The Codex

Below is a sampling of what your Codex will look like. This is how we combat Design Drift. All your elements, pre-styled, in a single place. Now, you don’t have to stare at a blank screen for too long.

Icon Pods

Navigate to Patterns and select Icon Pods. This is a templated pattern that can be edited directly in the Block Editor.

This block utilizes Font Awesome icons. At the top of each pod, there is an HTML block where you can copy/paste a Font Awesome icon code. Our site primarily uses Thin icons from Font Awesome. If Duotone is selected, a color will be automatically applied.

Custom web design

Every website we build at Classic City Consulting is custom-built. There is a time and a place for templates, but that’s not our specialty. We’ve created our own baseline theme that works with the WordPress Block Editor that cuts website editors’ time in half.

Website content writing

A website that doesn’t convert typically has one of two problems: (1) a poor user experience or (2) writing that doesn’t connect with the audience. When thinking about a website redesign, we want to define the key pages a typical customer will view and craft them to line up with your message.

Responsive web design

Mobile devices have been around forever at this point. However, the mobile version of a lot of websites needs some love. We will look at your analytics, determine what types of devices your customers are viewing your site and make sure we are designing with the right screen sizes in mind.

Landing page design

Without landing pages, marketing is meaningless. And, if those landing pages don’t convert, then what is the point? When we work together month-over-month, we’ll partner with your marketing team to understand the goals of each campaign and craft the appropriate landing pages for your website.
