Client: Kimberly Ettinger (US)
Opportunity:
The client required a site meant for the volunteer fire departments working in the
USA. The various fire departments should be able to register themselves on this
site. In a similar manner, the junior voluntary firefighters working for these departments
should be able to register themselves in their respective departments on this site.
These firefighters are presented awards based on their performances. All these features
and functions are managed by the National Volunteer Fire Council (USA), a non-governmental
organization that helps these fire departments and the volunteer firefighters. This
site also needed to incorporate provisions for a discussion forum on the various
duties of the firefighters. There should also be a live chat facility which is prescheduled
and organized by NVFC.
Solution:
In accordance with the requirements of the client, the site was built in PHP and
hosted in Apache Web Server with MySQL as the Database. The main features of the
site were created in Php custom coding, while the site’s static pages were developed
through Joomla. phpBB was used for the forum integration, and Flash chat was used
for the integration of live chat.
