Liverpool South Scout District was formed in April 2010 following the amalgamation of Picton and Allerton Districts with Halewood (formally in Knowsley District).
I built Picton District’s website in 2006 using a basic html/css template. When the new District was formed I volunteered to take on the role of web manager. I wanted a site that other members could log onto and create news content and I settled on a WordPress website.
The first version of the website used a custom-built UK Scouting theme, which looked good visually but which had a number of limitations, particularly over the way it handled news posts.
I moved the site to the iFeature theme which is much more adaptable to our needs. Adopting this new theme meant I had to create my own set of Scouting graphics and images to fit the slider on the homepage.
