AT&T - ATT.com

AT&T came to the Branning Group just after their merger with SBC. They needed the Branning Group to build reports for them using the information from SBC. The Branning Group was able to take the data and transform it into the reports that AT&T requested.

The Branning Group worked hard to develop custom web applications that AT&T requested as well as create reports using the information provided. When finished, AT&T praised the Branning Group for the job they had done.

Boingos!

Posted by alexbranning in Portfolio on November 20th, 2009

Boingos! - Boingos.com

The Branning Group was able to help Boingos! change the way they took care to their sites content. The Branning Group implemented a content management system that would allow them to change the content on their site. The Branning Group also added an events management system to the site as well allowing Boingos! to take control of the information regarding their events.

The content management system enabled Boingos! to be able to upload photos on their site. They were also given the ability to create hyperlinks, and change the text on the site so it would be more appealing (i.e. bold, italics etc.). They were able to create a question and answer section so that they could keep up with their client’s questions and things. Lastly they were given the ability to add appointment requests as well as contact information. This allowed Boingos! to gain business directly from their site as well as from other places.

The events management system is very similar to the content management system in the things it allowed Boingos! to do for its events. There was the ability to upload photos as well as make hyperlinks and edit text. On top of all of the normal features the Branning Group was able to make each event have its own summary that gave a brief explanation of what was going on and a detail page for each event to give more detailed information.

Each one of these additions to the site that the Branning Group added helped make the site stand out so it visitors were able to navigate smoothly, as well as learn about the things they came to the site about. Boingos! was very pleased with the outcome of their site and what it has done for them.

The Branning Group has inserted an “add to registry” button to the product details page to allow new products to be added to existing registries. This will also make adding an item easier by allowing the items to be added with one click. Along with these features the Branning Group was able to add order tracking so the store owners can  see how many items are being purchased from their registries and the registry owners know what they can expect to receive from their registry.

The registries offer additional features such as being able to add edit and remove products using a fast and powerful GUI. They are able to search for registries that they would like to view as well as being able to utilize the print button for making a quick shopping list.
