Current Project – PLANiT Measuring

Work In Progress: The Planit Website

Work In Progress: The Planit Website

Modern Empire Inc. has hired me to work on a site for one of their clients, Planit Measuring.

As part of a marketing overhaul being overseen by Modern Empire we’re doing a redesign, adding some flash elements as well as incorporating an easily updatable News page and password protected Client Area.

Planit produces “real-time, digital floor plans for all property types across North America. Using our patent-pending MeasuringBoard® technology, we efficiently measure buildings and produce accurate CAD plans that are easier to read than architectural drawings and more cost-effective than traditionally measured floor plans.”

The goal of the new site is to better reflect what Planit does while providing an intriguing, modern experience for the user.

At this time, once you’ve entered the main area of the site, only three regions have a semblance of content, those are the News and Contact pages as well as the Client Area. All other pages load some standard and very bland filler content.

The News Page

The News section of the site is built and awaiting the final items. It utilizes WordPress to load dynamic content that the client can update on their own. It also incorporates Shadowbox JS to load images from thumbnails. This is a great JavaScript plugin that loads content in a box surrounded by a dark translucent overlay. The content is scaled to fit inside the viewer’s bowser window regardless of what screen resolution they are using. Shadowbox will also be used in the other areas of the site to load images.

The login page

The client login has been created as another, separate WordPress site that utilizes the Members Only plugin along with some hacking of the login php file to create a personalized, protected area that the client can use to post specific content for their clients.

There’s still a lot to be done but I’m pleased to present a sneak peek at what will undoubtedly be an attractive and interesting website. Stay tuned for more information as work on the site continues.
