I finally finished…or rather cleaned up my demo area of Archetype Marketing.  I have always had an area that I upload programs like Drupal, Joomla, WordPress, and other open source programs so I can learn them and use them to test modules, etc. before installing them on client sites.  I also use the area to do walk-throughs.  Clients “think” they can do certain things and after they try it they make think otherwise.  The other thing that I started to do is to design templates that will work on several of the options so that if a client changes their mind and wants to use WordPress instead of Drupal for example then I don’t have to start all over again from a design standpoint.  Sometimes the best solutions is to combine a few options to so this helps with keeping the branding to go across the various platforms.

I’ve also loaded a few template examples across multiple platforms so you can see how they can be loaded on several options.  This is really going to help me and MAN…I am so glad I got this done.

Yippy for me.  Another thing off my 2010 list.  I’m smoking right now.
