Soo Fireplace & Stone

Site Type: WordPress

Theme: Fancy Theme. Fancy Theme is a premium theme available on ThemeForest.net. It features an image & text slider as the main focus with 3 feature boxes below the slider. It comes with 6 defined color schemes. This theme works quite well for a pellet stove, fireplace and hot tub retailer.

Modifications: The home page was modified in several ways. First I modified the PHP code to use pages instead of posts for the three feature boxes below the slider. Second, the old logo was modified and made more current. Next, the background behind the logo was resized to fit the Soo Fireplace & Stone logo. Lastly, a text box was created for the customer feedback and PHP code was added to replace posts in this area. A logo was added for Don Earl Heating & A/C to the header. A number of CSS modifications were made to meet customer needs. This included the background color. I also fixed the 404 error page because the author hadn’t coded it correctly.

Plugins: Akismet, All-in-One SEO, Exclude Pages from Navigation, Google XML Sitemaps, Maintenance Mode, MapPress, pageMash.

(Note: High FX Media performed the initial design & configuration of this site. Ongoing maintenance and updates are performed by another party.)
