Leitmotif

Posted by – February 17, 2008

Utopian.net Leitmotif provides complete WordPress themes matching the detailed designs of the artists we strive to serve. It got an official name and a mini-launch today, which you can see in the differences at the Utopian.net services page, and in the how-to documentation for creating your Leitmotif site design.

More Documentation at Utopian.net

Posted by – February 16, 2008

We’ve added some more tips and explanations we think will be helpful, especially for new users just getting started with a site hosted at Utopian.net. The biggest changes are at http://utopian.net/doc/web/wp/, for using WordPress to manage your site and your blog; all utopian.net documentation can be found under http://utopian.net/doc/.

Utopian.net Updates

Posted by – February 10, 2008

You might notice we’ve made some minor but important updates at the main Utopian.net web site. While the front page retains the classic look adopted when we launched it in 2003 (how’s that for design longevity?), the rest of the pages feature an even-more-simple single column layout. Many of those content pages are new or significantly updated, like:

  • A page about our company and the people who work there (right now just a blurb about each of the principals, but more coming soon.)
  • A little more detail on some of our main services
  • Updated info on the software we use
  • Documentation for using utopian.net email with your domain

We’re also working hard on our buildguide, a tutorial for using our WordPress cms-themeing service. It’s cool, but it’s not complete, and (like this blog) is living at the labs while under development.
