David Emery OnlineDesign to finished
16 July 2007
It’s been quite a while since I’ve done a work update – mostly because at work my work (my work work) has been almost entirely internal business system that will never see public eyes. However, over the weekend I managed to squeeze in some other work (my home work):
It’s a simple little site for Caspian, a small London based label. I’ll be honest, there aren’t as yet any massively notable features – it is, as per normal, all based upon Textpattern which is now up to version 4.0.5, slightly allaying fears that it may have stagnated. That being said, it’s still a fairly feature anaemic release and from initial poking around it doesn’t seem to do anything too exciting. I’d really love a good admin interface redesign, for example – the yellow can be a bit tiring.
Of course, any mild Textpattern bashing needs to come with the caveat that it’s still my #1 choice for putting a simple CMS-powered site together, and was the key ingredient in managing to get the Caspian site from design to finished in about 3 hours. Maybe at some point I’ll have enough time not to have to turn sites around in a matter of hours, but I sincerely doubt it!
Anyway, hopefully more work soon – we’ve got some quite fun stuff at work work brewing, including a controversy-baiting Facebook Application…
