Innovate

SDAC Inc. provided:

  • Custom Web Design
  • Custom Graphic Design
  • XHTML/CSS programming
  • WordPress theme creation
  • Custom PHP programming
  • Custom jQuery programming

technologies used:

XHTML, CSS, WordPress, PHP, jQuery

front end:

We worked with the client to understand the design needs, created a design, then turned that into a WordPress theme (XHTML, CSS, JS, PHP).

back end:

There are a number of custom admin panels, custom fields, custom shortcodes, etc to make this as easy to use as possible. All of the sidebar elements pull in content dynamically, and there is a lot of really cool functionality built into the UI as well as the backend to make this extremely easy to manage.

lessons learned/random thoughts:

There are some really great jQuery pieces that can be seen as the site develops in the next month or so after launch (early 2010)

TIME

SDAC Inc. provided:

  • XHTML/CSS programming
  • WordPress theme creation
  • Custom PHP programming
  • Custom jQuery programming

technologies used:

XHTML, CSS, WordPress, PHP, jQuery

front end:

TIME Inc provided the PSD mockups for the site and I provided them with a finished CSS/XHTML/PHP WordPress theme.

back end:

This was one of the most complicated sites I have worked on to date. There are numerous custom admin features that allows the client to easily change, update and manipulate content. A number of custom fields also gives the client the ability to mark and then display custom content types. There are a number of custom functions on every page view that pulls in content dynamically and displays it depending on the page view.

lessons learned/random thoughts:

Overall – this was an awesome project to work on and I look forward to working with TIME Inc. on more projects in the future.
