This site is a news aggregator for OurLocality.Org sites and is based on the Hybrid Framework. A few tweaks to make the theme distinctive and hey presto, we were done. And a couple of days to come up with a half decent design (the cutting board alludes to the news snippets being cut & pasted together) … well not everything is easy.

Sometimes you will need a microsite for advertising purposes. WordPress is ideal. We created this one in next to no time. Borrowing from an existing idea, we implemented a drop down menu, while using cufon substitution, and a sprinkling of CSS3, which alas won’t work on all browsers (anyone like to guess which one?). It is hosted on OurLocality.org to show off what is possible.

Is a WordPress multisite installation intended for community projects / publishing. You can have your project or campaign up and running in a matter of minutes, just like on WordPress.com, but without feeling so remote. It is comprehensively featured (local projects get a free domain mapped to the site), with a range of functionality available to paying users. The standard free website toolbox is pretty good, though you are currently stuck with single and simple, if elegant, customisable theme. For a mere £24 you can get a bundle more features, and string of other themes, custom css and responsive support. Pay us a decent retainer and we will even feed the cats.
