With the new year coming up, and registration opening early, the Detroit Free Press Marathon was in dire need of a newly designed website. They had since out grown their old website and was finding it difficult to update regularly. I decided to use WordPress to allow the Marathon group to update every single part of the site, without having to worry about breaking the entire site completely. I created a custom theme using custom post types, custom meta boxes, a handful of plugins and finally created a site they could easily update. The deadline for this site was about three weeks, from wireframe concept to a fully functioning WordPress site.
