Database and Content Management Project Samples
Gerber Baby Food Backend Database & Portal
- Client: Gerber
- Project Name: Gerber Baby Food Portal
- Medium: Database / Web (Project leader - David)
Description: We developed the backend for the main Gerber portal website, including all customer registrations, dynamic pages and product databases.
For this site, we developed a unique feature called My Gerber, which allows a parent or other caregiver to log on as a registered user, and then provides the parent with personalized information from the site based upon the baby’s age. For example, My Gerber will notify the parent via email when the baby is entering a new phase of development and provides information as to what the parent can expect of the child both physically and mentally during that phase.
This portal encourages Gerber customer interaction and provides personalization of the website for individual users.

yayhotels.com - An Online Travel Group Site
- Client: Online Travel Group
- Project Name: yayhotels.com
- Medium: Database / Web (Project leader - David)
Description: We have worked with the Online Travel Group for several years now, beginning with the construction of their initial site database consisting solely of hotels in France. Over the years, we have expanded the site to include hotels from around the world, and expanded the project from a single site specializing in French Hotels to over a dozen sites that now allow users to automatically check the availability of hotels and make reservations online.
Part of the system interfaces with reservations systems using XML to provide the most current availability and pricing information. The administrative system allows the hotel database to be updated daily with new hotels and pricing and availability information.

Coca-Cola Company International Public Relations Database
- Client: Coca-Cola Company
- Project Name: Coca-Cola IntPr Database Re-Design
- Medium: Database Design (Project leader - David)
Description: Our chief programmer, David, led efforts to redesign the administrative tool that Coca-Cola was using to coordinate the release of their public relations materials.
At the time, they had difficulty coordinating the internal release of sensitive information stored in a local database with the external release of PR materials available to the public. We created the technological tools they needed to effectively manage and coordinate the release of this information.
Dell Computer Corporation Intranet Training
- Client: Dell Computer Corporation
- Project Name: Dell Intranet Training
- Medium: Network / Database (Project leader - David)
Description: Created a full-scale education and testing system on Dell’s intranet to train staff on web site content skills. The system pre-tests Dell employees, offers tutorials to improve their skills and follows up with a post-test to ensure that skills were learned and can be applied. The tests are administered and maintained via web-interface on the intranet.
The system enables employees to take the tests and tutorials at their convenience scheduling around normal work commitments, reduces Dell’s training costs, and allows for ease of grading and recording data on employees’ skill levels.
