I have finished another site for a client of DataPath. The company’s name is ProSource and they are a Professional Outsourcing Solutions Corporation. They are a Third Party Administrator located in Maryland and they handle benefit packages like COBRA, FSAs, and HRAs. There were some interesting things that I learned along the way with this site, as a work around because I couldn’t get access to do what I wanted. Firstly, they wanted a news and alerts section where they could just go on and add some news items, and they wouldn’t give me access to a database so I had to create a database from a XML document with ASP and XSL handling it on the pages. It was interesting to have to do and I was thinking about making a PHP version of it as well because it would be useful to have later on if anything came up again. Secondly, the people I worked with wouldn’t give me the SMTP information, so I couldn’t setup the email communication from the contact form and the Request for Proposal pages. So I found a website called Bexonsoft, which has a Free HTML Form to Email processor. The way it works is when a visitor submits a form on your website or blog, it is routed via their program to your email address. So you basically use their SMTP to transfer the mail to a certain email address. I thought this was a great work around and they also have a PHP version as well.  Other than those problems the site was pretty fun to make. Finished date: 7/1/09.

Here is another site that I have finished while working at DataPath, its called myPath. We needed a site that catered to TPAs, Brokers, Employers, and Employees that demos My Wellchoice+ wellness system. I designed and developed the layout of the site from scratch and was very happy with the outcome.  Some special features  include an admin section where Brokers and TPAs can print reports of which employees and employers  actually used the site for tracking purposes. Also they can download customized marketing material that I had to create for them as well.
