Project Stagecoach

Reviews, Portfolio, Emails/Forms, Updates and Link Management Software

This project started as several separate programs for handling emails, other forms and a update feed. Since they used the same basic functions and to make them easier to use, they were merged. On the frontend, it is seamlessly integrated into the website. This allows adding features such as a portfolio to a simple web design. The admin side has all five modules plus the general settings together in the same interface. Only the modules needed could be installed with the program adapting automatically. Emails sent through the website along with other forms are stored on the server until deleted as well as being sent to an email address. The forms are spambot resistant. It can also handle existing forms including ones with file uploads. The portfolio modules can handle multiple categories. The reviews modules allows a visitor to submit a review along with a star rating. Depending on settings, the review will be shown if the star rating is high enough. This software was installed on over 40 web sites. There is also a WordPress plugin that handles a few of the modules on the frontend side for WordPress sites. See it in action here. The name for this project came from a chairlift at Heavenly Ski Resort. It was written in PHP, mySQL, Javascript, HTML and CSS.
