Development of this company website. The site was implemented to be fully editable with ease, and therefore we chose to implement Perch for the CMS implementation.
The website was produced by Gong Communications and the design was by Tim Brook.
This project involved the creation of a series of HTML Newsletter templates from photoshop design visuals and the requirement to easily create and send out new campaigns.
JRBH had an existing in-house web based system for sending out the newsletters but it was custom built around their existing weekly newsletter and they wanted to put into production two more newly conceived monthly newsletters for which it would have required extending.
To accomodate this we recommended MailChimp, a well established and cutting edge web application for sending email newsletters to customers, managing subscriber lists, and tracking campaign performance.
So the end result was a set of fully editable templates integrated into MailChimp which they could easily use to create and send out the new campaigns plus comprehensive features for monitoring the performance.
The newsletters were designed by Tim Brook.

College of Paramedics required their website to provide a direct debit signup process for new and upgrading members who want to pay online by direct debit. I was involved to develop this part of the website, consisting of a signup process on the website with supporting internal administration modules, plus automated daily processes for scheduling payments, processing failed signups and processing failed transactions.
The website links directly with the bank (which CoP use) via multiple web services so that when a member goes through the signup process, it checks the validity of their bank details and then if all ok registers their account directly with the bank.
All code was written in PHP with SOAP to access the bank web services, with a MySQL database and it is integrated with Expression Engine which the site was built in, for which I created custom plugins.
The site overall was designed and built by Existence Design and went online in January 2010.

To provide ‘when to go’ information on places that the company provide travel to on their commercial website.
Uses google maps, to show a map of a given country with markers plotted for several pre-selected points. Clicking on any of the markers reveals a climate chart showing an overview of the historic average temperature, rainfall and hours of sunshine throughout the year (using Google Charts). The historic weather data was supplied to us by an external specialist.
I used the following technologies: .NET with MS-SQL database, Google Maps/Google Charts API’s.
A tool integrated with the site content management system, used by the site content editors, to facilitate their search for appropriate images to accompany the written content on the site. The site images were stored on Amazon S3, a cloud storage solution to externally host images and video content.
A web application created to facilitate the geo-tagging of all places worldwide that the company provide travel to.
The geo-tagging process enabled the location of each place to be pin pointed on the map (built on google maps) and the latitude and longitude coordinates stored, opening up many nice to have uses on the customer facing website.
Essentially it meant that instead of static image based maps, they could dynamically generate google maps (or Yahoo/Microsoft if ever desired), of any country or region showing markers/icons with geographic information (for example showing climate information, see climate charts project).
Built with the google maps API and JavaScript ajax based interface, with a back end in ASP.NET and MS-SQL database.
A large scale collaborative publishing web application for authors and editors of the Blackwell Encyclopedia of Sociology.
At the time of creation, the publication was not existent and the web application was the tool for hundreds of academic authors and editors worldwide to submit and store content centrally, to review and eventually to retrieve and print the content. There were several inbuilt roles, which also included Blackwell staff and printers allowing access only to relevant content and work flows.
