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
