It will be interesting to see whether Johneen has asperations to come west for more of the Canadian female market share and take on other sites such as the various ones owned by Rogers, or Minnow Hamilton’s SavvyMom.
Correction:
Filly.ca isn’t built using a blog platform, but open source content management system.
Hi Dave,
Thanks for the mention! I’m very excited about the response Filly.ca has received from the women of Atlantic Canada as well as the local and national press. It is truly wonderful to be able to build a resource and online community for the region’s women, and contribute to our growing city’s media.
Just one correction: Filly.ca is not built on a blogging platform; our members section comes from freeware technology similar to that which powers many community sites online, however our content management system (that which powers the meat of Filly.ca and the majority of what readers see) is technology that was built entirely in-house by our gifted techs, developers and creative team.
Thanks and best,
Johneen Manning
President and Editor In Chief, Filly.ca
Very nice clean layout Johneen, looking forward to seeing where you take the site.
