kidpressingbuttons Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Hi all, I am moving my school away from their current 1&1 site and have a built an onsite linux wordpress server- I am currently using Catch Flames but would like something a bit more sleek. Anyone else using Wordpress for their school website? If so what themes are you using? 1
synaesthesia Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Mantra, works rather well and quite easy to manage.
BKGarry Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I use a theme called Metro, it is very much like windows 8. Although this was a premium theme Welcome to Northfleet Technology College is you want to look at it
synaesthesia Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 The responsiveness on that site is awful, sorry to say! (currently made worse by that popup) 1
LosOjos Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I use Montezuma on my personal website because it's extremely customizable: https://wordpress.org/themes/montezuma/ My site if you're interested: Geek Josh -
BKGarry Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 It is that popup causing most of it, but I was told to put it there so I didn't argue
MkII Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I like the look off Wallstreet and Vantage Oh and X if I could afford it!
garethEds Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Our LEA setup a WordPress MU installation and purchased a theme called Enfold - very powerful. The site page builder is brilliant. Here is a link: WordPress - Enfold - Responsive Multi-Purpose Theme | ThemeForest Our website is: Ysgol Gyfyn Gwyr | Gareth 1
MkII Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Love the site Gareth. Like how the language switcher is in the menu too. How did you do that? (I'm also at a welsh medium school). I find it strange that you have no news or achievements anywhere, or any upcoming events advertised. That's pretty much what our site is based around.
hardtailstar Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 We use Pagelines, but we have modified the site so much it doesn't actually look like it.
PotNoodleTech Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 I'm doing the same over the next month it would be great to hear from more wordpress users! Ps. you fine people hosting yourself or are you using wordpress.com hosting?
sparkeh Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 We use Atahualpa, though it doesn't look much like that anymore.
Norphy Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 We don't use Wordpress at work but I'm using the Minamaze theme on my personal site. It's quite nice.
garethEds Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Love the site Gareth. Like how the language switcher is in the menu too. How did you do that? (I'm also at a welsh medium school). I find it strange that you have no news or achievements anywhere, or any upcoming events advertised. That's pretty much what our site is based around. Oh gosh! - I've only just seen this reply to my post. Really sorry - I'm not sure why I've never replied. If you still need to discuss the language menu then please do send me a DM. I'm more likely to get it. Regards Gareth 1
synaesthesia Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Suffusion is also a wonderfully powerful and wonderfully free theme
tech_guy Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 We're using KingPower for the school site. I use Newspaper for my own blog.

tech_guy Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Hah, you'll be bored by it - it's all about my trips in my VW T5 with Mrs. T_G
garethEds Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Hah, you'll be bored by it - it's all about my trips in my VW T5 with Mrs. T_G As a T5 owner nothing would be further from the truth. GJE
tech_guy Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Monty Takes Them Camping | Adventures in a VW T5 Camper… then. Problem with thumbnails in posts which I'll get sorted one day.
MkII Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 I hired a T5 this summer. Hated the experience in the end, I think because it ended up being totally rushed, and something went wrong with the roof... it closed skewed one day and never went back right

Probably the roof piston on one side went. I've seen it happen when in very hot weather.

Go go team blue. We've got a Kombi in blue. Bought it in April last year. Not had the funds to start doing it up at all but we have had some great days out in it. GJE 1
