This was a HUGE undertaking, but we finally launched yesterday. This entire site was done by two of us.. front end designer and back end WP programmer . . and of course the help of css-tricks and diggin. EVERYTHING is populated via WP.
Take a look at it and give us some feedback. Look at the footer for a link to the old version of our site.. to see the progress we made.
thanks.. looking forward to hearing your comments!

I really like it. It’s clean and simple

April 29, 2011 at 7:20 pm #48617DogsGhostMemberHa so bizarre, my two-person team is starting almost the exact same project for a .org based in Michigan. Site looks great, content-focused with a modern feel.
Only thing that strikes me a bit odd is the blog link having target=”blank”.
Also you get horizontal scroll on 1024 monitors!!May 3, 2011 at 10:35 am #47878maroParticipant@Josh “If you don’t mind my asking, how did you put together the artist area? Do the artists have control over their little page? “
Technically we could allow the artists to update their section, but we are assuming the quality control for now. The page utilities a Gallery plugin for the images, which manages and sizes them automatically, and the copy is just styled. Everything is put in through a “page”.
@DogsChost: yeah, we need to work on the blog, It’s old and needed updating. The “higher ups” wanted in to be targeted in a blank page. And we are trying to narrow down the width a bit.
Thanks for the comments guys.

One observation… I was trying to scroll down the page for a few seconds before I realized I was actually moving through the slides in the slideshow. A bit awkward/confusing in my opinion.
That said – very well done.

thanks for pointing this out. It was bothering me as well. We fixed it so it doesn’t scroll with your mouse.!
@ccc630 Thanks for the compliments! -
