community portal for falconers

(offline since 09/07)

The site is a bespoke portal full of features and information to help the user/falconer community:
weather in your city, weight calculator, tips, books, blogs, forums, chat, search, lost and found birds, directories, etc...
all in two languages (english and spanish).

The web site is not online anymore, due to some 'differences' of opinion with the client.

A big part of the site was unfortunately managed by vbulletin. A lot of hours have been spent styling the forum page templates to conform with the rest of the site. vbulletin plugins like chat and blog also enables sich functionality on the site.

The client has now opted for a portal package (based in Joomla I believe) which does the job (effective functionality), but is inelegant and cluster information too much, preventing an effective user experience; too much navigational choices (lots of buttons everywhere) which makes seeked information hard to access, even more for falconers, which are not very computer savy.
