Team Human

2012 | Industry: Publishing

The authors of this collaborative novel wanted a small website, separate from their own, to showcase the new book. To get things up and running quickly and inexpensively, I wrote a WordPress theme based on _s and Bootstrap, with a color scheme based on the book’s cover. Since most of the content was already written for Justine’s site, this became the first real-world test of the Selective Importers plugin. (It worked great.)

The site also features an experiment in managing book reviews: a custom post type with fields for the reviewer’s name, publication, and URL; the review text; and a toggle for starred reviews. This makes it easy to display the reviews in a consistent style.
