In one of our biggest site launches to date we are proud to present the brand-new website for the Association for the Study of Medical Education (ASME)!
Based upon the Joomla 1.5 CMS, this site not only features a large number of pages which give details on the organisation’s conferences and courses but also allows people to book their place on those courses online as well as to join the organisation via the website. In addition it features a fully-comprehensive ecommerce system (based upon the Virtuemart plugin) which allows them to sell their Understanding Medical Education series of booklets via the site. Here’s the full list of features:
- Advanced forms for allowing site visitors to register for conferences and courses including one with custom javascript code to calculate the total they are due. All form data is stored in the database as well as being emailed to the site admins
- Online payment processing by Worldpay for both booking forms (members and courses) and the ecommerce system
- Fully-featured ecommerce system with custom postal rates and charges and an easy-to-track order process
- Abstract submission forms which allow users to upload their own documents which are then emailed to site admins
- A search facility which indexes PDFs as well as all site content and includes the relevant results in any searches performed
This site is a great example of how you can quickly and easily build a very powerful site by using Joomla and its various plugins. If you like the sound of the features we have listed here or would like to find out more then feel free to get in touch with us about it!
