Pennsylvania Wine Society
Back in 2004, Ken was doing a variety of business software development projects, using the name “Solutions .NET Corporation” and a colleague of his, at this time, happened to be on the board of directors for the Pennsylvania Wine Society and asked him to put together a community website for their group.
Because they are very event-oriented, they needed a flexible event scheduling and registration system. Dan helped with the graphic design work for the site, creating a custom banner and complementary color palette. The site was built on the Microsoft SharePoint platform, with a public site and a private administrators only site.
At the time, we were not offering ongoing hosting administration services, so the Pennsylvania Wine Society is running their own hosting plan with WebHost4Life. If you would like to visit their site, please browse to http://www.winesocietypa.org/.
NEOHSC
The Northeast Ohio Homeschool Connection (NEOHSC) is a group of homeschooling parents who originally gathered around a Yahoo! Groups mailing list, but eventually determined they needed more features to nurture their community.
With a heavy emphasis on the discussion-oriented nature of their collaboration, we selected DotNetNuke with a commercially available module, ActiveForums, installed to host their email-enabled discussions. They also wanted a picture gallery, event calendar, and a map to let them see where everybody lived.
Most of their site is private, for members only, but you can visit their public landing page to get a taste of what we put together for them, at http://www.neohsc.com/.
We designed, built, and continue to host the site for NEOHSC. Additionally, Ken’s wife, Wendee, even took most of the photographs that we used for the design of the site. If you’d like to see more of Wendee’s work, you can see her website here.
