michaelbain has successfully created a custom web application for www.boardconnect.co.za

Some of the custom coded functionality includes:

• user registration and registration verification
• user authentication and login account management
• user profile creation and editing – multiple sections and related data
• a templating system that seperates design and logic. (pixelmagic, who did the graphical design, really liked this as they could edit the template files as flat html files, without seeing or understanding the logic)
• a complete admin interface to manage site settings and view created profiles
• admin-user management, by admin (adding / deleting /editing – with email activation of added admin accounts)
• a complex AJAX search builder for searching profiles and matching them to available board positions
• Skype and Linked-in integration

michaelbain has successfully completed an enhancement to the HAWS website. The enhancement enables HAWS to edit their own adoptions page content without having to understand web design or HTML and without having to use any special software.  The site administrator logs in, edits the content with a WYSIWYG editor and saves it.

HAWS is an independent, registered non-profit organization (WO No: 026-799-NPO) serving the community of Madibeng (Brits, Hartbeespoort and surrounding areas) – a large region experiencing rapid development and population growth. Since 2000 we have provided welfare services for abandoned, neglected and abused pets, farm animals and wildlife.

Please support this worthy cause.
