Goals & Requirements
Choose-a-thon wanted to build an online fundrasing site designed to help organizations implement 'thon' style fundraisers (walk-a-thon, dance-a-thon, etc.). The site would need to allow organizers to enter organization information, enter and invite particants via email, allow participant sign-up, sponsor pledging, progress notifications, e-commerce payment, complete administrative tracking, and more.
Results
Traditionally, building a site of this complexity would require a programming team. Using the Asset Manager, Asset Entry Workflows, and Asset Display, the management of data becomes available to the web designer. HyperSites Builder provided the tools needed to meet all of the client's specifications, and Choose-a-thon is looking forward to a successful fundraising season this fall.
The power of HyperSites Builder extends well beyond basic websites.
