We launched the new website for “The Property School” just in time for the Property & Investment Expo.

This site is our first attempt at using RadiantCMS on production website, and it has been quite stable on MediaTemple. We’re still experimenting with this lightweight CMS as it still lacks alot of vital features like file upload and menu generation. There’s some obvious resource disadvantage with using Rails for this type of small content website. It is a decision to make between productivity and stability.
Anyhow, it was a fun little project for us.

We took care of the development work while Paste designed the site. What makes this website so special is that we are able to achieve alot of visual effects without the use of Flash. The entire website is developed based on javascript with the help of open source libraries - prototype.js, script.aculo.us and simpleslide. By following the web standards way of development, the site is search engine friendly and results in much faster page load.

The administration section is developed in Ruby on Rails. We have utilitised the built in functions from RoR such as the in-place editor, drag and drop list sorting. Therefore we’re able to develop this easy to use and customisable management system in such a short timeframe. The client is very happy to the management system without much training.

This site is deployed on the MediaTemple gridserver, we’ve found the mediatemple deployment gem quite easy to use and its very stable for this type of websites.

This is something we want to give back to the Rails community for free. The rubyonrails wiki had just too much spam and isnt a good way to search for Rails developers. We’ve a list of most recently updated ruby developers taken from workingwithrails.com. Anyone can post a job there for free and have their own account to edit and delete jobs. It also has a rss feed feature for job hunters to keep updated easily.
