What do you think of the new wordpress theme?
I'm so happy with the new blog theme!
Thanks to the talent of our designer friend, Damian, and software development skillz of our Indian software partners Daffodil Software the whole Listingslab Productions package is coming together.
It's been a long, hard job over the summer and inter-season but the work jag is coming to an end now. With an original design coded into compliant XHTML, a drupal and a wordpress theme, all that remains is to roll out the design using a whitelabel approach to all the sites I've got in my portfolio.
There's a lot of 'em....
- www.living-websites.eu
- www.chamonix-green-white.com
- www.papillonchamonix.com
- www.live-the-good-life.eu
to name just a few of the new ones.

Funky Foods Chamonix
Great news for the Chamonix Valley today. Some very good friends have been working towards setting up a new delicatessen in town for a while. A husband and wife team consisting of a very talented chef, and an equally talented hostess have decided to stop hosting chalets and sailing yachts and open up a shop here in Chamonix.
After a few delays (setting up a business in France is always a pain), our friends picked up the keys to their shop yesterday. Funky Foods will be opening for the winter season this year after an extensive re-fit (the shop used to be a hairdressers).
I'm glad to say that Listingslab Productions will be doing the Funky Food Chamonix website and in my excitement I have even come up with a logo. A proper designer will be working on the brand in the coming months, but it's a start.
I'm stoked about this venture and happy to be involved as the web-geezer. I've been building up a portfolio of Chamonix based websites for a while now. I'm developing an Internet Marketing Service at the moment. I'm using free open source technologies such as Drupal and wordPress to rapidly create effective marketing sites for small businesses at a very low cost. It's a business model referred to as Professional Open Source, and the initial research and development has shown great results.
Here's a short list of some of the Chamonix Valley based websites we are currently running our beta service on:
Le Delice Restaurant
All Mountain Performance
The Savoy Bar
Alpine Ski And Golf
Chamofix
The aim is to be adding to this list over the summer. We want to remove the cost barrier to creating a small business website in the first place and instead create long-term marketing partnerships with these companies.
