Caring Choices

The Caring Choices website

Caring Choices is a nationwide initiative to help shape future policy on long-term care for older people. More than 700 older people, carers and others were invited to share their experiences and views at events and on the website throughout 2007. Visit www.caringchoices.org.uk and read all about the project in this article in the Guardian newspaper.

WordPress

The Caring Choices website is based on WordPress, a free and open source content management system. It enables The King’s Fund and its partners to publish pages and articles onto their website; and for visitors to the site to leave their comments; and for visitors to subscribe to receive new articles.

Although WordPress is best-known as a blogging tool, The King’s Fund did not want the website to look too much like a blog. So I customised the look and feel of WordPress to match the Caring Choices corporate image.
