The Site: The site of the premium disposable tableware manufacturer.
http://mychinet.com
The Client: Chinet wanted to revamp its site to drive sales of a product line that was deeper than most people knew. As part of a full campaign, OLSON designed, developed and promoted their new website.
My Role: Development lead of concentrated development group. Development planning and production.
The Technology: The client had an existing CMS which they wished to keep. The system had been hand-rolled by another agency. We were asked to work with the CMS, improve it where needed and rebuild the public-facing side using CodeIgniter PHP framework. The end product included an implementation of the Zend Lucene search library and smart data caching to reduce server load and speed load times. The team developed inviting Flash features for the home page and Moments Calendar on the site. Also, the site used MooTools for JavaScript interactions. Finally, the site was built for progressive enhancement where the content is available without Flash or JavaScript and present for SEO.
The Highlights: Club Chinet where visitors can save recipes and tips and sign up for the Chinet newsletter, Moments Calendar where visitors can find a reason to celebrate any day.
