This summer I’ve been working on several projects with two of them being very large. Well I just finished the first large project, Our Wedding Circle. Built using an existing framework, so it should be easier to maintain, there is also large sections of custom code and several key updates.
The updates, allow for, as all websites should:
- easier administration to add/update/and disable users,
- faster searching for users than before,
- more optimized database structure, and
- improved findability for search engines, so it should rank higher than it’s predecessor.
The client brought me their ideas, and I worked with them and showed them some others things which could be done to make managing a site of their size more manageable.
The site is huge already with many wedding vendors from all over the US, indexed by location and category and is growing daily. Sites have to designed with growth in mind, or they will fail, and this site is a perfect example of one which is growing as it should.
