Description

Dubbed the Club Soccer Module by the Odopod design team, this project is a web experience accessible via certain club soccer websites. Essentially, it's a custom Nike experience branded specifically for the soccer clubs with their colors, logo, club specific products and local retailer information. The site features news, soccer related products, photographs and cool links. All the content is managed using our favorite content management system, Expression Engine, including the content that populates the Flash areas of the website. The content in Expression Engine is fed to the Flash using XML.

You can see an example of how this works by clicking the following three links (• Dallas Texans • Real Colorado • San Diego Surf). Each link takes you to the exact same website; however, depending on the URL string used, you will see very different colors, logos and products loaded into the site.

When the project started, there were two goals: 1. Build a single content management system for both the Flash and non-Flash parts of the website, 2. Build a website that could be completely branded to the specific soccer clubs. The resulting website is a great of example of using Expression Engine and Flash together with a ton of back-end controls that the administrator can tweak to their ending delight!
