Working with rapper and recording artist Charles Thomas (Laid Diamond) was nothing short of exhilarating! He came to WunderWebs with an idea for a website where independent artists and music lovers could come together as a collaborative force, giving themselves a greater opportunity for their music to be heard. The desire was for something dynamic and engaging for all audiences, but still functional and informative. The WebGoddess transformed his vision into a metallic and gritty, yet sleek and sophisticated, online music store. She accomplished this with the primary use of textures in a gray scale, allowing the album graphics to take center stage.
Charles also wanted the site to have a MP3 player to encourage sampling of original music and mix-tapes, as well the ability for immediate downloads at time of purchase. The size and complexity of the site, as it runs an online store, ‘static’ website, and a fully-functional membership forum, required that the WebGoddess incorporate a powerful e-commerce plugin for WordPress. This plugin was styled to match the site, along with multiple additional plugins and custom widgets to achieve the functionality and look desired. There was a lot of custom programming for this site and technically it was a project that challenged her skill-set, but the result was well worth it.
Are you a independent singer, musician, or band? Are you looking for a website to sell MP3 downloads of your music? Do you want a place to show off your music for free? Why not sign up with the Grind Legal today and they will feature you and your music in their GL Artist section!

When the WebGoddess got the green light from Laura Steele to design a new website for her, she couldn’t have been more thrilled. While Laura had a site that suited her very well for the earlier part of her “Cher tribute” career, a new addition to her stage show (Cher to the Max), along with a desire for a more updated, dynamic look meant it was time for a complete website overhaul from the ground up.
The first stop was assessing the “Cher look” Laura wanted to convey. She used words like ‘gothic’, ‘metallic’, ‘glitter’ and ‘fabulous’. She also explained that she wanted the site to have a similar “look and feel” as Cher’s Caesar’s Palace website, but at the same time reflecting Laura’s own dynamic “Cher the Experience” brand in pink and black. And finally, for inspiration, she sent a video of herself performing as Cher as well as provided several photos from her many shows.
Taking all this into account, the WebGoddess created a dramatic, show-stopping design that reflects not only Laura’s fabulous tribute to Cher, but her own personality as well. Laura’s new site is quite elaborate in terms of design overlay, images and video.
For this project, the WebGoddess utilized a WordPress platform and custom coded it to the hilt providing not only basic website information, but the ability to “request a quote”, watch Laura’s videos, read her show reviews, and gain an inside look at the Laura Steele– the fabulous person as well as the incredible performer.

Magnolia School of Etiquette Launches New Website
The Magnolia School of Etiquette offers etiquette enrichment classes with emphasis on social graces, dining formality and old fashioned manners for modern times to primary and secondary schools, charter and magna schools, colleges, community centers, various groups and private individuals.
San Diego, CA, July 17, 2010 –(PR.com)– Civility and manners are as important today as they ever were and we are often judged by something as simple as how we hold our fork to the strength of our handshake. Many families struggle to find time at the dinner table with the entire family – the place where most dining etiquette would be discussed or taught.
In today’s fast-paced, high-tech and increasingly busy lifestyle…manners…or worse yet, the lack thereof, are becoming a lost art. With families on the run to meetings, sports events, school affairs, office and travel…children and young adults are learning very little when it comes to simple and basic social graces and dining etiquette.
We are living in the “techno-age” using cell phones inappropriately and brandishing hurtful emails with a click of the “Send” button. We vigorously text the entire time someone is having a conversation with us…distantly nodding with monosyllabic replies as though we are a thousand miles away.
The Magnolia School of Etiquette is committed to teaching the art of southern-style manners and the development of comportment that exudes kindness, grace, and generosity of spirit to adolescents and adults. The South is world-famous for their gracious and proper manners. At The Magnolia School of Etiquette, we are delighted to teach the standard rules of social, dining, and business etiquette, combined with the gentle and unpretentious hospitality of the Deep South.
Participants will gain confidence and an improved sense of self-esteem through our interactive and informative classes using role-play, multi-media, workbooks, and props.
The Magnolia School of Etiquette was founded by Jonnie Fox Flanagan. Jonnie was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana where she enjoyed exquisite dining at famous and fabulous restaurants such as Brennans, Arnauds, Commander’s Palace, Emeril’s and the original “Ruth’s” Chris Steak House during her 35 years in the South.
Before moving to San Diego, CA. Her professional background included advertising and media relations for NBC affiliate WDSU-TV, Clear Channel radio affiliate WQUE-FM, CitiBusiness Business Journal and serving as Corporate Sales Manager for the New Orleans Saenger Performing Arts Theatre. She was also employed as Executive Assistant to Vice President of Business Operations for the NBA franchise, New Orleans Jazz.
In these highly publicized employment opportunities, Jonnie was inspired by the traditional Southern hospitality, social graces and art of fine dining that permeates the uniquely historic and festive “City of New Orleans”.
With comprehensive training and tutelage under Sue Fox, Founder of Etiquette Survival, author, and one of the leading etiquette education experts in the country, Jonnie founded The Magnolia School of Etiquette.
They offer etiquette enrichment classes with emphasis on social graces, dining formality and old fashioned southern manners, to K-12 schools, community centers, various groups and private individuals.

This project began back in 2007 by three cousins who had never met: Karen in Canada, Sandra in the USA and Peter in the UK. Karen is the owner of a large and mysterious photograph album brought back to Canada from Europe by her grandfather, William Quinn, at the end of the Second World War. At first they did not know who had owned the album originally or who took the photographs. Their main aim in this research was to identify that person or persons. What a thrilling journey of discover it has been!
