Wach Gallery 2008: CMS Part 1

May 7th, 2008

Wach Gallery 2008: A new CMSNow that my semester is over, I have a lot more free time to work on all of those long lost projects. I’m basically finished with my website for now, besides going back and uploading older content. So the next project is my dad’s website.

For those of you that don’t know, Wach Gallery is the name of my father’s business. He buys and sells “Fine 19th Century, 20th Century & Contemporary Photography”. Last year I built him a custom tailored PHP and MySQL content management system. Since then, I’ve learned a lot of new things. Now, I plan to take this intermediate site to professional.

The front end mainly going to be constructed of Flash. All of the flash applications are going to interact with the database he already has. So in other words, a majority of the core functionality is still usable, because I built it well last year. There’s just a few tweaks and additions I’d like to take care of along with cleaning up the code. Since I plan on doing this professionally, I sketched up some ideas in my notebook and then applied them in Photoshop. Some of the results can be found in the image gallery above.
