This is the website for EJ Jones, bagpiper and instrument manufacturer. I had created his original site years ago, and I recently updated it to a WordPress layout so that he could make his own updates easily. I am also using Weaver, an extremely versatile theme for WordPress. Some pages feature different constellations in the headers, mirroring the design for his business cards.
