This edgeofmyseat.com article was written on Friday, April 18th, 2008
It has been a busy few months at edgeofmyseat.com and we’re in the process of updating the site to showcase some more of the things we have been doing recently, such as our work to develop the Greenbelt Festivals ticketing system.
In addition to several interesting projects we have also taken time to develop our own CMS platform. We’ve found that for a lot of the work we do, the requirements are complex enough to need custom development (as opposed to an off the shelf CMS) but do have some common features. As the majority of our work is for design agencies, another important requirement was that the CMS did not restrict the design of the site in any way. Therefore we have developed a CMS framework that acts as a platform for custom development - giving us a quick way to roll out the common features while also providing a framework for the development of custom elements. We have some projects now up and running on it and it has been fantastic to work with - the only annoying thing is that we didn’t get round to doing this sooner! You can read more about the CMS platform here, and of course get in touch if you would like to know more.
In other news we have a couple of places left on our Beginners CSS Training Course, it will be at least two months before we run another of these courses so if you do fancy learning CSS with us next Friday the 25th April, you can book online. Drew and I will also be at @media in London at the end of May where I will be speaking on a panel entitled Communicating Best Practices. @media is part of London Web Week and on the Tuesday of that week Drew is organising the Microformats vEvent, along with Frances Berriman.
