We originally built the site for Mark Parnell in 2006 when he was first elected. At the time we used a custom content management system and a look that was pretty much unique to this site.
In 2012 we rebuilt the look of the site to make it consistent with the other Greens sites around Australia. If we were to start from scratch on this site today we would use WordPress for back-end content management, but in this case we saved significant funds by using the existing back-end whilst completely revamping the look and significantly improving the social media integration.
“Nile Street Multimedia has been looking after all of my website needs since they created my site in 2006. As an MP, my website is a vital part of my communication with the community. That’s why it’s important for me to know that I can rely on them to understand what I need from my website, and to respond promptly to my changing needs and to ever evolving technologies.” Mark Parnell MLC.
This site now has much more Social Media integration namely:
- The use of Facebook and Twitter like buttons
- The Facebook like widget
- We link to the feed from Facebook to show the latest posts
