DrinkBoston
LOGO | DESIGN | CSS | HTML | CMS
DrinkBoston.com is a blog devoted to where and how to drink well in the Boston area. Lauren Clark, a freelance journalist and former bartender and brewer, has been maintaining the site for three years and decided things needed freshening up. Armed with inspiration from Vanity Fair and Playboy circa the 1950s, we upgraded an existing WordPress install with a custom theme and some custom scripting, allowing for a more dynamic user experience. Cufon was used sparingly on the headlines. Cheers!
