One cannot do big projects all the time, so here two small Wordpress sites I did recently.
One is vidicon.de – a small tv and film production companythat so far has done mostly documentarys and is now entering the market for (if that is the correct word) corporate video. I admit I don’t like the splash screen myself, plus they are not quite finished entering their project data so some of the pages look a little empty, but I still think it’s nice that these days you can build a video site from scratch within two or three days. The site uses Wordpress and the More Fields-Plugin (probably the most useful of WP plugins).
Exihibit B is a page for a golf tournament (German Golf Championship for girls, which takes place at the Golf- und Land-Club Berlin-Wannsee e.V.) which is also a test of sorts for a new design – with Panorama 3000 I’m working on their new website). The site uses no plugins except for Frank Bültges Adminize (Frank Bültge is one of the german Wordpress heroes, and adminize is a great plugin to strip the WP backend of all unnecessary and potentially confusing options).
And soon I will be doing a Joomla projectagain, this time for the Centrum Judaicum in Berlin ( a museum in the building of the old synagogue at Oranienburger Strasse). This is good news for mod_placehere users, since I will probably have to revise and improve the module code for the project.
Thanks alot Eike
That means that I would have to build a WP template that gets the info from the custom fields + the post info (image + text)
could you send me the template anyway just so I can see how the post content is directed to the template page?
Thanks again
Dan

Hi Dan,
this is a category template – every “block” with image, title and additional info is a single post. The stuff in italics and the url from the image come from custom fields (I use the more fields plugin to manage custom fields). Every “block” sits in a floated div so they line up, and all the blocks sit in a containing element that’s just wide enough for three “block”, so they wrap after each third block.
I’d send you the template, but that would help only if you had your custom fields set up in the same way as I have, but I hope the description above gives you some idea how this is done.

Hello
could you please explain how you built the category pages like this for example:
http://www.vidicon.de/themen/industriewerbung
does it take the content from a post and present it?
Thanks
Dan
