Mixed Results
So SilverStripe is a no go, as well as not being supported by the RHBs webhost (wrong version of php), it was really temperamental and was not going to be able to deliver us a viable website before the deadline.
So we've switched to Wordpress.
A bit last minute but we have ported most of our art to Wordpress and the good news is it is much more supported and has more plugins as well as being a more user friendly.
On top of that Wordpress still meets all of our requirements for content management and ease of use.
On the plus side we have sorted out the web hosting part.
While we are still developing the site the url is:

Grand finale dramas
Wow, silverstripe doesn't work on the existing web host.
Uhhhm this leaves us in quite a ruined state after designing our website in silverstripe. SO... alternate methods are being investigated. Hopefully have a better idea in the morning.

Webhosting
Just emailed SilverStripe and Kiwi Web Host, we need to determine if the web host that the Real Hot Bitches use currently (the kiwi web hosting company) is going to be compatible with SilverStripe.
We have a meeting with a friend of mine at 5:30pm today to talk about how the webhosting process goes as none of us have ever done this before.
I will post more updates as events unfold.

Mid-Challenge Review
WOOAAHHH WE'RE HALF WAY THERE! WOOH-OHHH LIVING ON A PRAYER.
Well yeah, thats some Bon Jovi for you, a Real Hot Bitches favorite.
So... if we start on a solemn note we can end with the good stuff. There has been some upsets so far, troubles with getting silverstripe to work on our macs being a huge one. Also large assignments running alongside of this one – fighting for brain power and time. We have discussed with RHB exactly what they want in their website and what we are able to achieve for them and both parties are excited. The hard stuff is yet to come with the actual development of the website itself which was initially planned to be happening somewhat before now, but because of some of the previously mentioned reasons hasn't worked out to plan. So after much struggle with trying to get it to work on the mac's we have it working on Alex's home PC and will now probably be spending a bit of time working on it there. Real Hot Bitches have some pretty crazy ideas for what they would love to see in their site so it should be fun to produce some of these strange concepts.
Here onwards... get the template sorted out so we can start filling in the content. Make some crazy animations (mc hammer dancing etc) and make sure we achieve exactly the look and feel of the website that the RHB's want in our final piece.
