Riding a Bike

By Aaron On May 18, 2012 · Add Comment · In Bikes, Musings

I’m going to deviate a bit this week from the normal design or client related stuff. Talking bikes again. But today’s topic will be about learning to ride a bike and teaching somebody to do it.

My mom says I learned to ride a bike around 5 or 6 years old. I can’t remember so [...]

Playing with the GoPro

By Aaron On May 10, 2012 · Add Comment · In Bikes, Photography

I have a couple of friends that were nice enough to give me a GoPro this last weekend. They knew I’d be excited, being an avid outdoors guy, a photographer and dabbling in video, but I was ecstatic.  I’ve wanted to play with one of these things for a while now and I’m stoked on my [...]

A Bike Sketch

On May 4, 2012 By Aaron

I had a couple of free hours this week while waiting for a client to get back to me so I took advantage and did a quick sketch. Taken from a picture of Chris Canfield, it was good to get back to pencil and paper (and photoshop and my wacom).

My 5 Favorite WordPress Plugins

On April 27, 2012 By Aaron

I use WordPress a lot these days. One main reason is the endless number of plugins. There are almost 20,000 listed for free on the WordPress site alone. There is also hundreds of “premium” pay for plugins. It allows me to easily provide a lot of functionality for my clients easily and cheaply. Here are [...]

Hermosa by Christina: a Website Project

On April 20, 2012 By Aaron

Recently I was given the opportunity to work on a website project for Hermosa by Christina, an up and coming women’s loungewear line of clothing. Kris Hickox at Pool Creative was, once again, gracious enough to refer me to one of her clients. She’s an amazing designer and I always enjoy [...]

Making a Case for Blogging and Social Media and Some Numbers

On April 13, 2012 By Aaron

A large portion of my business is putting together websites, and a lot of those are created using the WordPress CMS (Content Management System). I tell my clients all the time that managing their blog and utilizing social media will help considerably with their SEO (Search Engine Optimization) efforts. I know that it’s important and [...]

The Nimble 9 29er Touring Build

On April 6, 2012 By Aaron

I wanted a bike that could do it all. A commuting, bikepacking, single track, mountain pass and fire road touring and anything in-between two wheeled beast. My solution? Take a frame from one of my favorite bike companies (Canfield Brothers) and slap on a build kit that would allow that kind of crazy range of [...]

Best Practices, Lessons Learned

On March 30, 2012 By Aaron

I’ve been doing freelance design for over 10 years now. In any business customer satisfaction is important. In freelance it’s necessary. I suppose you could, as a freelance designer, just do a bunch of mediocre work and find your next client on the web and low bid everyone else to get the job. That would [...]

A Nimble 9 Bike Build – Pt. 2

On March 23, 2012 By Aaron

Spring is here in Durango. The trails on the East side of town are drying out. The trails on the West side of town are a mess of glorious mud. Only trace amounts of snow can still be seen in the shadowy recesses of the neighborhood. Afternoon t-shirt sunbaths in the backyard [...]

Cart66 – A Quick Review

On March 16, 2012 By Aaron

As a web designer, I use a CMS on most of my projects. These days I primarily use WordPress. It’s powerful. A lot of programmers design plugins for the Platform and if you can think of some kind of functionality you need on your website, chances are somebody has created something already that will allow [...]
