As of mid January 2023 the basic webdev wordpress site has been setup using the basic so far unmodified “twenty twenty-three” site template. The address which appears to be publicly accessible is https://webdev.vk2rh.org.
A number of posts and pages from the existing site at vk2bv.org have been migrated across to the webdev site and a few new ones created.
Alongside this activity there’s been a cursory survey of the amount and types of content on the existing site, including the various plugins delivering some of the key interactivity to the site, such as managing memberships and our shop presence.
A number of documents have been created as pages which are accessible under the general heading “The makeover”. These track some of the findings and preliminary conclusions about the work to be done as they are discovered.
One important technical task is to identify the plugins that remain essential to the ongoing site and to develop a plan to migrate these (assuming that they probably can’t be running at the same time on both sites?). This task will need to be carried out by club members like Alex who have been in charge of this functionality.
I plan to migrate more of the static website content from the existing site and reproduce as much of the original website navigation as possible on the webdev site.
The site has a very vanilla appearance at the moment as the focus is firmly on organisation and function of the site, rather than visual layout, or ‘look and feel’.
