WordPress has many great plugins here are a few we have recently used in projects and thought they were worth highlighting.

YouTube with Style

This plugin allows you to grab your videos and their descriptions right from you tube with just a username and password. You can format them in a widget to appear on your sidebar or in the content of your website. The great thing about this plugin is it will dynamically load your youtube videos without the user having to write any special code making it easy for the novice website user to maintain their own website youtube content. Brighten Your View used this plugin on Dave Calabrese’s Voice-over website. Working with Out-source Communications to implement the design using WordPress.

Cforms

This plugin allows you to create custom forms to be embedded in a website page. You can choose to have the information stored in the database for tracking the use of each form you create. It is very flexible and allows the end-user to upload files to your website if needed. Brighten Your View has used this plugin extensively. A recent example is Diagnostic Radiology Associates. Two different forms were created to request an examination and request your xrays to be send to the patient. Brighten Your View worked with Out-Source Communications to implement the design using WordPress.

Platinum SEO Pack

This plugin allows for meta-tags and title tags and meta descriptions to be created for each page and post created. This allows the user to create unique title tags and meta data per page and easily change it if necessary without having to change an entire template. Brighten Your View uses this plugin on all websites we implement.
