I wrote the HTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP for this custom WordPress theme for MuchMore.ca (re-branded from Much More Music). This project involved using WordPress as a full site CMS rather than just a blog platform. The site even features a blog within a blog (Daily Fix).

I cut the HTML & CSS and turned it into a custom WordPress theme for the Much Music blog. The site was designed by Nick Fox. We had to import all of the old content from a very old Movable Type install; no easy task since we had to maintain SEO as the blog receives tens of thousands of page views some days.

A custom WordPress theme for MuchMusic’s The New Music. Designed by Nick Fox, this theme includes a heavily customized home page that displays several posts in a variety of different ways rather than the usual 10 blog posts and a “previous posts” link.

Some highlights include a different home page template, different colour highlights for each category and a totally different work category layout.
