Issue 80
Hi everyone
This is the last Perchology Newsletter of 2020. Well, unless there is any end-of-year news from the Perch core team about future development! There have been 13 issues this year and I've enjoyed curating them.
It's been a tough year for many reasons for lots of people. I'm looking forward to 2021 for sure.
There are COVID-19 restrictions in place in most countries but I wish you all the best for the holiday season.

Site Example
McAMS Yamaha
Site design and build for Yamaha’s Official British Superbike Team. Built with standard Perch it includes custom events section which utilises categories for common content like circuits for ease of update in future seasons. Blog/Gallery apps used for the news and photos sections. The news section back-end template includes the ability to add blocks for quotes from riders/team and event results. Riders are available as categories for selection in the results block which makes it fast to add results, this was important for the client on busy race weekends. A joy to work in Perch on this one and the client is really pleased with the ease of updating the site having previously been built using another CMS.
Very nice site!
