This was a database driven website developed in the early days of my mySQL knowledge. Looking back I would have done things very different, but in the 5 years that it has been online, it has scaled well and handled all of their needs. It includes a backend for agents to add their own listings and a open house calendar.

Mr Reo had been my massage instructor at GW and mentioned he was interested in a website during class. This was a project where everything was done from scratch with no prior website existing. Its basically static content, just contained within drupal so that he can make changes to rates or text by himself.

Platypus Media had a website where content and layout were all in static files, inseparable from each other, as well as duplicate information contained within these files and the separate shopping cart software. If a special price needed to be set or a product needed to be renamed, this would require edits in 2-3 places, sometimes even more. I convinced them to move to drupal + ecommerce plugin, and although the initial setup was difficult, the end product is quite flexible. I also did a redesign of their site with the conversion to drupal.

Pen and Jen had a simple static website where they sold tea. They hired me to make some updates to their website, but I immediately discussed the idea of making their page dynamic so they could make these changes themselves and in the end save some money. The website allowed for them to upload pictures and add custom products to their website. The project was interesting because at this point I had been experimenting with generating websites that could interact with databases (later to become my senior design project).

I coded several small and large products for them including their main department's website. This was written from scratch in the era before good commercial style, but free, CMSs existed or had the flexibility to handle dynamic content. This website includes uploading of syllabi and entering course information for students to download at any time. It also includes a research module where each professor in the department can add their own publications in Books and Magazines to the website.

Jonathan Green was a programming gig where I worked with one other software developer and a graphic designer. It includes an "off the shelf" shopping cart, however the frontend was written from scratch and used the database schema and software's APIs to pull out information as we needed it.

Legacy Place at first seemed like a quick and easy website that I was supposed to convert from a static page to one living in a content management system. However, relatively soon after starting, I realized that it would need custom content fields and some real hacks (eventually to become modules) to make it all functional. It includes a slick interface to create interactive maps and a directions module for drupal so that shoppers can find their way to a specific store in the life style center.

This job was a quick and simple "convert brochure to a website" job where I was handed marketing PDFs and company brochures and expected to recreate it for the digital era. Nothing to spectacular went on for this site, just developed a drupal theme for it and set it free.
