Overview
A public safety body needed an online portal for its operations: members, groups, content, events and reports. We designed and built the front end, the content and approval tools, the event calendar and the reporting, with the administration features behind them.
What we built
- Pages for the home page, reports, users, jobs and attendance, responsive and cross-browser
- News, articles, events and journals with dynamic content
- User management, registration, search and profile images
- Content management with a rich text editor, approval workflows and access rules by role and borough
- An event calendar with drag and drop, and event creation and editing
- Hourly, compliance, summary and per-borough reports
- Job and opportunity sections, a document store with permissions and a member search
- Attendance sheets and rules, and email alerts for friends and followers
- Super-admin and user-level permissions, rank and group management, and role reassignment
- APIs for users, forums, topics, comments and tickets, and deployment to staging and live
