Envision - Student Social Network
Developed for a national youth based charity, the Envision website has two halves. The organisational side, encompassing a CMS and document management system, whose purpose was to showcase the work of the charity and provide insight in to organisational processes to attract funding opportunities. The 'teams' side is a full blown social networking site for students to blog, send messages and comments, create galleries and to participate in and report on Team activities. The development took place on the Ruby on Rails platform for the live website. A further requirement was the development of a desktop application, created using Flex and Adobe AIR, which synchronised with the data on the live website, providing bulk import of new users and teams. The application also removes and provides secure storage off-site for members private details and provides a messaging service.
