Saddle and Spurs website
This site is based on a simplified WordPress 2011 template, to make it as easy as possible to manage. The template options have been reduced to single posts and pages, a blog view and an all-important photo gallery. The gallery is one of the strong points of the WordPress CMS – allowing the user to simply drag and drop photographs from their desktop into the post, WordPress does all of the donkey work of creating thumbnails and laying them out in the page.
The site features reactive design – permitting the page to scale between 300px and 1000px in width, with layout changes for narrower browser windows (narrow windows are usual for mobile devices, but if you have a desktop browser you can simply drag the window to re-size it and see how the layout changes). This feature is pretty much straight out of the WordPress template, keeping development costs down to a minimum, but still giving a nice, clean site that works across a range of platforms. As a nice addition, we’ve added two background graphics – in portrait and landscape formats – so that narrower windows have a more appropriately sized background image.
