I recently got involved with a project for a client that is offering a private voluntary barter currency. The site was designed around the desire of setting up one shell site that is easily replicable across geographic locations. For example, the first site, Liberty Dollar Dallas, was created and the client wants to be able to take that site and use it to quickly set up sites like Liberty Dollar Austin, Liberty Dollar Tuscon, etc…

This goal was accomplished through creating a base content management system that is completely data-driven through a backend database. The client can manage virtually everything about the site through an administrative panel and can easily set up new sites by copying very minimal amounts of code, updating their DNS servers, and creating a new header image. This is ideal as it requires very little interaction from me, the designer, and thus results in very little additional costs to the client. And because the site is based on centralized code, it is very easy to maintain. The client wins and so does the designer!

So check out Liberty Dollar and tell me what you think about the site. Also look into the idea behind barter currency and see if it appeals to you as well.
