G3 Global is a SAP Channel Partner specialising in the implementation of SAP ERP solutions in the Media industry.

The old site was built using static php pages, had a dated design and was disjointed in a few areas. So, we set out to improve the site by putting more emphasis on our products, the introduction of a fresh design, a flatter hierarchy, a blog, and an events section.

The design was done by “Andy, the chief coffee drinker” at Caffeinehit Ltd . I have to say that he did a great job after lots of Starbucks Grande latte’s and a few design workshops in our offices.

I did the implementation of the site and for those of you that care…yes the geeks , I used wordpress as the CMS solution along with a number of plugins which I either downloaded and hacked or wrote myself.

Overall I really enjoyed working on the site and I think it has been well received by the rest of the company. Now all we need to do is get everyone blogging…so I’m going to have to answer questions like – “what’s a blog?”, “how do i put a list into a post?”…blah, blah, blah

Besides Andy, thanks also go out to Chris and Drew for their hard work and guidance. Good effort lads!

Hats off to everybody involved in the new release! It has truly become a fantastic blogging platform and although I have always been a huge advocate for Wordpress, this release makes it much easier for me to convince people how good it actually is.

The usability of the admin interface is so slick and easy to use that I have completely fallen in love with it. So, if you’re using another blogging platform do yourself a favour and get Wordpress installed – I guarantee that you won’t look back.

Below is the screencast of some of the new functionality – it’s awesome!!
