Project Role: I had a dual role as Content Developer and Programmer. As CD, I created pages, some of the Flash animation, the client manual, and will also provide the handoff training. As Programmer, I created the survey forms and integrated them with, and configured a PHP script named "Phorm", which allows both E-mailing and file logging of form data. I also documented the process for downloading the data into a local database or spreadsheet.
What I learned from the project: In my past career, I was insulated from changing customer and client sentiments by many levels of Marketing Department "filters". However, on this project, our client's wishes had a much more immediate and direct effect on the development process. It is easier for the developers to please the customer in the absence of stodgy and rigid marketing barriers between them.
