Inter-A on WordPress
I finally moved the Inter-A website over to WordPress. There were a number of advantages to the move which I’ll outline below.
- Painless adding and editing of content.
- Multiuser editing (students, teachers)
- Easy plugins for extended functionality
- Save draft content for review
- Great SEO
- Administration time cut in half
On top of the switch to WordPress, I also updated the theme of the site. Its a more minimalist and elegant. I also decided to bring the resolution back down 800px width. In a world with such disparity in resolution, its best practice just to keep as many people as happy as possible. In this case that meant supporting 800x600ers who were complaining about the change ever since I made it. I tried the experiment, my audience just isn’t ready for it yet.
So far I’m very happy with the move. We’ll see how it goes and wether or not its easy enough for technically challenged students and faculty to deal with.
