Rust en Vrede

December 19, 2008

I pushed Wordpress to the max with this project turning it into a nice CMS for Rust en Vrede with the help of Flutter and a couple of custom php goodies here and there (Thanks Steve). This project was a collaboraton job between myself, Lizane Connoway, Freda and Stephen Gleave. Collab is so much fun!

Freda started off by providing us with the initial design direction and I took over from there creating all the pages for the client to sign off. After signoff I created XHTML/CSS templates of the pages and then together with Steve, I built the Wordpress backend using various plugins and custom scripts.

The interesting part was that I got to flex my Photography mucles a bit since the client also required photography for their website and print. A couple of early morning trips and viola, we had all he pics needed to dress the site nicely. Lizane provided art direction for the photography as well as filling the shoes of client liason.

This was a really interesting project with so many people collaborating and working towards a final product that tuned out pretty damn good. Rust en Vrede get a lot of requests through their website and Im sure they are quite pleased with the results.
