Challenges: Initially, looking at the website we knew this work was cut out for us. This site had the highest ranking on the Google search engine. Our task was to construct a new modern website design for this established published site keeping its rating. The added need was being able to provide easy manageable Content Managing System (CMS) allowing the owners the ability to edit pages in real time. To craft the website using a new dramatic stylish visual as in its current presentation, we had to incorporate the latest technology available to our professional website designers. We were inspired to use PHP and MySql, the world’s most popular open source database, giving us the flexibility of vibrantly created pages. We then added, ActiveScrip 3.0, a source code used in programming, to allow for flash inserts. WordPress, the integrated engine allowed owners full control in editing and managing content for their site. This gave the owners the ability to customize content for the site as they needed. We incorporated ultra modern statistics systems tracking user searches in terms of time spent on each identified page. This information allows us to create new web site pages utilizing information gleaned from their own site as guideline. Pages with high Google ranking can be used in the future to garner more like traffic. In addition to the modern contemporary face of the website it has the forms needed to track customer information.

UMCA Rich Tree Academy

Challenges: Schools have a unique challenge in that multiple accounts with manageable access for tied users are needed. The UMCA Rich Tree Academy website required hundreds of accounts and needed accessibility for students, parents, teachers, administration, and the general public. Privacy was the number one concern for everyone involved in this project. Moving between portals caused concerns that had to be addressed. To help with this site’s maneuverability issues, we created their website design using the Wordpress engine. Using Starintek’s custom front end themes, with plug-ins designed to provide the sought after features. We incorporated our signature products. This allowed the new website to provide every registered user, including students, teachers, parents, administrator, and others with a unique recognized control panel proposed to show only user’s relevant information. At the same time the website incorporates the latest technology such as the stylistic AJAX, PHP, MySql, and ActiveScript 3.0. We assured the school’s administration that they would have complete control over the many added features. Unique to schools we added portals such as; school news, homework, and photo albums. These areas need constant updates by various staff and students. They also have to be accessible by parents or other classrooms. Making these things user friendly, yet safeguarding the privacy of the students, staff, and school was a feat in itself. The capability to send emails to users or send personal comments to students and parents was also a requested addition that we complied with for this client. Mass parent notices, daily teacher messages, and student reminders were all a part of that step as we worked in tandem to make this site comply with all of the needs of the users.

Schools pose a significant privacy concern, yet we were able to offer a solution that was easy to operate, functional, and offered the needed privacy for all student records and information.
