Winter Illuminations

SDAC Inc. provided:

  • XHTML/CSS programming
  • WordPress theme creation
  • Custom PHP programming
  • Custom JS programming

technologies used:

XHTML, CSS, WordPress, PHP, jQuery

front end:

The client wanted to add a WordPress blog to their existing site without the users knowing they were going from static pages to the WordPress site. I took their existing CSS and XHTML and created a simple theme so the change would be transparent to the user.

back end:

The only backend functionality for this was creating a javascript widget for the static pages that contained the latest blog posts Instead of putting in parser code on every page – I made a javascript widget so they could simply copy and paste one line of JS on each/any of their pages and output the recent blog posts.

lessons learned/random thoughts:

So many people look for a way to add WordPress to their existing sites without having different styles or a different look and feel and this a perfect example of how easy it can be implemented.
