What I have been working on recently is a re-construction of the FOCUS website, which I have explained here. I have been doing a bit of work on a new simpler FOCUS website using an existing content management software. Here is what I would like to achieve:
- Simple and clean interface.
- CSS driven, and avoid tabular layouts.
- XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
- Easy to maintain, easy to upgrade, easy to distribute work.
The new official website would be our public face, and the existing ‘community-oriented’ site would be retired into a few separated sites to continue provide services for existing FOCUS members and ex-FOCUS overseas. There will be no forum, no photo gallery, no sermon outlines – just plain information on who we are, what we do, and where we can be found. Here is a preview:
It is powered by TextPattern (which I reviewed here). I found quite suitable for this task – flexible in content creation, yet light enough to be fast on this poor old server.
