My brother Mike Sutton is a candidate for Mayor of Beaufort, South Carolina. When it came time to take his campaign to the web, he turned to Villagewerx for site design, development and advice.
The new site went live last week at www.suttonformayor.com and features a fixed-width Blueprint CSS grid with ExpressionEngine Core doing the content management chores. This project was fairly straightforward to code, using just two weblogs to contain content, with custom Categories providing topical aggregation. There are eight unique page templates that draw upon a handful of embedded sub-templates and cascading stylesheets.
Content including photography was provided by Mike’s campaign team and I prepared custom Illustrator graphics and some timely Photoshop services. While I’m very happy to project that Mike will beat his competitors on November 4, it’s already an uneven match. His competition will never match ExpressionEngine’s power and flexibilty.
