Rearrange Yourself
Deb Kelly needed a full logo, branding, and self-hosted membership website that would allow members to stay updated on her weekly posts. We worked to create an art-ful website that has the beefy backend needed to support such a large membership base and streaming website content. The process began with the creation of the logo and fun branding. I hand-painted a background that brought out the colors Deb wanted. Once done, we brought her new look and feel through her business cards. Once complete, we started the planning and design of the website. Since Deb wanted a membership website where members can subscribe annually but could handle the demand of self-hosted video and audio, my team and I set her up on a virtual dedicated server and assisted her with the systems administration of that server. Once that was set up, we created a membership website using the WordPress platform, incorporating secure payment processing for her annual memberships through her membership application, as well as an eCommerce shop. Next, we worked to get her self-hosted video and audio set up so only members can view videos and listen to her audio clips. Third, we got all of her social networks and sign-up forms incorporated.Some key Technical Features of this site:
- Customized design elements, including images, icons, buttons, and more
- Self-hosted CMS-based site
- Fully-integrated WordPress administrative editing interface
- Fully-integrated Member-management system, with simple controls for user-access levels to all site content
- Self-hosted eCommerce functionality, integrated with authorize.net and client's merchant account
- Current, Valid HTML5 self-hosted video and audio streaming
- Client-editable management areas for all content and membership control
- jQuery image sliders
- Server-side processing in PHP
- MySQL database content management
The result is a beefy membership website that is sure to catch some attention. RearrangeYourself.com
