Sites I worked on as a freelance developer.
The personal website of my wife, Becky Miller, illustrator of Boudreaux the Bright Red Crawfish. Her site serves as a virtual showroom for her art, crafts and projects, and as a small way for her to keep family and friends up-to-date with life in general.
Buy From A Christian is an e-commerce website with an emphasis on Christians helping fellow Christians buy or sell just about anything. Ten of their income is donated to churches or non-profits, they provide unlimited free listings for garage sales as a means of fundraising, supports a free church directory and allows business owners to list their business. I currently serve as the company's Director of IT and periodically get to dig into some ColdFusion code.
DiverseCity Kids is the children's ministry of my home church away from home, Hosanna Church. The site is running on a custom built CMS in PHP and is actively maintained by the church staff. The original site contained a less than attractive menu bar, but thanks to my wife, an interactive image driven menu is in place, adding to the overall appeal to the site.
Hosanna Church was my first client and my guinea pig when it came to creating websites. It served as my testing ground to learning various web technologies, most notably CSS, HTML and PHP, as I created features that the church desired, like an event calendar and photo galleries. Unfortunately, the site is not maintained and is outdated in its content and primarily serves as an informational website for visitors.
Imagine Christmas was an event held by Hosanna Church for the community of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina a week or two before Christmas. The first year brought in 12,000 people over a three day period, including one rainy day. It is a promotional site and originally did not have a need for additional pages. However, image galleries and testimonials were lated added to help further promote the event. Imagine Christmas is still held every year at Hosanna.
Star Industrial Staffing had a website that was created by a friend, but they were never able to really use it like they wanted, such as updating it with job listings or allowing people searching for work to submit their resumes. The site is running in CakePHP with CMS elements added to modify standard content pages, and was developed to meet their specific needs for job listings and resume submissions.
These are sites that I worked on as an employee of a company at one point in time.
The VP of Operations at Computrols stated the need of a better website, something "techy", something that would be more than just a Computrols website, but would also serve as a resources for the area of building automation. A Compurols' graphic designer came up with the design for the site and I created a custom CMS in PHP for the structure of the site, allowing for Computrols Customer Service to manage the site's content whenever they needed to, all without needing any major training.
WorldSTAT.net, a product of Computrols, received a much needed upgrade, modeling the same design as Computrols.com, and built on the same in house CMS that I built in PHP. The upgrade provided a better organized site, a resource for visitors, and was built so that it could be easily updated by anyone within the company.
These are all my websites.
