Nowadays, people love things to be done in second, like assemble your own furniture in minute – think of IKEA. Or, makes coffee drink with 3-in-One packing. Now, deliver a website with design and CMS engine ready – TemplateMonster.
Through this project, I realized that Thailand will be another new hub for GEW (Global Entrepreneur week) in Asia. So far, there was Gew Malaysia, Gew Indonesia etc. So I was going to work on this portal ‘Gew Thailand’.
After a few discussions with client and expected GEWThailand.com had to be ready as soon as possible due to a big event coming soon on November, so that client could start inviting partners and participants to register. Well, was it possible to be up and ready with design plus CMS engine running in 2 weeks time?
From pass experiences, most efficient way and make things easier, preferable towards those ready templates such as TemplateMonster.com. Another issue was about which platform to be used? Since GEWThailand’s contents were not comprehensive. Well, personally still prefer WordPress rather than Joomla or Drupal. Coz I found it much more user friendly for clients.
Picked a few templates, which personally think it was suitable for GEWThailand structure such as Events listing, feature articles etc. After clients glanced through and gave some explanation, and quickly make decision and go ahead for the purchase.
After familiar with the template, found out few missing part such as events listing has to be customized and other minor modification on the original template. Luckily managed to get some helps from our internal developer who was quite experience in WordPress.
Week 1, pick the template and run on the hosting sites. Manage the contents and such as new menus, new slider.
Week 2, customized the events listing and registration form which based on Joget Workflow instead of putting efforts on the existing wordpress form wizard. Touched up the final contents and files, finally it has ready to showcase.
So, what was exactly my task? To complete the mission I have to be a Designer, Project Manager, Web Master and Quality Controller!
This is the my first blog and first posting.. Firstly, to appreciate the helps from SKY. Without him I won’t be having my first “Tekan-Perkataan” (WordPress la_)
