Web Development Project for Dream Research

Website Design

The design for the International Institute for Dream Research was a new approach to their previous website. The previous design had some obvious flaws in the overall organization of the large amount of content on the site. The navigation was inconsistent and awkward to become familiar with. The logo had some excellent colors that were not being used in the layout of the website so we developed the color pallet around these. We created a consistent navigation that is easy to identify and use while organizing the content into appropriate categories.

XHTML/CSS

The site makes use of properly structured HTML and CSS code. This means that all the pages are built in a way which Google can get as much information about their company as quickly as possible, it means that their pages load faster and it means that their website is fully accessible to anyone of any ability or disability. It also means that their site is faster to update, easier to expand and built to accept many new technologies.

Video Management

Both visitors to the site and the company have the ability to add videos to the website. When a visitor submits a video it is still pending approval by the company before it is displayed on the website. Video files are accepted in any standard format and all resizing and conversion is completed automatically within LiveTools.

PayPal Integration

We implemented basic PayPal integration for the website to cost effectively accept payments for some of their services. This is an excellent way to start using your website to organize purchasing.

Article Management

All of the articles and dream interpretations are managed directly within LiveTools, this includes the images that are played back within the theater. This theater was custom designed and implemented to the company's requirements.
