What they wanted
A new website to represent the Recent Apointees In Polymer Science, a group set up to help young scientists in forming their own networks and contacts. The site enables the group to give a background to RAPS, details of comittee members, highlight forthcoming meetings and minutes of previous meetings and provide a place where members can post recent presentations.
RAPS members can register with the site giving access to the message board and a custom designed intelligent emailer which could direct any questions to other members with associated expertise simply by filling in an online form. A major pre-requisite was for the site to be easily updated by the comittee, every aspect of the site is controlled from a custom designed content management system which includes features such as automatic image resizing to allow easy updates.
The site was created using a combination of XHTML and CSS for the front-end and PHP/MYSQL for the database driven content management.
