Anthem Connects

This site is built using the CodeIgniter PHP framework. Very happy with this framework so far. It does everything I wanted a framework to do. The site is mostly static content except the Health Footprint and 10-day boost sections. The Health Footprint Calculator is heavy on Javascript. The front-end experience was built using jQuery. The back-end is driven by PHP and MySQL. Users can register account, take the quiz and track their scores. A admin tool was also included. It allows the admin to add new questions, answers, weight for each answer, The 10-day boost is simple. List of youtube videos plus some social elements.
