Warren Buckley
Warren Buckley is a web developer who specialises in using the
Umbraco CMS platform to build content managed websites for Xeed in
Norway. I run a blog called Creative Web
Specialist, where I mainly write tips and tutorial articles
around Umbraco.
I have teamed up with ex-collegue Sam Grady to help me design
the new version of CWS as he produces wonderfully sexy designs for
the web. If you have seen my previous version/s of CWS you will
know that my design skills are far from stunning.
I decided to create this website starter site nicknamed CWS
(Creative Website Starter site) as a learning tool to help you
understand how all the elements of a site work together in
Umbraco.
From this NEW CWS package comes the
following:
- Obviously a BRAND NEW spanking design from
ex-collegue Sam Grady of G-72
- A focus for this site to be used to help teach new users to the
Umbraco CMS platform.
- .NET usercontrols written in C#
- XSLT & .NET code heavily commented to help understand what
is going on.
- With supporting documentation coming in the near future.

Sam Grady
Sam Grady, me, is a graphic designer. I loves graphic design.
Great graphic design and simple solutions makes this man very
happy. Photography is also very close to my heart and I'd like to
be better, so I practice a lot and annoy people with my
requests.
I haven't got a blog, yet, don't Twitter and cancelled my Facebook
account as I felt uncomfortable with people knowing my business.
Anyone else feel that way? I do, however, have a Flickr account, so
go check it out: www.flickr.com/photos/mrgrady
I also have my own business, G72, which has a website that
desperately needs updating. Also, as of today (03/03/09), it's
currently down due to inept web hosts. Hopefully it won't be if you
want to take a look: www.g-72.co.uk
Regarding this project, Warren asked me if I wanted to design his
website starter package for the fantastic Umbraco CMS, which I
jumped at the chance to do. Hopefully you'll find the design
appropriate and the package very useful, as that's what we really
want from this project.
Finally, Warren says the layout is work in progress and I have a,
typically fussy, list of designer layout requests that I've asked
Warren to do, but time being what it is, these changes won't be
made on version 2.0, so if you spot anything, do mail the man as
we'll be compiling a list of tweaks to be made.
Enjoy.
