The Problem
When we took over development of the https://shawneemt.com website, it was not a small task. One of the big looming problems for the project was the Weather Report functionality of their website. The original site offered a temperature readout with a weather icon of the weather at Shawnee’s facilities (within the hour) on the homepage, as well as a five day forecast on the weather report page. In addition, the back-end of the website let administrators update the report with the current status of the snow-making and various attractions.
All of this was custom work that the original developers at PeneTeleData had put together for them during the original development of their website. Not only did we want to port that over to the WordPress framework for them, but we wanted to make it faster, better branded, and more functional.
