Finished Matt Wreford Site

September 12th, 2008

I have completed the production and implementation of a new site design for Matt Wreford, which can now be viewed on the website at http://www.mattwreford.com/, with only a few significant changes to my initial idea.

I have based the site on Wordpress, using it as a Content Management System allowing for the quick adding of portfolio entries and amendments.

Essentially the pages have been used for each section with their own templates, and posts can be categorised so that they will fall into each of the three portfolio sections and with a bit of PHP will display in the right portfolio page.

The design itself was largely drawn out as vector graphics and features some PNG images with alpha channels to create a width-flexible front page design, where both sides of the content expand and resize accordingly, that needed to be acceptible for viewing in Internet Explorer 6.

Additionally I had to solve a number of issues for IE6 not understanding the minimum height and width CSS parameters.
