Project Objective

Kris Klassen, principal of Working Design, wanted to create a really good wordpress based artists portfolio template. He wanted to make sure it had cutting edge photo gallery functionality, while preserving ease of use and not straying far from the familiar blog format.

My Involvement

I was involved with this project from its beginning, and as such, I was able to make contributions to the overall concept of the project, as well as to its design and technical implementation. It is primarily a wordpress theme, but has some very flexible gallery functionality built right in from scratch. The best part of the gallery is that it uses a WordPress Custom Post Type, instead of the usual method of dealing simply with uploaded files, or the media gallery. This enabled us to create a gallery experience without sacrificing the ability to have a new post for each piece in the gallery with its own unique url and text content.
