Material Design Lead Generation

Material Design Lead Generation Theme

Recently, I have been doing a lot of Fort Worth internet marketing to help drive online traffic to local business owners websites. When I start new campaigns, I generally choose one of the many leadpages alternatives and setup some landing pages to help convert online traffic into business leads.  These pages are normally on the clients domain name, but I also setup little microsites around the business niche.

I use these small websites to target different keywords and take up more real estate in the search engine results.

Hooch - Bourbon WordPress Theme

A Bourbon, Neat, Bitters, and Refills WordPress Theme

Playing around with the suite of front-end projects that the team over at thoughtbot maintains, I created Hooch. I have always been a fan of Bootstrap, but it is always fun to play with other front-end frameworks. Testing their projects out, I made a nice little WordPress theme.

For those of you who have no idea what any of those are, let me give brief introduction.

Last Post Class

Adding a Class to the last WordPress Post

So the other day I as working on a WordPress theme where I was including bottom borders after every blog post. I liked the way this looked except for the last post.. In this case, the last post had a bottom border and didn’t look good with the navigation. The CSS selector :last-child wasn’t giving me the result I was looking for so I did some searching..

Material Design WordPress Theme

Material Design WordPress Theme

You might have heard Google has been putting together a set of guidelines for web and application design called Material Design. These guidelines and principles set the baseline that web developers and designers should follow for the best user experience.

Google hasn’t released any markup or code, but there are a lot of projects online that are following there guidelines to create Material design frameworks. The one that caught my attention created a Material Design Bootstrap theme. You can see the demo here.

Since I have been building Bootstrap WordPress themes over at BragThemes.com and GentsThemes.com, I thought a Material Design WordPress Theme would be a fun project. So I put together a WordPress theme that uses the Material Design Bootstrap theme and called it MaterialWP.

If this is something you might be interested in, you can download it at MaterialWP.com or on GitHub.
