Feministe is a well established political/social commentary blog, which was having problems with running very slowly and being difficult for readers to access and join the discussions.
A full overhaul of the database plus implementation of various plugins to enhance site security and loading speed were necessary, plus a theme redesign to one that was fast to load and optimised for search engines, yet which kept the familiar look for the blog’s readers so that they were not overwhelmed by too many changes all at once.
The premium customising features of the Thesis theme framework were the key here. This allowed a rapid redesign of the blog, retaining the familiar colours and graphics while simplifying the presentation of information on the site.
