(2011) Vesselin Kourtev Website

http://www.kourtev.com/ Vesselin Kourtev is a famous artist born in Bulgaria and currently living and working in the USA, who is also the father of our firm’s President. We had previously designed Vesselin Kourtev’s online portfolio website, creating a custom CMS (Content Management System) for this purpose based on PHP and MySQL. The site worked well for years but with the increase in popularity of WordPress it was time for change.  In 2011 we ported the site over to WordPress using ElegantThemes’ wonderful theme ePhoto. The site looks even better and being WordPress based, is even easier to update and maintain. It is still hosted on our...
(2010) International Conference on Virtual Rehabilitation Website

(2010) International Conference on Virtual Rehabilitation Website

http://virtual-rehab.org/2011/ In 2010 the Virtual Rehabilitation Conference Committee (previously IWVR) were back with the usual task of setting up their conference site for 2011. This time we were able negotiate the opportunity to come up with a better design. After a lot of hard work we came up with a very elegant, clean and modern look. We implemented the new design using DreamWeaver templates (as usual), which allows committee members without extensive knowledge of HTML and web development to make updates without any possibility of “breaking” the design. Another benefit of using DreamWeaver templates is that they could use the much simpler Adobe Contribute to make the changes, rather than DreamWeaver, which can be intimidating for the inexperienced user.  They were very satisfied with the quality service we provide and we have been responsible for their conference websites ever...

(2009) NJ Find-A-Ride Website

http://www.njfindaride.org/ The NJ Department of Human Service contacted our partners at ENTCHEV.COM with the request to design a website which would be Bobby Approved (AAA and 508) and would be easy to use by people with disabilities who need to plan a trip from one place to another using special services which deal with people with disabilities.  The project was subcontracted to us. The site was built with usability in mind, using a 3-tier architecture as required by the state and Bobby approved, so it could be easily access by text only web browsers, screen readers and people with low vision (hence the high-contrast color scheme).  The backend includes a relational database which stores all the service providers’ details. An access  portal for services providers was created, as well as one for administrators, who could moderate and update service record submissions. Complicated mapping and scheduling algorithms were written in order to extract the correct information from the database and present it to the user in an easy to understand format.  Update: The site has now been redesigned and now uses WordPress. We...

(2009) Western Monmouth Utilities Authority Website

http://www.wmuanj.org/ The Western Monmouth Utilities Authority contacted us with the request to convert their existing website to use DreamWeaver templates. DreamWeaver templates allow employees without extensive knowledge of HTML and web development to make updates without any possibility of “breaking” the design. Another benefit of using DreamWeaver templates is that they could use the much simpler Adobe Contribute to make the changes, rather than DreamWeaver, which can be intimidating for the inexperienced user.  The conversion was completed successfully and we provided training for the staff as well as a detailed instruction manual for future reference.  Update: The website’s design has since been...
(2008) Virtual-Rehabilitation 2009 Conference Site

(2008) Virtual-Rehabilitation 2009 Conference Site

http://virtual-rehab.org/2009/ After our successful collaboration on the conference site last year, the Virtual Rehabilitation Conference Committee (previously IWVR) came to us with the request to set up this year’s conference site as well.  We used last year’s DreamWeaver templates to save time and money. DreamWeaver templates allow committee members without extensive knowledge of HTML and web development to make updates without any possibility of “breaking” the design. Another benefit of using DreamWeaver templates is that they could use the much simpler Adobe Contribute to make the changes, rather than DreamWeaver, which can be intimidating for the inexperienced user.  We also set up an instance of the OpenConf conference planning open source system, like last year, which allowed them to receive, review and accept abstracts electronically. The OpenConf system (PHP & MySQL based) was extensively modified by us to fit their workflow better.  They were very satisfied with the quality service we provide and we have been responsible for their conference websites ever...
