Jefferson County (CO.) Public Schools - Jeffco Public Schools is the largest school district in Colorado with more than 84,000 students and approximately 12,000 employees. Jeffco needed assistance in the redesign of the districts’ public facing Departmental web sites.

This project also included Google Mini integration as well as implementing a WordPress based back end administration tool. The admin tool was built in a way so that users of various skill levels would be able to utilize the tool. The Google Maps API was also used to display school locations and gives site visitors the option of displaying directions to a particular location.

Problem: One initial requirement was that the entire site had to be static HTML. While most of the site content could be easily modified, managing over 250 individual schools and departments became quite tedious.

Solution: Using WordPress as a starting point, I put together a back-end admin tool that makes managing schools and departments much easier. HTML pages are created on-the-fly so that the requirement of a static HTML site stays in place. With Jeffco transitioning into a dynamic PHP platform, the initial admin tool was easily transitioned into the new environment.
