Time - Real Clear Politics

SDAC Inc. provided:

  • XHTML/CSS programming
  • Moveable Type to WordPress Migration
  • WordPress theme
  • Custom PHP programming

technologies used:

XHTML, CSS, Moveable Type, WordPress, WordPress.com (Hosting), PHP

front end:

I used the existing TIME Inc. Moveable Type templates for the site above and from those I created WordPress templates that would display everything so that the readers would not know there was any difference on the backend. I also tightened up the CSS to make sure load time would be reduced.

back end:

It was very important to the editors at TIME that every content area of this site could be easily modified at any time using the WordPress admin. Because of this, I worked with them to make sure they had control of each section by using as many of the WordPress functions, backend admin areas, and sidebar widgets as possible.

lessons learned/random thoughts:

This was my second Moveable Type theme migration for them and it went very smoothly. (WordPress VIP hosting migrated the data).
