New Forest Observatory Goes Live
August 19, 2007
The New Forest Observatory website has gone live (August 2007) and we have been receiving some really good comments about it. There is still some work to do cleaning up some of the pages but it is still well worth taking a look at.
Greg Parker and Noel Carboni wanted a website where they could showcase their deep-sky images and maintain a sense of communication with the rest of the imaging community. However, they did not want to replicate the various forums that they are already members of.
At the suggestion of Invisage Design, the New Forest Observatory website running a mix of Blog and CMS managed pages. This allows Greg and Noel to maintain some static content and mix in regular news updates, projects, book reviews and the like. Lists of posts to categories are also shown on the relevant CMS managed pages (for example: exhibition announcements are listed on the about page).
To keep costs down this website uses the following technologies:
- WordPress
- MySql
- IIS6
- Windows Server 2003
The visual style is based upon the Mandigo theme from OneHertz design. This theme is extremely popular and very easy to customise.
Invisage Design is providing all of the hosting, DNS and email requirements for New Forest Observatory.

You have created exactly the style of website we required for the New Forest Observatory, thank you Invisage Design!
It is now the beginning of January 2008 and we already have over 11,000 hits - due in large part to the way you have structured the site - excellent!
