Bears Matter

Bears Matter is an organization run by a bear conservation activist in BC. The website blogs and campaigns to bring awareness to the public about the bears of BC and Canada.

This client had a very plain blog for her original website and it greatly needed an update. I worked on this project with two other students from October 2009 – April 2010 for our senior project classes at VIU, to give our client a brand new website with a Content Management System (Joomla!), an e-commerce store, and a blog with all her old posts transferred to the new one.

Project Details:

• Usability research
• Pre-CMS hand-coded, standards-compliant XHTML & CSS layout for client approval
• New logo design
• Custom graphics
• Content Management System (Joomla!)
• Blog implementation
• Old blog to new blog transferring
• E-Commerce Store
• User manual for the client
