Property of Bristol
This one was a year in the making, and its been a pleasure every step of the way. Working with Rich of Beef and POB fame, the Property of Bristol site is live! There where a few twists and turns in the development process, starting as a Ruby on Rails App pulling in RSS Feeds, and ending as a custom Wordpress development, pushing the platform to its limits. Apart from an absolutely banging design by Rich, there are some awesome features in this bad boy, including:
- Auto re-sizing and position-ing of uploaded images, making less hassle for the POB boys
- Fully widgetized sidebar, giving total control to the client
- Skining and development of Bigcartel Shop, it fits right in with the rest of the site
- Podcasting tools
- Awesome flash homepage by Jimmer
- All content (links, posts, everything!) controlled though Wordpress
I’m really please with how this one turned out, and its been a massive learning experience for me. However, this isn’t just a build it and leave it type of site, and there are plans afoot for tidying up, new features and all sorts going down. I’m going to experiment and see what else I can get Wordpress to do, and see how far I can push the blog system.
