Babyology
Babyology is an immensely popular blog for parents (and other people who have babies and tiny humans in their homes). They had managed to outgrow their server, their content management system (Joomla), and their design all in the same month, so they gave us a call.
We gave them a flashy new design, migrated all of their posts and comments safely from Joomla (yuck) to WordPress (yay!), and housed them safely in their own dedicated server.
Babyology has some great advanced features: A database-powered “Product Chooser” which allows parents to comparison-shop for Prams, Cots and Highchairs, and a Wishlist which lets readers save articles to a list which can be sent to their friends.
Babyology also have a vast subscriber base for their newsletter, so we hooked them up with a custom solution for Campaign Monitor which allows them to easily send out excerpts and thumbnails from a selection of recent posts.
