Conclusion
I am pleased to say that I have finished the site ready for the deadline of the Wrexham Food Festival this weekend.

I have had many a learning curve throughout this project due to the clients requirements yet feel I have been able to fulfill all areas. Following on from the meeting recently about final amendments I was able to change the navigation buttons by simply renaming the pages in admin yet I did have to consider the fact that the new navigation names were slightly longer and this knocked out the design as the buttons collided with the search field. To fix this problem I loaded up the stylesheet in admin and changed the font size and slightly altered the spacing. One of the other final points I needed to tackle was making the gallery operational.
Gallery
Previously I had installed the plugin DM Albums into wordpress and now was the time to get it working. It was very simple just a case of going to a page and clicking the DM Albums tab on the right and then making an album folder. Once the folder for that page was created it was just a case of browsing for you pics and uploading them. Then DM Albums would create a piece of code that sat on the page:
[album: http://www.localfoodfirstwrexham.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/dm-albums/dm-albums.php?currdir=/wp-content/uploads/dm-albums/localgallery/]
Have a look at the gallery live at:

I did have some problems with the gallery though – one part being the clash of stylesheets as the gallery comes with a preset stylesheet that you can customise. The main problem was the navigation through thumbnails on the gallery was clashing with the navigation on the actual site. The way I got around this was to remove the stylesheet coding for the navigation on the gallery.
Overall I am happy with the final outcome and importantly so is the client who will be taking over all day-to-day updating of the site and the excellent side to wordpress over other CMS systems is its very easy to use even for non-technical users.
