I was contacted over the christmas and new year by Actually Digital to help out one of their clients who had been let down by another developer. The brief was clear and simple, to develop a custom Wordpress theme from a design they had provided and to turn it around within 24 hours. I took up the challenge for two reasons:

1. I have been doing more and more work with Wordpress recently so I was keen to take on any work that could keep my momentum going in this area.
2. I respect what the site owner is doing and the causes he is supporting over the coming months
