Signing Exact English (SEE)

2012 – 2015, MagicLamp Networks

Signing Exact English (SEE) is a sign system that matches signs with the English language. It is one of the first manual English systems to be published (1972) and has become extremely popular in the schools. Children who are exposed at an early age to SEE are able to learn idiomatic standard English and thus have learning opportunities similar to those of hearing children.

The Ask

With the online version of SEE’s dictionary, MagicLamp has designed a straightforward home page with clickable titles on the banner bar that lead to an About page that explains the difference between SEE and ASL methods of sign language; a Testimonial page that shares users’ family success stories; a Join page for subscribing with a discount for multiple subscribers on one account; and a Contact and Account page for informational purposes.

Once a subscription has been purchased, MagicLamp has equipped the site with interactive functionality, including a transcriber feature for English sentences and phrases, and video displays of signing techniques.

The site also offers extensive printing capabilities of signs for books, posters, flash cards, etc.

Technologies Used

SEE’s CMS was custom built and maintained using DotNetNuke and ASP classic.
