Project Goals: Site creation, web 2.0

For the past two years my husband has coordinated a charity football match which brings together ex-players from the ranks of Scottish Junior Football for the benefit of good causes.  I seem to be the default web services provider!  This year, credit crunch and all, getting corporate sponsorship is harder than ever, so we made an effort to make the site as professional as possible, while still retaining the fun spirit of the day.

WordPress’s original foundations as a blogging mechanism favour this kind of site particularly well.  As a budget-less project, I adapted a free template with a football themed design and SIFR font replacement.  Categories and tags lets him manage and update the site himself with ease.  I used a Flickr plugin to let him integrate all of last year’s match photos with no work at all.

If you are interested in being a corporate sponsor for the match, with opportunities starting at just £50, just get in touch.
