One of the shifts I have noticed in small to medium business these days is that more and more are making the leap onto the web. And it’s products like WordPress are making that leap even easier with their fantastic, user friendly Content Management System which is FREE thus cutting a big chunk out of development cost for their website.
One of our latest clients to make the leap to WordPress is Mount Hiabs. WordPress has allowed us to quickly put together a site that they will be able to easily maintain themselves at a fraction of the cost that such a site would have been even a couple of years ago. The Mt Hiabs site is a fairly basic layout – no bells and whistles, but with WP as the backbone there is plenty of room to grow over time without having to sting the client with massive development costs.
Another great tool used in the site is the Thesis Theme. This theme is extremely comprehensive and gives a designer a great framework for applying heir design too. Thesis also incorporates great SEO tools as well options for customising navigation, media boxes and other whiz-bang features that you would normally have to write yourself or find plug-in’s for.
Just as a side note, the logo was a custom illustration by martian for Mt Hiabs.
