In 2010 Alan Boris LLC led the technical development of an exciting new venture called SeeMeGetFamous. A site was developed that allows users to upload videos portraying their talent to be considered for inclusion in a national TV show. I led a team of designers, copywriters and developers to build and deploy the site. Instead of using off-the-shelf software or content management systems, the unique requirements dictated that we develop from scratch using ASP.NET. I coded all of the forms and the backend SQL database, while another developer coded the video upload portion. Yet another developer helped create the intricate back-end administration system used by SeeMeGetFamous staff to evaluate the uploads, respond to inquiries, bill customers and build the show’s edit decision list. This was a fun project where we had the opportunity to integrate a lot of interesting video technology. Because the client was starting from scratch, I also sourced all of the video editing software, stock footage and royalty-free music. In addition, I personally edited together the first episode which aired on three national cable networks!

Legal Website
Another website project in 2010 included custom programming for an existing legal website. This website, which prepares key legal agreements for upstart businesses, also required some user interface improvements and enhanced usability. Alan Boris LLC worked with the owner of the site to come up with an improved “wizard” style interface to make it easier for users to step through the process of signing up. This helped improve visitor retention and resulted in the closing of more sales.
Other features we added were the ability to accept credit card payments through the site, a streamlined back-end administration system, and SEO bolstering modifications.
