Nordic Heritage Sport Club upgrades website with advanced information management tools

Febuary 2008 - The Nordic Heritage Sport Club upgraded their website in February with database design and development, website programming (including implementation of webservices), and hosting by Yellahoose. The site was designed by SlickFish Studios.



The Club promotes outdoor recreation and economic vitality in Aroostook County by providing first-class facilities and programs to residents, athletes and visitors.

The new website includes an easy-to-user content management system (CMS) the Club can use to add and update news, event, calendar and cross-country ski trail condition information, photography and documents.

The upgrade required moving the site to a more capable and robust web hosting environment and design and development of a relational database management system (RDBMS).

• The graphic design and user interface was developed in Flash, HTML, CSS and JavaScript. 


• The RDBMS was developed in MySQL. 


• The website was programmed in PHP. 


• Webservices were implemented in RSS.


• Web and database hosting was moved to a Linux server.


• Coordination of work and management of source files between designers and developers was managed using Trac and Subversion.


• Google Analytics was added so that the Club could track how the website was being used and to optimize it accordingly.
