Microfinance Conference: Launched
July 13, 2010
After receiving the website design in form of Photoshop files (PSDs), a custom template was created and a Joomla site was setup within a couple of days. The site is fully XHTML compliant with a centered drop-down menu and works across all major browsers. Publishers can add/modify articles and pages directly through the website without having to login as administrators.
A couple of key Joomla plug-ins were used in order to speed-up the development process:
- Linkr – Makes it easier to link to other articles, files, pages, within an article.
- Extended Menu – Much more flexible and robust that the menus that come with Joomla. Allows for easy customization via CSS.
- CK Forms – After getting past a few bugs this plug-in makes form creation very easy to manage.
If you plan to be in the vicinity of Toronto at the beginning of October, you may consider taking a part in the conference. The idea behind microfinance is not only noble, but also practical, and needs all the support it can get.
