Channel Computing of Penryn, Cornwall UK, have gone live with a new site for client The HypnoBirthing Centre , using Joomla 1.5.2 Stable, and the latest integration with Freeway Opensource eCommerce platform. Freeway was selected because of its online events booking and scheduling system, but its fair to say that aspects of the integration are still a work in progress, so there are still a few niggles to iron out.
The site uses as its foundation the nice template redevo-aphelion by redevolution.com, from the Joomla 1.5 template competition, a bit of a favourite of Channel Computing at present with its resizing, accessibility considerations and colour variations built in. The look of the template has been altered quite comprehensively, and there is still some work to do in that area.
The site also uses the latest Community Builder which means it still has to run in Legacy mode- at least until CB is available in native mode.
Technical Director of Channel Computing Peter Graves is a big fan of SmartSEF, but it can't be used at present due to issues with rewriting the URLs in the Freeway part of the system, so they have had to create a basket full of 301s redirects in order to go live in time.
Channel Computing have a bit more work to do but at least the site is up and running. You can have a look at HypnoBirthing Courses in London, Surrey and Wiltshire (http://www.thehypnobirthingcentre.co.uk) if you're interested; Channel Computing welcome any constructive comments or suggestions.
Finally a note from Pete at Channel - If you're planning on having kids - try HypnoBirthing - just look at these testimonials from the Mothers that have!
