I was approached by the client to produce a website for the clients business. For this project we decided to use Wordpress for the platform, then by using a Wordpress theme by WooThemes I built on that. Using the the Productom theme, I customised the themes colours to fit in with the clients logo.</p> <div id="attachment_147" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 440px"><p class="wp-caption-text">Product Marketing Manager UK</p></div> <p style="text-align: justify;"><a title="Project - Product Marketing Manager UK" href="http://www.productmarketingmanager.co.uk/" target="_blank">www.productmarketingmanager.co.uk</a></p> </article> </main></body></html>
