The My Event platform, which lives on davidsbridal.com, allows brides to connect with their wedding parties and other important members of the planning process via the social methods that consumers are most accustomed. The platform suite was based on extensive research by David’s Bridal and is designed to address the key challenges and stressors that brides identified in their wedding planning.
Development
My Event was a full redesign project, I entered the project in a later phase helping with extending the code already implemented with cross-browser support including Internet Explorer 7+.
It was really challenging because the tool was implemented in period when there weren’t normalized web standards and we had to address some of the issue per browser basis and sometimes even for Internet Explorer versions themselves. Crafting a solution ad-hoc for each Internet Explorer version.
