Prior to using the WordPress system, I had designed a number of versions of kre8-ive.com to showcase my online portfolio. Initially launched as “studiophusion,” the website followed a storyline to portray the work. It slowly evolved into a more pictorial entity. The final version prior to this one actually went completely different, focusing on page layout based off a resume template I designed. Images were launched as Shadowbox features, keeping the website clean and very light.

Since relaunching kre8-ive.com using WordPress, I have rebranded the site to SPeterKane.com. The rebranded site which you are viewing now is the second iteration.

With the move to WordPress, I have returned to a pictorial focus while at the same time increasing content management.

This was a personal project of mine born out of the numerous issues I had with my 2002 Volkswagen Jetta. After horrid customer service experiences and then reading disparate stories about many other issues VW owners have faced, I decided that there needed to be a single location to keep these stories. Since the launch of the site, there have been a number of stories submitted and the traffic remains very constant.

The site has gone through three versions. The latest one incorporates utilizes the WordPress framework in order to create a better workflow as well as manage the growing content. The design of version 2 was mostly retained for this third version.

The Green Element was developed as a method to not only aggregate articles and links regarding sustainability, but to provide scale to the topic. The articles are broken down into categories dependent on the level of impact the sustainability initiative pertains. The concept is to help individuals better understand at what level action can be taken. This portal also helps to further promote the topic of sustainability.

The site uses WordPress for content management and is based off of the Futurosity Smashing Magazine design template.
