Sheridan House Project

http://www.sheridanhouse.org/

Sheridan House Family Ministries is an organization that I have respected for a long time, it is reconized for the over 90,000 children and families it helps yearly, so I considered it an honor to become their fulltime web developer.

I can honestly say that Sheridan House is my master piece, both in web design and application architecture. However, I must give credit for the design to TemplateWorld for providing me a with a template that I was able to customize (which saved me a lot of time). In the customization if the design I rewrote the CSS and changed around the layout. I incorporated a JavaScript drop down menu (provided by http://www.dynamicdrive.com/) for the main navigation in the header of the website and utilized the left area of the website to advertize resources provided by Sheridan House.

Visitors and purchase resources through a customer built e-commerce section, even make donations securely, subscribe to a weekly podcast, and monthly article feeds.

The website is fully dynamic in every area, the home page implements a customer content rotator control located in the main content section, and dynamically loaded custom user controls on the left navigation. The administration section allows individuals (staff members) the freedom to manage such content as donor information and donations, articles (including rss feeds), daily devotions, website content and audio media content.  The media library is synced with ITunes, allowing an individual to upload new media content and have it automatically update the podcast feed to ITunes. 

Most importantly, this website/application was designed with SEO in mind.  The HTML code is 100% hand written to insure search engine friendly HTML. I also implemented a custom HTTP handler for handling URL rewritting and 301 redirects.
