Maxwell’s Driving School

Dave Pellegrin — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 22:47:41 +0000

Project Overview

Maxwell’s Driving School needed an upbeat website that would appeal to a younger audience. One of the requirements for the website was a practice written test. This practice test needed to be 50 questions out of a pool of 130 then randomized so every time the test is taken the user would get a fresh test.

Project Outcome

My biggest goal for Maxwell’s was to build a proper practice test for their users. Many other driving schools have sub par practice tests that don’t randomize their questions or answers within the questions, ours does. In addition to making the practice test better I wanted to mobilize the test to give Maxwell’s a technological edge over their competition. Steven Wagner of Maxwell’s Driving School informed me that their mobile practice test is being used through out Haddon Township High School in their Driving instructing class. At the last 15 minutes of class, the teacher instructs their students to use their mobile devices to take Maxwell’s mobile practice test. I’d say that’s a pretty outstanding outcome!

Psychology 21c/VE

Project Overview
Psychology21c (P21c) approached Hybrid Genius to design and build their “Virtual Environment” (VE) website. The website acts as a portal or micro-site to help inform the end users of news and updates on the greater picture in Psychology in the 21st century. The main backbone of the site was developed on WordPress and PHPBB. Major tweaks we used to achieve the multiple sidebar entries on the main pages. This was achieved by using PHP’s logical statements (IF Statements). Users can also sign up on P21c’s forums which is also done in PHP and wrapped in the WordPress skin.

Jack Elberson: Website

Project Overview
Back in late 2008 Jack contacted Hybrid Genius inquiring about a website redesign. The original site was done in a very “boxed in” FLASH animation with minimal pieces of Jack’s work. When it was created, Jack’s original site suited his needs but over the years Jack had more shots he wanted to update or add. He would have to supply these new pieces to the original web master and hope for the best in terms of turn around time. Taking this into consideration, we decided Jack needed more control over the content on his site. We used a highly customized install of WordPress to fit his current and future needs. Jack now has the ability to add, edit, delete pictures and content when ever he needs to. Additionally, Jack can now write about new projects on his blog which helps keep his clients up to speed. The end result was more than satisfactory and probably our best project of the year.

Client Background
Jack Elberson is a photographer based out of Collingswood NJ. Jack primarily shoots weddings but he also shoots commercial and fine art pieces. His fine art collection really shows off his passion for his work. A favorite piece here at Hybrid Genius would be the old sepia tone car. Jack’s work is both artistic and realistic and if we had to choose one word to describe his work it would be “brilliant”.
