Another WordPress Project Launched

March 13, 2011 by Jeff Hester 2 Comments

Most people, when they think of WordPress, assume it’s for hobbyists and bloggers, and the the design will look like a template. The Crossing proves this assumption wrong. The website isn’t a blog in the usual sense, but a great example of how WordPress can be used for pure content management with a unique style of its own.

For this project, my friends at PlainJoe Studios created the site design and architecture, with complete Photoshop mockups. Based on their design, I built a custom WordPress child theme using the StudioPress Genesis framework. The final product includes some great features, including a widgetized homepage, a dynamic video gallery fed via Vimeo, and slick access to the site map via the Quick Links in the header (give it a try!).

Best of all, the client can easily manage their own website content. And that is something to give praise for.

WordPress — it’s not just for blogging.

Do you need a website that works for you (instead of against you)? I can help. I have a network of design and developer resources that team together to deliver dynamic, high-performance websites. Our team is known as Room Five, and we’re here to help. Contact me for details.

      Thanks, Scott! The design credit goes to my good friends at Plain Joe. Their designs are definitely unique and fresh.
