Project Summaries

PhilanTech [2005-present]: Work has been focused on PhilanTech’s flagship product "PhilanTrack". Working with the founder and subject matter expert, created the information architecture for both products, PhilanTrack for Foundations and PhilanTrack for Nonprofits, as well as the information architecture for the backend administrative interface. We worked with a graphical designer for the graphical design of the product that was based on Dannay Consulting’s initial concepts. Also supported PhilanTech in the development of the corporate website (revised design from a designer and built HTML templates), and with the customization of their online customer support application (leveraging Kayako). Screen shots are available via the company website for: PhilanTrack for Foundations, and PhilanTrack for Nonprofits.

Biogen Idec [2007]: Dannay Consulting worked with Biogen Idec on the complete redesign of the user interface (information architecture and graphic design, HTML/CSS templates, cross browser testing) for Biogen's Internal Asset Management Application used by 6000+ employees. The redesigned/ re-architected application was rolled out last fall of 2007, and was well received by the users. This is a proprietary application, but earlier templates can be viewed on the Dannay Consulting server: Biogen-Idec - BAM Application Early Prototype

Outside The Classroom [2005-2007]: Dannay Consulting has been working with Outside The Classroom since the summer of 2005 on a number of user interface design projects:

• Redesigned Outside The Classroom’s entire administrative application that is used by their clients (over 500 colleges and universities nationwide). This included re-architecting the content/navigation/structure and developing a new graphic design. The redesigned administrative application was implemented for the 2006-2007 school year and very well received. The prototype (HTML templates) of the administrative application can be viewed the Dannay Consulting server at Outside The Classroom - Administrative Application.
• Redesigned their flagship online educational program "AlcoholEdu" - changing the look and feel, and reworking the navigation.
