Here’s what I’ve been up to.

I’ve been (finally) putting some real time into the brand new company website. I’m really excited about this because I believe the company could not just use but NEEDS a modern web presence with a solid ground for expandability. The company has been exponentially taking on new projects and goals. We are launching a lot of new services and we need a website that can express the new developments.

I normally don’t blog about work but I wanted to write about my plans behind this project. It’s not just the design that is being overhauled; it’s the way the content is put together and the ease of updating everything.

I’m going to run the entire website off of WordPress but I want it to be completely transparent. The design isn’t going to look or feel like a blog when I’m done with it. WordPress will only act as the backbone, the CMS behind the scenes. All of the content will be movable and changeable with just a few clicks of the mouse. Ideally I’d like it to be so easy to edit that any of the staff would be able to update the content and I think despite me using it outside of its primary purpose, WordPress will easily deliver.

I put the screenshot up there but I really don’t have much to show off just yet. I’d like to make this into a small series of posts and actually jot down some real project notes with the various hacks and plug-ins that will be used to pull this off. We’ll see what happens.
