The Italian Masquerade was a large masquerade party held in San Francisco to benefit Hands On San Francisco, a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to helping busy individuals make a positive impact on their community. HOSF creates, manages and leads volunteer projects that benefit hundreds of San Francisco agencies. The goal of the web site was to provide another avenue to promote the party and also to provide rich content for people planning on attending the party. The site needed a clean and professional feel, along with easy access to party information. The site was constructed in a static manner and used only HTML and Style Sheets.

trucker of the sea July 2001

http://www.truckerofthesea.com Site is no longer active

trucker of the sea is an up-and-coming Seattle band. They needed a web site that would mark their place on the internet. The site needed a distinct design, but also had to provide a subscription system for an email newsletter, a system for dynamically adding URLs to a links page, and a dynamic content management system. The site would host information about the band, show lists, images, and downloadable music samples.
The site was built using PHP with a MySQL database. A customzied system was built to allow the band members to manage subscribers to the email newsletter and also send newsletters out to the subscriber list. Furthermore, all content through the site can be updated dynamically.

Lansing Funeral Home June 2001

http://www.lansingfuneralhome.com Site is still active

Lansing Funeral Home is a locally owned and operated funeral home located near Ithaca, New York. The funeral home needed a web site to increase exposure, as well as a place to facilitate communication between funeral home clients, funeral directors and people attending the funerals.
The web site was created using PHP, MySQL and Flash. All the pages are dynamically generated and the site was built with a back-end content management system. There is also a customized tool to manage the obituary section of the site. Funeral Directors can add, subtract and edit obituaries. The design of the site was centered around satisfying a broad audience and creating a very professional look and feel. Since Lansing Funeral Home already had television marketing material, Flash was used to transition the commercial into a web animation and add to the already peaceful design of the web site.

Oldtime Baseball Game April 2001

http://www.oldtimebaseball.com Site is still active

The Oldtime Baseball Game is a charity baseball game held each year in Boston, MA. The game is a celebration of baseball played by some of Greater Boston's most talented high school and collegiate athletes, with all proceeds from the event donated to a local charity. In an effort to increase awareness of the game and also to enhance the marketing of the game a web site was proposed. The main goal of the web site was to offer a complimentary version of the yearly game program.
The web site was created using PHP with a MySQL backend. The design of the site came directly from the yearly game program, but was slightly modified to enable more content and efficient navigation. All the content on the site was created to be fully dynamic. Furthermore, custom tools were built to allow for teams and players to be added each year. This allows the site to keep an archive of players and teams. Finally, to enhance the baseball game feel, a Flash animation was created to scroll through information required for the game each year.

Abbot Financial Management May 2000

http://www.abbotfm.com Site is still active

Abbot Financial Management is an independent privately owned capital management company located in North Andover, M.A. They needed a web site that portrayed a professional image and was extremely easy to navigate. The goal of their web site had two main points. First, to simply provide a presence on the internet. The web site needed to detail the company's offerings and provide useful information to drive client inquiries. Second, to provide clients a place to view monthly newsletters and quarterly sector allocation graphs.
I built the web site using PHP with a MySQL database. The site offered dynamic content management through a back-end system. Users could change text on any web page; add, edit and manage newsletters; and update numbers in the sector allocation graph.

Harris Assembly Group July 1999

http://www.harrisasm.com/ Site is still active

Harris Assembly Group is a contract electronic manufacturing company near Binghamton, New York. The company need a web site to provide a brochure like presence on the internet. The web site had to be built to compliment the brochure and other marketing material the company had already created.
My challenge in creating this web site was to make it identical to existing brochures, but at the same time distinguish the web site through the use of internet technologies. Since the site specialized in contract electronic manufacturing I created a customized DHTML script to bring the page title together, as well as adding movement in the form of a drop down navigation box.

E.S. Marks & Company March 1999

http://www.esmarks.com Site is still active

E.S. Marks & Company is a registered broker / dealer providing a broad spectrum of investment services located in Towson, Maryland. E.S. Marks & Company's main goals for their web site were to provide service information to prospective clients, provide newsletter and company information to existing clients, and also to provide an access point to a third-party account information service. This all had to be accomplished within a professional design that reflected organization, confidence, and stability.
The site was constructed using basic HTML broken out into various server-side include pieces. A content management system was designed using Perl to manage content stored in the server-side include files. Furthermore, a more complex Perl based newsletter management system was created to create, edit and delete monthly newsletters. With the clever Perl/Server-side include system in place, the site content can be completely maintained dynamically.
