The Career Institute of American International College was a cooperative project between 7Places and PlattForm. Originally intended to be a simple static paged site, this project quickly increased in scope as the needs grew to a dynamic content replacement system.

Drupal was chosen for this site as its content management system. Drupal provides flexibility in a multitude of areas on the site where each section of the site can be applied to specific pages easily through a backend admin section. Drupal integration is new to 7Places, and much was learned through this process.

Also scheduled for round 2 implementation is a dimensional video that will reside on the homepage. Users will be able to interact with students represented on the homepage and hear a quick version of their testimony about the school and their field of study.

Design: PlattForm
Dimensional Video: PlattForm
Development & Integration: Jamon Abercrombie (7Places)
Client (PlattForm): The Career Institute of American International College

First Baptist Church | O’Fallon (www.firstofallon.com, formerly www.fbcoministry.org) is coming off a multi-year run of using a template-driven, non-SEO friendly, large ID strings in the links site that had table-based, invalid, depricated code.

We updated their look with a custom graphical user interface (GUI), an integrated content management system using Wordpress as its engine, custom programming to rotate or switch custom header images based on ministry section, programming to pull specific side navigation elements based on page viewed, custom SlideShowPro integration for event listings on homepage, custom news scroller sitewide that pulls feed from certain category, new podcasting and vidcasting options and multiple custom contact or registration forms.

The mission of First Baptist Church | O’Fallon is to lead people to faith in Christ and growth in Christ-likeness. We believe Jesus Christ desires a personal relationship with each person on earth - including you! First Baptist Church | O’Fallon simply wants to help lead you in a growing, personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

The CSB School of Broadcasting project was an overhaul of their existing site. Since 1964, CSB School of Broadcasting has been the top choice for thousands of students b/c they want a great career in television, radio or Internet media, and know they’ll benefit from CSB School of Broadcasting’s Learn by Doing® approach.

The new site was designed with a new, sleek, modern feel with ease of navigation and emphasis on a better user experience.

A content replacement system was added to the main locations (cities) pages using Wordpress as the engine.

This site is going through several phases before it is completely overhauled. One of the next phases to take place is and interactive flash header on the homepage where users can interact with the people represented on the homepage.

(thanks to Craig Juneau and Jodi Augustine at PlattForm).
