technologies used:

XHTML, CSS, WordPress , PHP, CSS

front end:

The client approached me with a mockup of the site and I created the WordPress theme (CSS/XHTML/PHP logic).

back end:

This was a very straightforward build for one of my clients that I have provided WordPress Mu support for over the last year. The theme uses WordPress widgets so the client can easily add/delete content from the sidebars.

lessons learned/random thoughts:

The new version (1.5.x of WordPress Mu is really great to work with.

Chicago Sports Talk (bbPress and WordPress MU Project)

SDAC Inc. provided:

XHTML/CSS programming
Custom web design
bbPress theme customization
WordPress MU theme customization
WordPress MU and bbPress plugins customization

technologies used:

XHTML, CSS, WordPress Mu, PHP, CSS, bbPress

front end:

The client approached me wanting a grey and red three column design and I put the rest together. This site is going to be loaded with image posts so the themes for bbPress and WordPress needed to be minimal and non-distracting to the content. The client also wanted something that would be easily customized per blog in the future so I put together a theme that would be easy to modify in the future to only require a few changes for a new color scheme. The theme for the WordPress Mu site and the bbPress site use the same basic CSS so global updates are also easy and quick.

back end:

This project uses bbPress for the forums and then is integrated with WordPress Mu for a single sign on solution. There are plugins used in both bbPress and WordPress Mu to tie the two sites together as well as to aggregate content between sites.

lessons learned/random thoughts:

We are based in Chicago and love Chicago sports and we look forward to following the news and stories that come out of this site!
