An easy to use Content Management System web site based on the Joomla platform. Web site template design uses elements from existing brand identity and flyers.
The Brief:<
Isedo Therapy is a new company providing alternative healing services. Isedo wishes to advertise online with a web site that can be easily updated us without the need of web programming knowledge or graphic designer. The site should display information about the company, its services, a calendar of events, testimonials, and contact information. The visual style should re use elements from previous projects to save on cost.
The Concept:<
Since Coda created Isedo Therapy's Brand Identity< [8], together with a series of Spectrum of Consciousness Flyers< [9], and Emotional Storage Flyer, we were able to easily reuse elements from those design. A paper textured is added to the background to soften the overall site appearance.
The Solution:<
Home Page<
[1]The web site uses the Joomla CMS [10] to allow easy addition of new content pages, automatic formatting of content, and automatic generation of summary pages. The home page updates automatically when new content is added and utilizes a dynamic calendar display which indicates upcoming events. Admins can manage the web site contents using front edit edit icons or login to a back end administrative interface that provides additional functionality.
Isedo's Philosophy<
[2]Basic content items such as the Philosophy page utilize an online WYSIWIG editor which can be operated by non-technically inclined users. The editor provides basic paragraph formatting options and the ability to upload, attach and format images in content. Page formatting is defined with template files which format the page title and body content. This page also shows a blockquote style that formats quoted text and author using different font [11] styles.
Workshops Overview Page<
[3]The workshop overview page is an automatically generated navigational summary page. The layout includes a full width primary items with subsequent items listed in two columns. Each Item displays a workshop title, an introductory paragraph, and is hyper linked to the full workshop information page. This page also displays a random customer testimonial at the bottom of the page.
Workshop Information Page<
[4]The Event content item, used for the workshop information page, includes additional fields for location, dates, and prices. All the event information is entered on one input form and is then reused to build the workshop/seminar overview pages and the event calendar.
