Magic at Hand was built using WordPress as its content management backend (PHP). This was a fairly quick build, once you understand WordPress’s templates and functions. I’ve been customizing WordPress templates for about two years now, or so. This site was a little bit tricky at first, trying to figure out how to make the light-beams appear and shine down over multiple elements.
WordPress ended up being a good route to go with this, b/c WordPress (or any CMS) gives content updating control to the client. With Magic at Hand, we were also looking for an easy way for the client to post videos from MySpace, YouTube, Google, etc. Thanks to the seemingly unending plugins for WordPress, we were able to accomplish that for the client using WordPress Video Plugin.
