Ocean Renewable is a trade association centered around renewable environmental resources. Its member-driven and the main focus of the site design was to highlight legislative and policy news in order to keep members informed. These updates fall into various categories so OREC needed to be able to have several of these categories on the main page. Using the Revolution City theme allowed me to make the site both visually pleasing and informative. Using various shades of blue worked great with the site’s topic as well as the OREC logo. It also needed to be easy for the site owners to update and members to navigate. Since the design was completed, the owners have been able to change the Featured Video, add new pages and categories, and incorporate their Ning site into the design on their own. As you can tell from their blog archives, the OREC site was dormant for several months in 2008. When I began working on this project, the site was using WordPress 2.3 even though the current version of WP at that time was 2.6! OREC now has a completely up-to-date and active site.
