The header of the website was created in Flash and is nearly all dynamic. The before and after photos are pulled from an external images folder with the help of XML, and the XML is actually updated via the admin panel of our CMS Made Simple installation. It’s a really awesome and user-friendly configuration. Once you are signed into the admin control panel, you have free range to change the X and Y coordinates of the images, the excerpt text, the before and after images (via a file upload input), the before and after weights, etc.

The beauty of it all is that there is never the requirement to create a new SWF file. It’s all entirely updated through an interface that even the least tech savvy users can figure out. Absolute perfection! As a bonus, the information pulling into the header is randomized every time the user navigates to another page or hits the refresh button. This was done through a simple Smarty variable in the back-end of CMSMS.

The other positive aspect of this is that the client has free range to update the ‘Success Stories’ section entirely through a user interface similar to a word processing application. The developer never has to get involved just to create a new SWF file, add imagery, etc.

Unfortunately since it’s still in development stages, I can’t post a URL immediately. It should be completed within the next few days though and I will be sure to post an update complete with URL.
