Description:
this is a personal project.
I had the idea to showcase premium CMS templates as an affiliate partner.
So I reasearched relevant keywords with low competition in order to quickly rank un the search engines.
After 3 weeks I have about 50 visitors a day.
I designed the custom wordpress theme, based on the thematic framework.
I used Jquery for the screenshot zoom functionality and the widget effects.
I created a custom widget to display my latest tweet.
the website looks OK in Internet Explorer 6.
It's a tableless design of course and is mostly compliant with W3c specifications, except from some code generated by plugins.
I use custom fields for the screenshots, custom index and category loops.
