WordPress makeover for SMASH drama group
31 Dec
2009
SMASH (Solihull Methodists Acting and Singing in Harmony) are a music and drama group based at Solihull Methodist Church.
I’ve maintained a WordPress site for SMASH since 2006. The site contains a photo archive of past productions and a blog about the group’s activities, such as upcoming shows, rehearsal details and ticket booking.
I updated the site last month with a new information architecture, making better use of categories to organise and surface content across the site.
The site also has a fresh, new look more in keeping with the world of theatre. I used Justin Tadlock’s Options theme, a magazine-style theme well suited to community groups. I then tweaked the theme’s CSS, adding a new colour palette, type scheme and background image.
