DemoToDemo.com redesign

By Amy • October 19th, 2009

Andrea Walford’s Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator resource site DemoToDemo.com has undergone a transformation…

DemoToDemo.com is now a WordPress ‘magazine style’ content management system. Not only is this much easier to maintain than the HTML site that I created for her in ’08, the entire thing is actually a blog but the content is delivered to look like a website.

Unlike her old site, she now has an RSS feed and you can click on and subscribe (even by email). That way when she has a new planner to announce, you can get notification of the post via email (or feed) and the ‘post’ itself becomes the latest listing in the ‘Category’ header in a structure not unlike a page.

Andrea had wanted a change and so several months ago, had her banner redesigned by Michelle Laycock along with an entire matching ensemble that Michelle did for her (Twitter, etc.). However, she wasn’t decisive about what she wanted for final layout for the new DemoToDemo.com. Fate took that out of her hands when Frontpage Extensions on her site got corrupted last week and she was no longer able to update her site the way she was used to.

Not wanting to learn a new web authoring software, I brought her to the ‘dark side’ and into WordPress. This site is a bit more sophisticated than the custom theme I created for her at AndreaWalford.com, but just as easy to take care of.
