New Free Website Launched for Client 0

Posted on December 13, 2011 by admin

As a snowmobiler, I decided to donate the time necessary to update the website for the Sicamous snowmobile club (Eagle Valley Snowmobile Club), giving them the features of a CMS system, instead of the old Frontpage/FTP system.

They now have the simplicity of logging in at their convenience and updating necessary pages like Grooming updates, or Events/News as needed, without the need to wait for someone who knows how to do it. The new site also gives them a consistent design from page to page, and more flexibility and speed compared to the old one. Several users have generously commented on the usability and speed of the site, as well as the content, and that it’s up-to-date. The new site is also much more SEO friendly, with pretty URLs, proper HTML structure, and separation of design from content.

The site is based on CMS Made Simple – my favorite CMS backend system. I prefer this over Joomla and WordPress.

The new site is based on an existing (customized) theme – so I can’t take credit for much of the design. Just the setup, and some customization in colors, and CSS fetaures.

All 3D content and Textures for Sale or Free 0

Posted on November 30, 2011 by admin

Just in case you’re in need, I recommend the3DStudio.com as the first place to check for stock models, textures, etc. I find a lot of high quality models available there. Several of my own products are available, either for free (with free registration/account required) or for sale.
Surprisingly, one of the long standing top search queries and leads to this blog are for people searching for free 3D Diamond models – I happen to have one for free! (just sign up).
Anyway, there are a few random things available, and if there is something custom that you want, let me know – I’ll do my best to make it for you!
