Podiatristnyc.com is the Advanced Footcare Group website for renowned podiatrist Dr. Howard D. Zaiff, DPM, FACFAS.
Dr. Zaiff was particularly fond of flash websites so my approach was to add animation an AJAX content retrieval for any areas that could use it. This meant content that did not require a layout change such as the Services and Treatments sections. To keep the site quick to load the makes heavy use of cache, popular external libraries and maintains a small footprint despite large images. The AJAX functions help also by only loading about 15kb-50kb of data (depending number on images) on some clicks. Other unique items about the site are 2 custom plugins to that allow users to make appointments and a gallery plugin that extends the default WordPress gallery. The gallery plugin, Z-Gallery, can handle local and external video sources, uses AJAX and has modal popups.
Key Features:
- Small footprint
- Fast load times -(despite GoDaddy hosting and large images)
- WordPress
- AJAX content
- Custom plugins
This custom theme created for Blade.org serves as a community for users of Blade servers. Users can post like any other forum but this forum features a custom built media library, fresh styling and the ability for users to submit posts/questions experts for a quick professional response from the creators of the hardware or software they are posting about. Its quite a unique forum and with proper promotion and maintenance it could serve as a valuable resource for Blade server users and vendors alike.
Just completed is the SEE Learning Center WordPress conversion. Originally SEE wanted 9 languages and extra functionality added. The update was for a static HTML website and would have cost more than the price of a new CMS enabled website.
