They range in topic from ways to improve your credit score to training for a marathon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Food For Thought website, the client moved on from the traditional way they offered courses \u2013 print media. Some advantages of a website were its easy access of listings through a browser and an initial one time cost to the client that would lead to future savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080;\" width=\"1920\" controls poster=\"https:\/\/tancin.net\/portfolio_mobile\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Food-For-Thought-video-thumbnail2.png\" src=\"https:\/\/tancin.net\/portfolio_mobile\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/FoodForThought.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Screen capture of course sections<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:bold; font-size:15px;\">Development decisions<\/span><br>The website was developed using CakePHP because it made building web applications simpler, faster and required less code. We just needed a server and a database and off we went.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The principal reason for the site \u2013 staff browsed and signed up for courses \u2013 lent itself perfectly to a typical e-commerce model \u2013 the shopping cart website. Therefore we organized the UI   \u2013 navigation, functionality, interaction \u2013 and information architecture accordingly. We then provided the client with a CMS to manage the course listings and the staff who wished to attend, replicating the relationship of product and customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two additions were a calendar and library. These functions were a natural evolution. The calendar provides another convenient way for staff to browse and pick. The library houses videos and podcasts of past courses for those who missed them or wish to review what they learned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything is skinned in a clean and positive visual design that brings levity and fun to the process of choosing a course.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>(Click on images of cart, calendar and library to enlarge.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"rl-gallery-container rl-loading\" id=\"rl-gallery-container-1\" data-gallery_id=\"3180\"> <div class=\"rl-gallery rl-basicgrid-gallery \" id=\"rl-gallery-1\" data-gallery_no=\"1\"> <div class=\"rl-gallery-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tancin.net\/portfolio_mobile\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Food-For-Thought-shopping-cart-e1689372912856.png\" title=\"Food For Thought shopping cart\" data-rl_title=\"Food For Thought shopping cart\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tancin.net\/portfolio_mobile\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Food-For-Thought-shopping-cart-e1689372912856-248x300.png\" width=\"248\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Food For Thought shopping cart\"\/><span class=\"rl-gallery-caption\"><span class=\"rl-gallery-item-title\">Food For Thought shopping cart<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"rl-gallery-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tancin.net\/portfolio_mobile\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Food-For-Thought-calendar.png\" title=\"Food For Thought calendar\" data-rl_title=\"Food For Thought calendar\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tancin.net\/portfolio_mobile\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Food-For-Thought-calendar-300x168.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" alt=\"Food For Thought calendar\"\/><span class=\"rl-gallery-caption\"><span class=\"rl-gallery-item-title\">Food For Thought calendar<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"rl-gallery-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tancin.net\/portfolio_mobile\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Food-For-Thought-videos-section02.png\" title=\"Food For Thought library videos and podcasts\" data-rl_title=\"Food For Thought library videos and podcasts\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tancin.net\/portfolio_mobile\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Food-For-Thought-videos-section02-187x300.png\" width=\"187\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Food For Thought library videos and podcasts\"\/><span class=\"rl-gallery-caption\"><span class=\"rl-gallery-item-title\">Food For Thought library videos and podcasts<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every year the Food For Thought website offers an array of courses open to all Viacom employees.
