This web site honors the memory of Gillian Sabet, who was killed in a car accident on May 26, 2005. The web site features a Macromedia Flash homepage, photo galleries, streaming video, and a very popular guestbook powered by a MS SQL database. Gillian's parents can manage guestbook entries via email and upload photos through an easy-to-use interface. In the first six days, the site received over 20,000 page views.
Site Features:
Dynamic photo albums and Flash-based slideshows that automatically update whenever Gillian's parents upload photos to the site.
Guestbook AutoVerify: Guestbook entries are sent to the family before they are displayed on the web site. The family can click a link from within the email to instantly approve the guestbook entry.
Streaming music loads independently from other content, increasing the download speed.
Video is streamed from a separate specialized server to optimize performance and site availability.
