Widget is a GAS (GeekLabs Application Starter) based website framework. It's essentially GAS with FCKeditor and a CSS menu.
It runs this website as well as some others like:
ewichattanooga.org - Executive Women Intl.
astd-chatt.org - American Society of Training and Development, Chattanooga
UtiliFlex.com - Prepaid Electricity Utility Payment / Metering
In some ways, it is "Yet another CMS (Content Management System)" . It is almost what happens anytime you start working with PHP. I'm mentioning it because it's a good example of a GeekLabs philosophy that a good foundation can build many different kinds of systems, and it's useful partially because it is "not baked". This makes it easy to add special functions like membership directories and picture albums, or special content/article areas. While Widget is a wonderful tool, it's not the only thing we do at GeekLabs, but it's one of the few things that get seen by the general public. Most of our code and applications live behind the scenes, and range from Human Resources/eLearning applications with SCORM and AICC capabilities, to payment gateways and banking applications.
Widget is in constant development, is far from "polished" and someday I'll package it with a "README" file and post it as "Code" - but until then if you want a copy, send me an e-mail and I'll zip up the current version for you and e-mail it. We (GeekLabs) does not "sell" but we do make money modifying it and hosting things built with it for people. |
