43: Perch CMS | An interview with Clive Walker

Nov 24, 2016, 12:00 AM

This week Ben and I are joined by Front End (or is that Front-End) developer Clive Walker to talk about Perch CMS. We have a lot of positive things to say about it, it's powerful and flexible, but easy to use. We also talk about Perch's many free add-ons, including the recently added Perch Shop e-commerce platform. Just so you know, we're not being sponsored by perch, we just really like it. It's become my CMS of choice, and I reckon it's well worth trying out. Clive also tells us about the Perchology newsletter, which contains all sorts of goodies for Perch developers, and the Horsham Co-Working project.

Clive's Toolstar is Curated, an app for putting together a digest newsletter, which Clive uses to create the Perchology newsletter.

My Jukebox choice this time is a solid gold classic, Teardrop by Massive Attack. Clive's pick is Big Calm, the whole album, by Morcheeba (we'll pick a track for the playlist). Ben didn't have a track this week, Bad Ben! Clive and my tracks will be added to the Relative Paths Alt Playlist.
