Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center's web site has officially been redesigned and re-launched. The Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center "provides quality music for people of the Rockford area through live performances by local and world renowned artists."

Using the power of Adobe® ColdFusion® along with CSS, XHTML and Microsoft® SQL Server, I was able to bring Jaci M.'s sophisticated design to life.

The site features a fully integrated secure shopping cart with payment processing via PayPal. The "all-in-one" customized cart solution accommodates tickets, subscriptions and dues. The site also features a comprehensive back-end to allow for easy maintenance of concerts, venues, subscription packages, performing artist dues and more.

This morning, I launched another ColdFusion web site for PG Engineered Control Solutions (a.k.a. PrecisionGovernors.com), who "has a long history of innovative system implementations for electromechanical, electrohydrolic and engine management."

As usual, I built the site from the ground up using Adobe® ColdFusion® along with CSS, XHTML and of course Microsoft® SQL Server. Some of the more "static" areas of the site were optimized for use with Adobe® Contribute® CS4.

Many thanks to Greg L. for the squeaky clean design!

I'm proud to announce the launch of a new ColdFusion web site for FurstPerson. FurstPerson claims to "Drive Hiring Performance Improvement" with their "Call Center Hiring and Assessment Solutions."

The ultra-slick design was courtesy our "beloved" Jaci, who performed her magic using Adobe's Photoshop® and Illustrator®. Using Adobe® ColdFusion® as well as MS SQL, CSS and XHTML, I constructed the site from the designer's image files.

The site features the ability to "Gate" some dynamic content such as case studies, white papers and even video whereby a user may be required to "register" in order to view the material. To deliver streaming video, we partnered with the folks over at Brightcove. I was able to leverage some of their API's to deliver the video dynamically. The site has also been tightly integrated with Eloqua for lead generation as well as some statistical information.

I plan to write a few more posts down the road on how I handled some of the hurdles I faced while building the site, including the ability to allow the client to tie documents, blog/news posts and videos directly to specific products and services through an intuitive back-end administration area.

Congratulations Jeff and everyone else at FurstPerson. This truly was a challenging and rewarding project to be a part of.
