I recently had the pleasure of working with MN Resorts as a consultant to assist in building search functionality into their site. After taking a look at what we were up against I decided to use Wordpress to develop the new site.
Now I know Wordpress is not a traditional CMS, but traditional is not my style. Right now, Wordpress operates mostly as a blogging platform. However, in the future, I think that Wordpress will begin to move more in the direction of a general CMS, which is why I thought this would be a great jump start for adding future value to the MN Resorts site.
Essentially, all of the resort listings will end up as “Posts” in Wordpress with categories and tags attached for easy search-ability. All other pages in the site will fall into Wordpress “Pages.” Once the new site is built, MN Resorts will have a very simple interface to work with to make edits as resort listings change.
This is just another creative use of technology to deliver quality and effective results to Backlit Creative clients. If you need some assistance in developing a Wordpress blog, or have other “non-traditional” way of using the software, I’d love to hear about them!
