Joomla CMS, .PSD to HTML/CSS conversion A graphic designer friend came to me with a project that was beyond his normal 'static site' skills. Old School Indoor Football was to be a new venture, attempting to role out and monetize a UK wide indoor football league.
The initial brief was:
...profile based social media(ish) functionality:
Features:
- Individual login and profile page
- If a player identifies himself as a captain he will then be asked to name his team, enter their email address and once the team is registered, the team members will be emailed with their login credentials.
- Individual login and profile page
- Player stats - goals, cards etc etc
- Player affiliation with a team
- Referee login and area - here the ref will enter scores, scorers and cards
- Current League standings
- Game times - i.e. Team A plays Team B @ 18.00 Thurs 3rd Sept
The client did not have the budget for a bespoke CMS, I therefore searched for an 'off the peg' solution and found one in Joomla's Joomsport component which could be set up to fulfill each of the desires in the brief.
The frontend is an almost pixel perfect version of the photoshop file I was given.
Skills used: HTML, CSS, JavaScript/jQuery, PHP, Joomla, Client consultation
