I recently redeveloped and relaunched Lowell.com in April. By migrating the old HTML site into Wordpress, I was able to add a plethora of features to the site that weren’t possible before. Most notable is the Yellow Pages and ability for users to register and provide news articles for the site.

Phoenix.org! What more can I say? In late 2009 I was given the opportunity to build an all-inclusive portal website for Phoenix, Arizona, on a great domain nonetheless. Phoenix.org featuring News, Editorial Columns, a hotel booking engine, jobs, event calendar, yellowpages and so much more.

At DogWalker.com you can search for dog walking services in cities and towns across the United States. Using the Wordpress structure, I was able to provide listing results pages, detailed business pages, and the registration process for users.

Kafevino is a new café, wine cellar, and retail store located in Milwaukee’s historic Third Ward. They needed a website that could handle an e-commerce store, blogging and store info, all while matching the decor of the café.

It's Great To Be So Busy

Mike McAlister — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 23:09:33 +0000

I haven’t had much time to dedicate to updating my own site, but all for good reasons. These past few months have been incredible for SixOneFive, with projects being started and finished all the time. Lots of new clients from the US and abroad.

I’m currently working on a site for Veracruz.com. This is a big one folks: forums, city portals, classifieds, job board, and much more. It’s taking a little longer to develop than expected but I am still happy with the progress so far!

The Bluelight Theme is still moving units on ThemeForest consistently, and I couldn’t be more happy about that. As of today, the HTML and Wordpress templates have brought in $18,000 total. That’s a lot of dough for just two templates! Between client projects, I’m also whipping together a few more themes for ThemeForest just to keep the passive income coming in. I really wish I had more time to make templates. I love having the freedom of sitting down with a blank slate and creating something from scratch.

London vacation is coming up in August, and I’m long overdue for a vacation.

Hopefully I can find some time in my near future to start a real blog about my design/coding/freelance adventures. I think many would be interested in the process of how I went from zero to full-time freelancer over the past few years. I have lots of advice of what not to do your first time around .

More soon.

Veracruz.com Launched!

Today I made final adjustments to Veracruz.com, a development I’ve been working on for two months now. Some of the biggest features of this site include the featured content slider, events calendar, language switcher, ad management, classifieds section, and forums.

Home Popular

This site is a work in progress still by the client. The site will be a home improvement portal, providing all kinds of helpful tips. Even though the site hasn’t launched, I loved how the design came out though, so I wanted to showcase it.
