I've just finished a new site for a client - a searchable directory of UK schools and other educational establishments such as : creches; nurseries; playgroups; colleges etc.
This was an interested project as part of the brief was to a allow searches at specified distances from post codes. There was a lot of research needed to work out how to calculate the distance from any given point in the UK.
I would never have guessed it but it all related to something I learnt in school nearly 40 years ago !! Good old Pythagoras came to the rescue. Well that and some heavy duty maths and SQL statements.
The next step in the project is to build some more useful pages with content relating to schools and education in general. This looks as if the end result will be a really useful resource for people looking for schools in any given area.
The client has already been showing the site to other people and has been complimented on the look of the site and the ease of use :-)
