Sohaib Thiab – The Story of an Internet Entrepreneur

Been busy the past couple of days with a number of things including the new WizardsProductions website which is the gaming company setup in Jordan, the website is still missing some pages but they are not important ones, all the main pages are up there, the content was written by one of the partners in the company and he did a pretty good job in my opinion.

Keep in mind that this is a corporate website and not a gaming site, we were wondering for quite some time which approach should we take with the website, should we keep it corporate? or add some a gaming touch to it? we finally decided to go corporate and save the gaming portal look for another project.

I’ve went through a number of stages that ended up with these theme:

1- The 1st thing I did was a wordpress blog using a paid gaming template, you can check it out here.

2- The egamer theme we used didnt have all the functionality we did, so we went custom and got a custom design made, html’d it and used it for a couple of months, however the design didnt meet what we wanted (not sure why we didnt decide on that sooner before going through the trouble of creating the whole website)

3- Bought the paid template you see now on the website which looks very good in my opinion, I did go through allot of templatemonsters as well but we didnt like any of them, they all the same!!

During my 6 years of working online and launching websites, I’ve learned that going custom is usually the best thing to do, this also depends on many variables mainly your budget and the project itself, however using a template that delivers the end result is also a smart choice.

Btw, what do you think of the Wizards logo below? this was custom made by a Jordanian designer we hired locally, he did quite a good job in my opinion!
