Web Design & More: Professional Network with Unique Needs

Rate this item
(0 votes)

We were approached by NEWH concerning the redesign and integration of 3 websites in one.  The sites were very different in design & functionality -- even technologies were not compatible.  One of the most exciting (and challenging) aspects of this project was to create a social network for the members spread across the country (and now around the globe.) With thousands of pages, over 2500 members, and daily updates, the new site had to offer the following functionality.

  • advanced administration for easy updates performed by non-technical users
  • event management
  • registration, Paypal integration
  • custom forms
  • catalog
  • membership management with subscriptions and Paypal integration
  • forum
  • social network with custom profiles, group, discussions, photo and video sharing
  • Facebook integration
  • directories with content templating
  • career network with resume and job posting

In addition, the site's main content is being synchronized daily with NEWH's local database.
New Nectar is also providing custom web hosting and monthly server support including regular backups.

This was an exciting project -- and our Houston Web Design team looks forward to a long & fun relationship with this National organization!

Having Philippe at the technical helm of New Nectar  is what gives our sales staff the ability to say "yes! we can do that!" and "did you know it's possible to do this?"  His unique ability to unite innovative ideas with development know-how has propelled New Nectar from a tiny start-up to a successful design, development, and marketing firm.  It also doesn't hurt that he's occasionally willing to wear a beret.

In addition to being the lead developer for our team, Philippe also is at the head of our Honolulu Social Media Marketing, and  Honoulu Search Engine Optmization (SEO,) campaigns.


Philippe is always on the go -- whether literally (Paris, Bogota, Honolulu,) or figuratively. It's not unusual for a team member to shoot off a late-night email about a client project --- only to receive a response from Philippe moments later.

In addition to leading the way at New Nectar -- Philippe is also active in the broader Joomla community where he advocates for development of a more interactive web.  Earlier this year, Philippe was invited to join a larger team of experts and Joomla community leaders in the creation of people.joomla.org -- the community site for Joomla users, developers and designers.  Philippe remains active on the site as one of two site administrators.

Of course, Philippe also enjoys living life away from the bright lights of his computer monitor.  When he's not working or volunteering, you'll find him traveling, flying  hot air ballons, or jumping out of airplanes.
