The Culinary Institute of New Orleans is for one of the leading cooking schools in the Gulf South. Originally conceived in 2000, it was positioned to provide information about the school, provide tours of the facility, sell merchandise, provide recipes and also feature information about its' companion restaurant, the Chef's Table. In 2003, the school decided to take the site's design even further by adding a more usable design and additional experimental Flash 7 elements. More virtual tours in Flash were produced and a new recipe database was created to allow users to use one screen in one Flash movie to view all the recipes in their database. In additon, a new Alumni section was added to provide graduates a way to stay in touch with fellow students and also allow for resumes to be posted to the site. This site was named the Macromedia Site of the Day on September 10, 2004.
