The Historic Garden League is a non-profit in Monterey, California dedicated to preserving historic gardens in the area. We decided to use WordPress as a content management tool so that the organization could easily add photos of their gardens, update their members about events, and change the content on their site.

For me, the most exciting part of this web site was the huge amount of photos the Garden League was able to supply of their work. I tried to feature as many of these as I could on the site, which led to using a rotating image gallery on the front page.

A great logo had already been created, and although it was a difficult size to fit in the header, I featured it on the front page and mirrored the logo image in the background at the top and bottom of every page on the site.

This theme was completely custom, designed from the ground up in Photoshop, built into valid XHTML/CSS, and then diced into WordPress.
