Today the new website for Creative Commons Netherlands has gone ‘live’.

The old design needed a make-over. It was not consistent with the Creative Commons mother organisation anymore and the technology behind could use some attention as well. The new site is completely built with the excellent open-source blogging (and nowadays ‘poor man’s’ content-management system) WordPress and can be easily updated.

The layout was inspired by the design of the Creative Commons mother organisation and implemented using the theme Mistylooks by Sadish Bala as a starting point. Sadish theme was according to the info at themes.wordpress.net influenced by ReOrganize. If you have a look at all these three ‘versions’ you’ll will notice that they are more different than alike yet all of these share something in common. Be it a piece of code, some particular clever way to deal with cross-browser compatibility or something less tangible such as the desire to craft a nice and useful design, that’s what Creative Commons is also about: sharing.

Burobjorn installed, configured, customized WordPress and implemented the design (the latter also had some love from Atypisch, especially in the Internet Explorer department). We hope the new site will be helpful in achieving the goals of Creative Commons Netherlands and we belief that Creative Commons Netherlands is ready  for the future with this new site.

Congratulations Creative Commons Netherlands!
