I realized it had been a while since I last posted an update on my workings with the Go Green California Business site I was working on. Nope, the project didn’t die. 
We had an original launch date of February 9, but decided (much to my relief) to push that launch all the way to April 22. One week after tax day.
I finally managed to move the site onto a live server and filled it out a little more.
Last I left off, I had built most of the WordPress templates. Now it was time to actually start filling the site out with some content, add some plugins and put a little meat onto the site:
-
- Front Page
-
- About Us Page
-
- Resources Page
-
- Calendar (using Events Calendar plugin)
It was all working and looking good so far. (Whew!)
I even managed to install bbPress for the forum and style it correctly. (I was on a roll.)
In the process, I was also thinking about usability for our own staff, since we’re the ones who have to update the site. The main thing I had to figure out was how all the ads would get switched out. Then I discovered the Improved Include Page plugin, which was an absolute godsend. I was able to make the three advertising spots separate pages that were easy to update thanks to that plugin!
Now it’s just a matter of filling in yet more content and crossing my fingers. And lots and lots of testing and tweaking and such.
