The Camden Woodcraft Folk got themselves an Expression Engine driven site, which went live yesterday. Built by yours truly, designed-by-commitee by myself and the redoubtable Ms Clare Turner...
A bit about the Woodies:
The Woodcraft Folk is an educational movement for children and young people, designed to develop self-confidence and activity in society, with the aim of building a world based on equality, friendship, peace and co-operation.
The Woodcraft Folk was founded in 1925 as an alternative to the military style youth groups of the time. We do not have a set uniform; instead our members can choose to wear a hoodie or t-shirts designed by our members. We are for boys and girls. Contrary to the myth, we are not a woodwork club. "Woodcraft" in this context meant the skill of living in the open air, close to nature. The Woodcraft Folk, like other youth movements, traces its origins back to Ernest Thompson Seton's pioneering work.
Our motto is "Span the World with Friendship".
Coming from a world where the Cubs and Scouts held sway (i.e. Berkshire) it's always surprising just how many people know all about these guys. Anyway, they are all good - find out more at www.camdenwoodcraftfolk.org.uk.
Still here?
The site is a simple build on top of EE, there's a few different blogs for each section - news, events, etc. As usual, the Leevi Graham TinyMCE plugin helps out a lot in giving the editors some (finely tuned) freedom. There's also a wee Freeform in there for contacting the group.
At the moment the build is very simple - just a small content managed site. The future possibly holds a lot more in the way of member areas, forums, mailing lists and all kinds of exciting geekery! Stay tuned...
