Case Study: Eden Housing, Inc.
Project Type: Web App Development

Organization Profile:
Providing high-quality affordable housing to Northern California communities for 39 years! Eden is one of Northern California's premier nonprofit affordable housing developers and managers, as well as one of its oldest.

Project Overview:
Design and develop the new generation of the Eden website from ground up while allowing Eden Staff the flexibility to create and manage content within their site via a secure control (administration) panel.

Project Details:
An organization like Eden needs a website that makes it easy for the user(s) to view properties, get information on becoming a resident, job opportunities, organization history, leadership, and other general information about the company. It is equally important to empower their site administrators with complete control over the sites content.

Technologies Used:

• Graphic Design
• Microsoft’s ASP
• Access Database
• Javascript
• Custom payment gateway

Project Features:

• Complete site design
• ASP/Access based CMS
• Designed Look and Feel
• Dynamic news system
• Dynamic property manager
• Dynamic job manager

Project Solution:
The core of the site was built on our content management system (CMS). Once we had the core up and running, PharSide began customizing the specific required modules to allow the dynamic display of properties, news, press releases, job postings, and other types of dynamic content. Every single piece of this large website is editable via the easy to use but extensive secure administration panel. Eden staff can now maintain all of the sites content via a web browser with little or no knowledge of web design and HTML. PharSide setup an extensive user system which allows staff members and/or departments access to specific parts of the administration functions. Thus controlling who changes what within the site.
