I’m pleased to announce that one of Hogtown Consulting’s biggest projects to date is now live. A couple of weeks ago the Eye Weekly website was re-launched, and I was proud to have a significant part in that.

The layout and visual concept of the site was the work of Tim Emery, of Visible Media, who produced a really nice looking design under incredibly tight timelines. Pretty much everything else about the development of the site was my work, from coding the templates and migrating 10,000+ archive stories to designing and implementing the workflow process used for updating the website every week.

Overall I’m really happy with the site, as always with a new website there are some niggling problems to work out and some pieces I’d have done slightly differently with the benefit of hindsight. I think it turned out really well, particularly considering the extremely tight timelines, 2 months from first meeting to live.

More importantly that what I think, it seems like the Eye Weekly team are really happy too. The main goals were to modernise the website while providing a platform for some interesting developments in the near future, and those goals have been achieved. Stay tuned for phase 1.1.
