Over the last week we have been pushing some code out that we use to efficiently run a WordPress consulting company.
WordPress Skeletor
Skeletor is a WordPress “skeleton” theme that we have been using as a starting point for any new custom theme development. It’s got all kinds of bells and whistles we’ve added since our initial fork of Kenneth Reitz’s WordPress Theme Skeleton project. Basically it has all the “stuff” you need to start a new WordPress theme from scratch.
We’ll be adding features as we need and will let you know about them so you can use it for your WordPress theme development needs.
WordPress Multi-Site
A by-product of doing WordPress consulting is WordPress hosting. For the last few years we have recommended hosting services and used various ones for our own projects. Not anymore. We are now developing a scalable WordPress hosting platform we can offer to our clients (and anybody serious about WordPress hosting for their business).
The base of that platform is a combination of WordPress Multi-Site and Domain Mapping. We’ve packaged up the platform we are currently developing on so you can do the same (well, you’ll have to configure your own server).
Oh – and if you don’t want to try to run this yourself – we can handle that for you 
WordPress Multi-Author Widget Plugin
Coming soon – our WordPress Multi-Author Widget plugin. This was another by-product of WordPress consulting. In one of our latest projects for Des Moines ad agency Lessing-Flynn we needed to replicate functionality that WordPress.com offers in one of their widgets.
After we couldn’t find anything – we built a plugin. It’s running on their site now and will soon be added to the WordPress plugin repository as well as GitHub.
