AJC Media Solutions website

I was contracted to develop the content management system for the Atlanta Journal Constitution’s AJC Media Solutions site.

I took a great design from IQ Interactive, created Joomla 1.5 templates, and structured the site so IQ and AJC staffers could easily add content, including an extensive collection of Flash movies and PDF whitepapers.

Working from home and traveling to Atlanta for a few days, with follow up documentation and consultation, I got the project done on time and well within the budget.
