Project Summary:
The Obama Ball is an invitation-only gala taking place Inauguration weekend 2009. To help invitees learn about the event and make reservations, I developed a private (password-protected) website that provides all key information about the event and enables invitees to purchase tickets online. Google Checkout provides an extremely low-cost way for the event organizers to accept credit card payments, while assuring purchasers that their transaction is secure.

Implemented using a content management system (CMS), event organizers with no technical background can easily and quickly update the site with news or additional information. The design, meanwhile, is custom-developed for this client and intentionally plays off the President-elect’s campaign and transition materials.
