If your WordPress Hosting is slow people might leave. If it is down they can’t even use it. If your site gets hacked then all sorts of not fun things can happen. I don’t need to explain this one further, you get it, hosting is important.
Sgt. Peppers Photograph’s new wordpress website by wordpress developer www.bretglassett.com – the mercury responsive wordpress theme from themeforest.net.
The Mercury wordpress theme was designed specifically as a portfolio theme for photographers with support for a online shop, black and white skins, 20 template galleries, drag and drop content builder and instant AJAX search.
Modifications were made to the Sgt. Peppers theme to allow easier management of the image galleries and integration with their custom online photo ordering cart.

Bret is great to work with. He took my dysfunctional website quickly to a functioning, improved state that exceeded my expectations. I am very pleased with the results! Bret had the IT skills and human sensitivity to interpret my sometimes vague instructions (e.g. “HELP!!!) and created solutions and recommendations that were better than asked. I appreciate too, that Bret’s cost and time estimates were accurate and that he replied promptly to questions and kept me updated on progress. I now have a rental property website that works, is attractive and is a suitable showcase for the properties I rent in beautiful Telluride-Mountain Village, Colorado. (I offer a 5% discount for rentals to clients of Bret’s who link to my site.)

Here is a quick wordpress development tip to help you load posts into the wordpress loop based off the category slug in the URL. This assumes you are using the postname permalink structure for your url, e.g. mysite.com/category/testcategry.
In your functions file add this function:
[php] function getLastPathSegment($url) {
$path = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH);
$pathTrimmed = trim($path, ‘/’);
$pathTokens = explode(‘/’, $pathTrimmed);
if (substr($path, -1) !== ‘/’) {
array_pop($pathTokens);
}
return end($pathTokens);
}
[/php]
This function will process the slug we will pass to it from the template file. In your template file:
[php] $slug = getLastPathSegment($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’]); // Get the last slug item$category = get_category_by_slug($slug); // Load the category
query_posts(‘showposts=-1&post_status=publish&cat=’.$category —>cat_ID); // Load the posts
// WordPress Loop as normal
[/php]
Bret did a fantastic job translating our design into WordPress. He not only made a truly great site for us, that is world-class, but he worked with great diligence and patience with our staff and existing data structures. We are now able to maintain all of our product data in a single location and make changes that are immediately and simultaneously replicated to our public-facing and internal sites. This new site, and the way we are able to manage our data, has propelled Pactimo forward by leaps and bounds. I would highly recommend Bret. His attention to detail, focus and work quality is unlike any other developer we have worked with previously.
