michaelbain, in conjunction with pixelmagic, has successfully established the online presence of www.rockingfuture.co.za.

michaelbain installed a WordPress installation, sourced and installed the appropriate plug-ins and did extensive customisations to the functionality of the theme to incorporate the City Press section of the site.

The Rocking Future Roadshow is the most fun any Grade 12 can have while learning about study opportunities in many tertiary institutions. The Show takes place during school hours in the school hall, and gives Grade 12’s the chance to speak personally to representatives of the colleges they are interested in. Add live music, and loads of prize giveaways, and you have a recipe for loud, informative fun that leaves a lasting impression.

michaelbain successfully completed a web project for http://www.sandwichbaron.com. The project involved moving the entire site to a new and updated hosting environment. The e107 installation was upgraded to the latest version and a custom inteface, wrapped in the e107 theme ,was built that allows the authenticated administrator to manage the menu tables and platter tables of the back-end MySQL database through a comma separated file download and upload interface. The database is then used for the site-side menu and platter displays.
