PROGRESS UPDATE:
After the client meeting on Wednesday 7/13, we are getting closer to moving beyond planning and getting into the "meat-and-potatoes" of the project. WHAT LEARNED / STEPS TO BE TAKEN:
1. I have begun research into plugins, and focused initially on the most important one, an image slideshow plugin. Beyond the 3 reviews I posted, I also plan to do extra credit reviews on WP plugins for Flickr and Picasa, to see if those might be a better fit for the client.
2. Ty and I will also need to find plugins for the following: video uploading (preferably through Vimeo), an Events Calendar (integrating w/ Google Cal?), an interactive map (w/ Google Maps?), a newsletter subscription plugin, a contact form plugin (Contact 7?), and a plugin to integrate form input with Google spreadsheets (for easy collection of information).
3. Other possible plugins include: a Twitter feed, and a FAQ page.
4. Mike Sinkula recommended that instead of plugins in some cases, like a homepage spotlight, he'll opt to use custom fields instead. This is new to me, so this will take some research.
MY TOTAL TIME TO THIS POINT: 15.75 hours.
