Out of this World: A Case Study in The Art of Web Design!

"I have had the privilege of working with Ralph Manis on a great many cover art and art projects associated with my award winning sci fi series since 2012. Working with Ralph is always a pleasure. His professionalism and skill as a visionary artist have produced stunning representations of the Citadel 7 Superverse we have created. I say we, because he never fails to bring the visuals required into the breathtaking symmetry and color working right alongside us. As our Web administrator and site designer he has proven invaluable in every aspect as well. Having Mr. Manis in your art or web design corner means your web presentation and or art portfolio are second to none."

The Challenge

Citadel 7 – Science fiction novel book series by Yuan Jur. An adventure that spans physical & ethereal planes of existence. Beings great & small are thrown into turbulent adventure, war, betrayal, l triumph and discovery. Reincarnated mortals stand alongside creator gods, alien races and ordinary people who do the extraordinary. The 2025 version of the Citadel 7 2025 website redesigned and database imported from an Drupal deployment. The new built is with WordPress CMS platform, implementing PHP, XHTML, custom theme, templates and plugins. Web design, blog, photo galleries, Java Script, CSS, search engine optimization (SEO), programming, Adobe Premier video editing, banners and graphics by Infinitee Web Design.

The challenge here was to create a captivating and graphicly outstanding website with an emphasis on the authors books. we needed to connect the visitors to easy access to purchasing the many books in the series.

The Goal

Our primary goal was to create a thrilling and user-friendly shopping experience for visitors and customers of Cactus Mountain. Additionally, we aimed to showcase their beautifully handcrafted leather products to ensure they receive the recognition they deserve. A large number of the images they provided required significant Photoshop adjustments for lighting and color correction, but that’s one of our areas of expertise.

The Solution

Citadel 7 has undergone a complete redesign using WordPress and Elementor, while the graphics were crafted with Photoshop. We included direct links to every online store that offers the book series, allowing readers to conveniently buy the paperbacks and audio books. Dynamic art galleries have been created to provide readers with a visual representation of the author’s creations and his profound thoughts. Additionally, there are audio video teasers available to give customers a taste of how amazing the books are before they decide to purchase. These audio videos feature the author’s own voice.
