Foremost Medical Cables - One of the interet's largest medical equipment dealers. Created a CMS to handle over 1000 products and designed the site. The product search engine is high functioning and able to compensate for spelling errors, disparate phrases, and incomplete data. I also programmed encrypted user registration and shopping cart.
Daryl Fleming - An experimental folk musician from Pittsburgh, PA. He wanted a bee-hive themed site to go along with the title of his new album Fable of the Bees. I designed the site with subtle animation and integrated his old site's content. One of the more technological triumphs was embedding a Quicktime movie player that did not open in a new window, but appeared on the page when clicked.
Miss Sweet Potato Pie - I designed the site from fliers provided by the client. It is rather sparse as far as content as of this update. We are still working on it.
Eden Home Cleaning - I programmed a template based on my client's design and photography and implemented rotating images and text. I also helped with the site's copy, as well as designed an alternative version for WAP enabled phones.
Wosa's Hair Supply and Salon has a gallery integrated with a simple-to-update product list, which can also be accessed as a web-store and interfaces with Pay-Pal. Other than a couple updates, the site has remained relatively unchanged for the past three or four years. Why mess with something that works? It benefits from high search engine rankings for most African-American hair styles. The site's store items are integrated into the style gallery.
Hair Extension Company was created as Wosa's expanded to the West coast. Designed to be "Wosa Lite" as far as content, stripped of almost everything except the web store, with a more hip feel and "action" colors.
Jack Edward Smith is a Flamenco Guitarist. I also did the layout of his CD and principle photography. I admit, his website is due for a make-over. Originally designed in 2000, the last update I made, a minor one, was in 2003. Since then, the guestbook was over-run by spammers and needed to be taken down. Jack has also start playing the Oud and Sitar and is about to release a song in a very traditional format: the music box. The site needs a complete overhaul.
Iguana Club Cafe went out of business in the spring of 2002 due a dispute with the landlord who wanted the space to contain a quieter retail store. I lived above the cafe and was long-time friends with the owner. I was payed in highspeed Internet access and the keys to the place. A lot of work can be done when you can make yourself a quadruple shot latte at 3 a.m.
I photographed shows, made an event calendar with an easy-to-use entry and update page and also set up a web-cam. The site enjoyed heavy traffic and was in the top 5 for "Rochester Events"
Ryan T Carey is also a Flamenco Guitarist, and his site is a few years newer than Jack's. He requested a clean design and that I use most of the copy from Jack's site. I had to make do. I also made some major updates to my template engine including added spam security to the contact form and started hiding my .cgi scripts with .htaccess to make them appear as if they are standard .html files.
Before a couple untimely deaths which disolved the company, Drugs.md was highly effective. We never spammed; never needed to. Enter a drug name in Google, and it was almost always in the top ten. After 9/11, with the anthrax scare, Cipro and Floxacin were the lead story of nightly news, and my site was #1 for those terms. For the site, I not only designed it but had created a template engine, fully functional price list search engine, shopping cart, and secured server credit card processing.
