RecoveryView – An Online Journal

Villareal a marketing company in Southern California wanted to build an online journal for professionals. After the initial discussion with the company we helped outline a website that would allow them to regularly publish a professional journal for drug and alcohol counselors, conduct mass emails, provide automated CE testing as well as collect a subscription membership fee.

To achieve these results we started with WordPress. We then integrated WordPress with PHPlist and AMEMBER. This provided the mass email and membership capabilities needed. Our team set out building a number of custom WordPress plugins for the website. This included an event calendar, job board, and professionals directory.

After completing these custom WordPress plugins we built the automated CE testing and certificate plugin. This allowed the Villareal team to choose an article, create a test with multiple choices or yes/no answers. When a user takes the test the plugin automatically calculates if they passed. If the user did not pass they have the option to retake the test or reread the article. When a test is passed the plugin automatically generates a signed PDF certificate populated with the users corresponding information. To comply with accreditation agency documentation requirements each users information and test results are stored. These can be easily exported via .CSV to provide the adequate documentation needed.

After over a year of operation the website is growing quickly with a number of members, an active community and a great resource of information for drug and alcohol counselors.
