7systems contest and voting in WordPress
7systems is a small firm run by several athletes who manage the business in their personal time – they all have pretty impressive day jobs. They wanted to run a contest to build awareness of their excellent product among non-users and so they designed a contest that would encourage athletes to tell their story online and then have their friends and family come and vote for them. 7systems didn’t have the budget for a full custom voting application so they asked us to build some inexpensive voting functionality. One of the reasons we love WordPress is the availability of free plugins. We researched and found the WP-Post Ratings plugin and then customized the look & feel as well as the functionality to suit their needs. You can visit the 7systems website here but the voting pages have been removed as the voting period ended June 30th.
