Last fall, Andrew Morrison of Urban Diner fame contacted Tiny Bites Consulting to help out on his new vision: an online magazine on Vancouver food, culture, life, and style.

Over a series of dinner meetings and meet-ups at the lounge in Boneta, we hammered out the specs for a WordPress-powered site with a heavily customized Revolution theme.  Scout had a number of goals, such as:

• Building a large, loyal, local readership
• Encouraging online conversations amongst readers and visitors
• Maximizing ad revenue potential

In order to accomplish Scout’s objectives, Tiny Bites Consulting:

• Helped in purchasing scoutmagazine.ca and hosting the site on Bluehost
• Set up WordPress for site management and phpBB for forum management
• Implemented the Scout’s bold, media-rich design to spec using PHP, HTML, and CSS
• Created dynamic sidebars to allow adspace to be unique for the default view and each of the 4 topic categories
• Showed how Twitter can be used to promote articles, distribute polls, attract a wider audience, and encourage conversation
• Tested that the site looked good in the major browsers, mobile devices, and didn’t break in Internet Explorer 6

But don’t take our word for it.  Check out the site for yourself.
