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.
