A couple of months ago I got requested to deliver a website that would let the client publish online brochures. These brochures featured image slideshows with a description text, tags, categories etc. Many of us use WordPress not only as a blog platform but also as a multifaceted CMS. There are many features WordPress give that go beyond the blog format and that with the right adjustments and/or plugins, can be used to provide a complete solid solution. Thats why we choose to build this up on WordPress. At first I look around to see the wp plugins available but found that none of them suited the needs of this project. I wanted to keep this very simple and easy for the client, so the best solution I came up was to let client dump any image he wanted in the post’s content-box and deal with it later with regular expressions. This way I could manage the content and present it in a good looking slideshow I could style myself.
