando, Florida. The initial launch is a home page plus 3 pages with their Indian food menu of soups, appetizers, side dishes, main dishes, desserts, and beverages. In addition to the home page and menu, the site features a custom Orlando map of their location.

The above screenshot of the Indian restaurant home page with custom web design graphics is shown smaller than actual size. The Kabob Place Indian Restaurant is near MetroWest in Orlando and caters to local residents with quality Indian food at modest prices.

The custom web design is valid to XHTML and CSS2 and complies to W3C standards with zero code errors or warnings. The CMS, or Content Management System of web design, allows a website owner to add unlimited new pages to their site without knowing XHTML or CSS code.

In the last week two new CMS web designs launched with a Florida insurance company website for Harmony Insurance in Kissimmee, Florida, offering auto insurance, home insurance, plus life, health, and business including workers comp. The other web design is an Orlando Florida real estate website for Henry E Epinsel, Realtor, offering homes for sale in the Orlando and surrounding Central Florida area.

Each is a CMS web design, or Content Management System, which allows adding unlimited new pages. The insurance site features an online insurance quote request form and the real estate web design has info for sellers and buyers with a mortgage calculator on the buyers page, plus a link to search all Florida MLS.

The launch of each initial site cms web design will continue to evolve as new pages are added. The Harmony Insurance site will have additional online forms beginning with a fast quote form and then individual quote forms for other insurance products. The English version of the real estate site will be translated and reproduced in Spanish in the near future.

Each site web design meets W3C for XHTML with CSS2 and zero code errors or warnings.

Another custom cms web design client has recorded an audio testimonial with feedback after the recent launch of their custom website project. Follow this link to the Atlanta recruiter cms web design project overview, and then listen to the audio recording of the customer’s comments. A text transcript is posted with the audio, also.

Remarkably, within a month of the launch of this custom cms web design and matching blog, their site achieved Google page one listings for some very generic search phrases related to recruiting services in the Atlanta area. I never guarantee any client page one in search engines, yet following the search engine optimization advice for natural seo quality worked quickly for them.

The secret to search engine optimization is still “add original quality content often”. Success begins with a quality web design as the foundation for performing well online. The kind comments from Fidelis Search LLC owner Brian Swaney about the custom cms web design are certainly appreciated.

A custom cms web design launched last week for Atlanta recruiter Fidelis Search, LLC, and includes an integrated matching Blogger custom blog template. Fidelis specializes in assisting Atlanta area corporate clients recruit qualified job seekers for accounting and finance related positions.

A new custom blogger template launched earlier this week for the publisher and author blog of BlackHawkPress.com. The new integrated blog design color scheme and graphics match the pre-existing web design for a consistent look. Adding a custom integrated blog to any small business website enhances search engine optimization, or seo, and helps attract search engines.

Black Hawk Press is an independent publisher of counterterrorism novels by Ben Furman, publisher and author, as well as another genre with an adventure series of fantasy novels for young adults. Mr. Furman provides an inside look of worldwide intrigue and suspense based on real world experience aimed at adult readers. The childrens series of fantasy adventures offers excitement while providing positive messages for young readers.

The Black Hawk Press blog will feature posts with audio excerpts from their books, insider information about counterterrorism, and professional writing tips by Ben Furman.

The template demo directory of CMS Web Design and Blogger Template Demos just updated with the addition of custom cms work in progress for the Entrepreneurs Green Club of Florida, or EGC.

Here is the matching business card artwork created for the site owner showing their parrot symbol and custom logo design shown here larger than actual size.

This colorful xhtml with css custom cms design has already launched on the customer’s server, and then additional design work with custom graphics to dress up the site is planned.

A new custom integrated blog template design and site addition launched recently for Pacific Rent A Car, a car hire rental company in Cyprus. The new Blogger template for this international client matches their main website except for the addition of a new blog button in the top navigation. Here is a graphic of the matching blog top header and navigation buttons shown smaller than actual size:

The company manager made several comments about the completed car rental blog integration:

I am totally happy. Thank you for the great job. I worked with two different companies from India and they were not able to finish it. You are so professional. I am glad that I trusted you. Thank you very much.

Berkan Ocal, Manager, Pacific Rent A Car, Kyrenia Cyprus

The matching website integrated blog graphics and color scheme are nearly identical and passed tests for cross browser compatibility. While confirming my custom integrated blog design matched their main pages correctly in all major browsers, I reported that their main website only displays properly in IE.

Depending on when they correct their code, readers comparing my design of the Pacific Rent A Car blog and main site are reminded that I only created the custom integrated blog which was done in xhtml with css and displays well in all browsers. Their main site may not depending on your browser. The customer has contacted their original site designers to correct the cross browser compatibility.

A special thanks to Mr. Berkan Ocal for placing his order and confidence with me for a custom integrated blog. The trust of an international client more than 10,000 km (6600 miles) away for custom web design services is certainly appreciated.
