The website of Outdoor Herbivore is made possible by the use of many highly competent services. We recommend the following services:

Hosting

Outdoor Herbivore is hosted by Hostgator, a top-notch U.S. operated web hosting provider. We can attest that their staff is extremely responsive and knowledgeable. Plus, their data center is powered 130% by wind energy!  Their affiliates program is also fantastic. We highly recommend Host Gator!

Platform

Our site uses the WordPress, the largest self-hosted blogging tool in the world. This software has evolved from a blog tool into a fully capable content management system, making it the perfect solution for corporations and private bloggers alike.  The wordpress platform is not only highly customizable, but is also free to use.

Themes

We have multiple themes running on this site, many of which have modified beyond recognition. The one we are using for the majority of my site pages is Atahualpa by BytesForAll, a highly customizable and efficient theme developed by “Flynn” of Munich, Germany. The author runs an active support forum and has quite a group of followers that volunteer their support that add to it’s success.

Eccomerce

We use the bolt-on wordpress plugin, Shopp to enable our ecommerce process. This solution is full of features which you can customize quite easily using your own template files.
