My Portfolio

My work logically divides into two types of software, application software used for organizations’ “back office” functions, and publicly accessible websites. Many clients require hybrids where the two are combined or communicate with each other.

Application Software

Unfortunately, application software is difficult to showcase here since the sites only have a login screen that is accessible to the public. A face-to-face meeting is needed to demonstrate those, with the exception of two customer relations packages I’ve built that are packaged solutions and available by subscription: Dive Roster and Resort Roster.

In addition to the dive shop and resort software above, I have built extensive application software for association management, fund raising, customer relations management, billing and receivables, real estate brokerage document storage and retrieval, mortgage lender document storage and retrieval, music school administration, real estate school administration, and custom password vaults.

It doesn’t cost you anything to discuss your needs and see if I might have a solution that works well for you.

Public Sites / Hybrids – WordPress

These sites are used for marketing, sales, customer and public relations, membership communication, etc. Nearly every site I do now that is publicly accessible is done with WordPress, an infinitely customizable and very powerful CMS (content management system). It can be used for static sites that change rarely or for those that contain weblogs / news functions that are updated often. Many of these also have a custom database “back office” application apart from WordPress that feeds pages on the site and is used for other tasks.

There are varying levels of stylizing & design here, some I’ve done, others have been done working with clients and graphic designers. The idea behind a CMS though is that all content is created, edited, and managed by the clients, not me:
Course Creators
U of A Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences
The Child Language Center
The Fin Foundation
The Heath Team Mortgage Brokers
Sonoran Sky Realty
Replica Fighters Association
EPOutside.com
Advanced Payroll Concepts
Canatsey Homes
Matte Impressions

Hogan School of Real Estate

This client is unique in that the site is a very large public site but also contains a significant back-office application component. It was built before I was using WordPress extensively, but WordPress was later incorporated for the blog portion. Among other things, it includes a custom shopping cart, an online vocabulary workshop available to students by subscription, and scheduling information that is fed from a local in-house database.  There is a always lot going on with The Hogan School of Real Estate.

Other Public and Hybrid Sites – Pre-Wordpress

A number of these are highly customized while others were done before a CMS existed that I trusted or liked enough to transition from fully custom to semi-custom:
Adventure Scuba
Tucson Utility Contractors Association
Bock Construction
Whirlygig Properties

Geek Stuff

Virtually everything I do uses HTML/JavaScript/CSS on the front-end, is written in PHP, and uses MySQL as the database on the back-end. Don’t worry if this makes no sense to you, it simply means that all software I build can be deployed over the Web or used in-house, is written in a very fast, stable, and popular language, and uses a fast, stable, and popular database to store information.

I host nearly every bit of application software and nearly every website that I create. I also host sites and software that I haven’t built. My fees are reasonable, the service is personal and excellent, and the reliability is second-to-none.
