The mandate given to us for the Holiday Bowl project was to update the look-and-feel, increase usability given the vast amount of content each website presents, give the San Diego Bowl Game Association (SDBGA) a way to manage the content on their own, and create new revenue opportunities.

Here are just some of the functionalities we developed:

  • Content Management System - the SDBGA will be able to maintain the content each website from any computer with an Internet connection.
  • E-commerce - full back-end capabilities to manage the sale of all of bowl merchandise and tickets for bowl events.
  • Banner management - the SDBGA will be able to manage their own pay-per-click- or pay-per-show ad campaigns to generate additional revenue.
We also implemented an email marketing platform to help promote each bowl’s brand as well as a web analytics package to allow the SDBGA to monitor the usage of each website.

In addition to developing both websites, we also built a standalone application for the SDBGA’s army of volunteers called the Red Coats and Red Shirts. Each year, the SDGBA host a number of events to raise awareness and money to help support the bowls. The application allows the Red Coats and Red Shirts to register as a volunteer from a list of available time slots. We built it in .NET and it came out really well. This will help streamline a big part of what the SDBGA is all about.
