Site Spotlight: CampKettlebell.com

Life has been crazy busy lately, but thats a good thing. For this spotlight, I want to highlight CampKettlebell.com. This is a little self-serving because this is a site that my company did.

If you aren’t familiar with kettlebells, they are a terrific exercise tool. Basically, they are weights with a handle. You can do tons of really challenging exercises with them. Camp Kettlebell is a class put on by a local trainer that has several certifications in kettlebell training.

For the site, the main needs were to be able to update it, have a news section, an exercise section and let people pay online. To accomplish this, we setup a fresh ExpressionEngine install with a main weblog, and a weblog for each of the other categories. We used freeform to handle the form and some cool little PHP bits. For example, when he uploads a news item, if he uploads an image with the same name as the article title, it will insert the image automatically. If not, there is a default image that will be inserted. Same thing for the exercises. We also created a weblog to update the form with the dates of the camps. He can create a new article in that weblog, give it a name (Say Summer 1) and then select the start and finish dates on the calendar, save, and it updates the form. Pretty cool, huh?

When you have a few minutes, check out the site. If you are in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and are looking for a kettlebell training program, sign up and prepare to be sore.
