Oxford Bibliographies Online for OUP

We’re rolling out http://aboutobo.com this week!  It’s an information site for their forthcoming “Oxford Bibliographies Online”.  Based on the product site, we designed and produced the entire site in only a few weeks.  It’s even built using Wordpress as a CMS which will make it easy for the publisher to update and edit.

Here’s a snapshot:

Back from WordCampNYC & can’t wait for the next one

This weekend was spent geeking out in NYC at WordCamp. This was a first for me, but as Thicksole develops more and more on the WordPress platform, it was appropriate. I was completely blown away by the talent and openness of the developers. Plus the number of NEW Wordpress users that just wanted to get started and wanted to own their own content.

Here’s a fantastic interview of Matt Mullenweg, the founder of WordPress. It’s an hour and 42 minutes but worth it for anyone interested in WordPress, blogging, starting a business, or handling change and growth.

Around here, we’re looking forward to the 2.9 release and can’t wait to work with you on your projects!

Reusing Your Template

A few months ago we put together a Wordpress site for John Wiley & Sons with a custom template modeled after their main site.  Instead of a one and done job, they were able to reuse the design for multiple sites!

This does a few things —- carries a consistent brand across different products, keeps costs REALLY low, and cuts development time in half (back to the low cost again).  We love it and we’re glad to be a part of this new initiative.
