The Best Job In The World

Jan 15, 07:34 AM

As usual it’s been a busy few months here at BTD, having spent most of my time of late working with a fantastic team over at Cummins Nitro on a really interesting project – The Best Job In The World.

The site launched this week and has already had a phenomenal response, with a rush of dream job hopefuls causing the site to crash in just two days of it’s release.

Besides looking great with a nice design, great imagery and smooth flash work there’s a lot going on ‘under the hood’. This is easily the biggest site I have worked on in terms of ‘whistles and bells’. It makes use of over 30 scripts, libraries, frameworks, plugins and API’s, and just how the team enabled all of these to work in harmony across the site whilst still adhering to web standards is really quite an achievement!

Hats off to Matt, Horia, Glen, Anton and Mark. Great work, guys.

Hey Ben did you see this news article on the BBC news site: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7823812.stm It was headline on BBC News 24 TV too!!
