Elm Creative launched G&P Masonry’s new branding and identity today!
G&P Masonry, a masonry company with locations in Chattanooga and Knoxville, worked with us to re-name their company, develop a new logo, tagline, visual identity, website, and a bit of PR.
We will be performing bi-annual web updates for them, and really look forward to a continued partnership.
I have to say, I am really proud of this site. The Early College of Arvada is a college preparatory, free public charter school of 300 students. ECA partners with University of Colorado at Denver to provide students the opportunity to take college courses while still receiving the high levels of support offered at the high school level.
They had an urgent need to redesign their website, and I am so happy to have helped achieve that goal. I think their site tells their story, mission, and future seamlessly and I couldn’t be prouder.
Vol Update is a bi-weekly student newsletter that our division of Media Relations sends out. I designed and developed a landing page (and mini-section) for Vol Update within our main campus news website. This landing page project was also accompanied by an e-newsletter redesign. The e-newsletter is now built within WordPress using a combination of multiple custom post types and fairy dust.

I launched the redesign of Tennessee Today on this morning. Highlights of this redesign include providing an outstanding mobile experience, spotlighting news from our colleges, providing an easy way to sign up for and view past issues of our daily e-newsletter, providing story-to-story navigation and more efficient ways to browse stories of a similar topic, and drawing attention to ongoing campus news.
This project has been in the works for nearly two years and is a major accomplishment. Read more about the redesign or visit Tennessee Today.
Today an updated Cone Zone website launched. This site was featured on local news station a couple years back. It uses the latest UT responsive WordPress theme and has been re-architected.
February was a very busy month for me, I launched three separate websites!
Faculty Appreciation Week
University Housing
Office of the Provost
My latest freelance project, Girls of the Run of Greater Knoxville, launched this morning!
For this project, I completed a domain transfer & registration and provide website hosting. The new website uses WordPress as a CMS. The website is entirely custom, designed and developed from scratch.
The overall design concept is energetic and playful, aligning with the overall brand of Girls on the Run International. The WordPress theme employs responsive web development (check out the site on your desktop computer compared to your smartphone!).
A week or so ago I was talking about migrating all my WordPress installations to a new hosting provider. Well, my family website migration must be a cat because I swear it died 9 times on its way over. Eventually I just used Cyberduck and manually migrated the entire /uploads/ directory (btw, 4 years worth of images took FOREVER), then in phpMyAdmin I did SQL exports of every WordPress table in the installation, then on the new hosting space, imported all the SQL exports using phpMyAdmin. Took a while, everything looked beautiful when I visited the site, but I tried to login and was greeted with the error message:
You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
Boo.
Did lots of googling and discovered a fix that solved my permissions problem.
I changed table prefixes post-WordPress-installation (to match the SQL export), and I discovered there are a few values that are important to change in addition to the table prefixes.
Here are the additional values that must be changed:
In the
usermeta
table, there are several meta_keys:
prefix_capabilities
prefix_dashboard_quick_press_last_post_id
prefix_user-settings
prefix_user-settings-time
In the
options
table, there is a critical option_name that needs to be changed:
prefix_user_roles
Depending on your install and plugins, there may be more. For me, this has fixed it. Will post again if it’s not enough.
