About the project
Main Event is a site George (http://www.georgesabev.com), Chris and I developed to showcase the most exclusive and exciting events and venues in Cape Town. We worked tirelessly on this project as a team and feel so proud to have it live.
George was the designer – he and Chris drafted designs upon designs before a final crack was reached. I was responsible for the coding of the site both frontend and backend, the database design of the site, as well as developing a content management system for the site.
The dyanamic flash header was developed by Wayne Langman – Freelancer
Main Event Phase I was lauched on the 23rd of March 2009 after two years of consistent crafting of both its design, its features and core functionalities.
