360 Event Design
An event planner with a passion for food, art, service, and providing a superb experience for attendees and anyone else involved in her spectacular events.
Since this wasn't your average "planner" we had to come up with a site that showcased the interests and skills of the exceptional staff, making sure that all of the areas were properly called out and easy to navigate without getting lost in the sheer volume of content available to interested users.
RSS feeds automatically importing relevant information were added to enhance the readers experience and add to the amount of information available. An additional and non-standard to the CMS blogging component was added to make the blogging experience more seemless and easy.

The goal was to create a platform to highlight modern sophistry, intellectual dishonesty, social hypocrisy, smug attitudes of entitlement, and occasionally simple bad manners. The contributing writers call their families, strangers, neighbors, communities, leaders, and occasionally themselves to task for acts of shitheadery.
