Savetodisc.net
The savetoDISC research network focuses on innovation in sound communities by documenting the qualities and relationships between music, meaning, cognitive and social benefit, health and well-being. Dr Steve Dillon is the founding director. The original brief for this design was to provide a simple to use and maintain Content Management System that could act as an ePortfolio. The original design for savetodisc.net utilises a simple two column page design with a right side-bar being employed to control navigational aids, whilst the left column would be used to display content. This design has helped Dr Dillon become a competent WordPress user and he was able to try experimenting with the editing, linking and commenting systems. Dr Dillon became so competent with WordPress that he eventually chose his own theme and uploaded it through the WordPress interface himself.
