Christian Bodybuilding--The Challenge
The fledgling World Christian Bodybuilding Federation came to us with a vision
for ChristianBodybuilding.com, a site promoting natural, drug-free bodybuilding
and competitions for Christians who practice drug-free fitness. The design
challenge was to build enough function and pizzazz into the site to accomplish
the organization's vision, but keep the project within the meager means of
the cash-strapped startup
Fortunately, the group's founder, Dr. Rodney Gaines,
had plenty of pictures from previous competitions, so we didn't have to pay
for licensing of stock photography for the site. Also, Dr. Gaines, the Assistant
Professor of Health and Fitness at Norfolk State University, was well equipped
to write his own copy instead of paying for copy writing services. This meant
we could apply what resources he did have strictly to website
development. |

How We Met the Challenge
The organization had plans for as many a six competitions in 2003. FOr each,
we would need to be able to sign up athletes in over a dozen competitive
categories and sell adult and child/student tickets.
To manage these tasks, we could have easily developed as many as 80 or more
forms, one for each separate competition, category, and ticket. Instead,
we carefully crafted a single form capable of trapping the necessary data.
The plan is to develop backend software to parse customer
input in the form and automate credit card payment for all the categories
and competitions. However, to keep costs as low as possible, we set up the
site so that, for now, this is all handled by the site owner through
e-mail. |
