Theme + Plugins + Database + Customization

We pull out all the creative tools to build websites that produce results for wedding biz professionals.

An Integrated Solution

LaLa Projects has created a solution for Wedding Industry professionals to elevate their website with local data. We have built and now manage many wedding venue and vendor websites throughout the Northern Michigan community. Over time we started to see a pattern in the type of information that our clients are interested in displaying on their websites. Rather than building the same thing over and over again, we decided to build a database of local businesses called locals.guide. The database is backed by a set of WordPress Plugins.

Debra with Lala Projects designed the websites for three of my small businesses – Starry Night Barn, Dragonfly Event Designs and Century Farm Cottages. She has worked with businesses across northern Michigan and many in the events industry. She is an artist with a keen business sense and super tech smart. She and her staff at Lala are always working on opportunities to create efficiencies and fill a need. She approached me a few years ago and asked if we’d be willing to work with them on vendor plugins and explained the concept – so brilliant! As a business, I can add and delete the vendors I want to link with and the information is all there – all populated. It creates a larger community and opportunity to network with area businesses in the events industry without all of us repeating the same work over and over again. If there’s a business that’s not on the list, I let Debra know or contact the business and give them the opportunity to join the community. Before this I spent hours – and then avoided doing it altogether – e-mailing and calling businesses to ask if I could add them, OK great, can you send me a blurb about you, your logo and contact info and next year when I have 30 minutes, I’ll get you added. The plugins allow us to connect with one another and remove all of that leg work. Thank you Debra and Lala Projects!

Let’s Get Technical

Parent & Child Theme

When building a custom wedding industry website we start with the LaLa WordPress Theme 4 as the foundation. This functions at the parent theme. Then we lay a child theme on top of the parent theme. The child theme inherits all the great features, functionality, and blocks of the parent theme. We use the child theme to customize the look and feel of the website. Learn More

Wedding Industry Plugins

Our wedding industry plugins are extensions of the LaLa Theme 4. We use the plugins to add even more great features to the website. The Wedding Vendors Plugin adds a preferred vendor section to the website. The Wedding Portfolio Plugin provides templates needed to showcase your work.

Locals Guide Database

The Locals Guide database integrates with both plugins to pull content into the website from the database via a WordPress API.
