Hello
Sorry of this isn't the right place to ask this, I have also posted in the TNEW community group. We are just starting the process of implementing TNEW and under some tight deadlines. What do people think of the TNEW quick start templates and using for their branding of the site? And does anyone have any examples of them? I have been sent to sites by Tessitura but they don't fill me with joy. We don't have time to outsource so it's this option or try and do something in house. Happy for any thoughts anyone has!
Thanks
Sky
Hi Sky -
I feel you've nailed it by saying fine but no 'filling with joy.'
We were in what sounds like the same boat a few years back when we did v7--no reasonable option to outsource and none to code something out ourselves either. I pushed kinda hard on the QST template and got this iteration of our WordPress design, which never made it to all our "hopes-and-dreams" level but absolutely got the job done.
I pitched QST as a way to let us achieve our other go-live goals, but always something we could return to any future day we chose. (My understanding is that, while it may take whatever kind of usual development time to get a template behaving right, the actual swap between one template file and another is little more than swapping out a url in an Admin field--not even a mini-project in scope.) Three+ years in, it serves us well and I'm not even expecting to use the v16 upgrade as an excuse to commission a custom template. Hopefully, we'll be in a position to do a custom one next time we *need* to spend any money on it, but I'd absolutely pick the QST option again if the short cut was necessitated.
