Me again, just a couple of things:
mistermik: 'good idea - shame it looks just a bit to much like build's blog' — this project has been in development in our spare time for almost 5 months. Build's blog launched less than 2 weeks before ours and I actually felt there as enough of a point of difference between the two for that not to be an issue. The similarities being we both use Georgia?? Please...ihavenomouth: 'It's a shame it looks like just another blog then, couldn't you have pushed the envelope a bit more in terms of presentation?' As you will have discovered (from my article) we are all designers working full-time within studios. This project HAS to take place in our own time with strict practical constraints in terms of programming and budget. In an ideal world we may well have 'pushed the envelope' a little more, but unfortunately that wasn't an option.
There are of course other advantages of using a traditional template, one being it's familiarity — by working with WordPress in the way we have the audience can concentrate on the content instead of being distracted by an unfamiliar layout/design.
I would say however this is Version 1.0 — who knows how the site will evolve (some tweaks in terms of usability are already taking place). Once again, thank you for your time and comments.
