Project Overview
Air Obama focuses on all aspects of President Obama.
Front End Description
I was given an existing theme to work with to make minor changes to (colors, background color, navigation button changes). The site owner took care of the rest.
Back End Description
I created a number of custom functions to handle content areas, featured stories carousel, permalink changes, custom excerpts, and custom author functionality. All in all – I made a number of customizations so that the site owner could control and manipulate his content exactly how he wanted.
Lessons Learned/Random Thoughts
I usually do a lot of front end changes/designs for WordPress sites but it was nice to also work almost soley on the functionality of a site as well. This site (as of March 2009) is just in it’s early days and I expect to see great things from it in the next coming months.
