My newest project, MadreMonte.com.au was released last night. This was a great project, as working with the band members was loads of fun and they allowed for lots of creative freedom.

The original site was made with Flash, and all text within were images so links to external websites such as Facebook and twitter were un-copyable – you had to memorise the URI.

Here is the original website:

The site was out of date, not viewable in MobileSafari and most of all – hard for the band to update content by themselves.

My goal for the site was to enable the band members to easily add gigs and other content themselves. My immediate thought was to use WordPress – I know and use WordPress for this site, plus it’s easy to theme.

The website was made in 4 weeks of casual work, according to Billings.app I clocked 26 hours during design and development phase.

Below is a list of all software and code used to create the site:
Core

• WordPress
• Events Manager WordPress plugin
• WP Super Cache WordPress plugin

CSS

• Eric Meyer’s CSS Reset
• 960 Grid System

Images

• Glyphicons
• Social Network Icon Pack
• Calendar Icon
