  Someone claims to have spent a lot of taxpayer money developing the website below. To me, it looks like a stock WordPress template. I’m just trying to find which template they used, so I can point out that the money spent developing this site was probably not too well spent. If anyone out there can tell me which template this is, it would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks!

  Even if it’s a custom theme, a lot of money has been wasted if they paid a lot for it. After all, custom themes don’t actually ADD that much value to anything but a highly visual industry blog, like an art blog etc. There are so many themes out there it’s hard to imagine that the world of e-learning REALLY needs another one.

  Also: that video intro is teh suck. Autoplay???

  That isn’t even a blog. It’s a custom website.

  I realize it’s a website and not a blog. But doesn’t it look like it was built off a WordPress template?

  Not really. There are tons of websites out there that look like they were built on blog themes, but they were not. The blog theme style has sort of been in for the past few years. Inspiration comes from many places.

  Here is what it what that site is built on: http://www.jasig.org/uportal
