We collaborated with Rich Content to create this beautiful and functional website.

It features a rich sidebar of social media on the homepage along with a custom image slider and three separate blog feeds. There are custom plugins and shortcodes, including ones that allow for tabs, lightboxed videos, a fancy donation form, and more.

Holy Blossom Temple and Rich Content also bear the unique distinction of being Springthistle Design’s first Canadian customers!

ECPAT, which is an organization that advocates for ending child prostitution and trafficking, has been in existence for a long time. However, their had an all-flash website that was impossible to update and had no SEO (Search Engine Optimization).

Springthistle created a new website, with a new design, and in WordPress. There’s a lot of custom functionality, custom shortcodes and more packed into this theme.

Created as a partner site for HOWL The Movie, this site is another very custom WordPress theme, which depends largely on a custom WordPress plugin we wrote as well.

The WordPress installation uses posts for the items on which people can vote. Items are displayed in a different random order to each person, and votes are logged via ajax, which then also takes the user to the next item on which they can vote. Votes are logged in the WordPress posts table and displayed in a grid on the stats page. We had fun coding this site!

The SSDSA’s website runs on WordPress and has the following partial list of features:

• RSS feeds of both Announcements and Events
• Password Protected pages containing proprietary MaToK information for enrolled teachers only
• Many custom plugins and shortcodes on the back-end to make additional data-management easy
• And more!

This research group at Columbia University needed a website to help educate people about how they can help with the research and learn about the results.

• custom design using rotating headers of different churches implemented as a custom WordPress theme

Beth Jacob, a Jewish congregation in Minnesota, had a website that was created in the late 90s and they were ready for something new. They needed a site with bright colors, an up-to-date calendar, useful well-organized information and a system for easily keeping their content up to date. I set them up with a customized WordPress installation, a unique design, and a calendar called EasyPHPCalendar.
