Apologies for not blogging

Just a quick apology for my silence over the last three weeks. I’ve been rather busy doing some design work, which you can see over here. Full credit for the project, however, has to go to the party staff, in particular Siân Berry, Gary Dunion and Jon Nott, who have co-ordinated the project and drew up the page plans.

We turned this round in an amazingly short time, and the other credit for this has to go to MODx CMS, a great open source CMS package, which has proven excellent and very flexible. Its power lies in being very extensible, but from my point of view, the fact you can implement your designs easily from scratch without having to bodge through code was the biggest reason why this was a quick project, along with some hard behind the scenes work porting the content.

Like any good Green Party project, local and grassroots activity is of great importance, and the press team have taken a strong emphasis on promoting our local and regional activity, which should give traffic to our local sites a welcome boost.
