While the main focus over the last 22 years has been providing IT technical services, I have designed, hosted and managed over one hundred websites during this time period. Recently, I have shifted all my focus to utilizing my Internet skills and abilities.
LAMP – Web Applications
Early in my web design career, it became apparent that database powered websites offered a means of easily and more efficiently managing a website’s content. This led to a focus on what was available that used PHP scripting language and mySQL databases, resulting in extensive experience in working with a variety of web-based database applications. Some example categories follow below:
- Blog & CMS Platforms
- eCommerce
- Maintenance Systems
- Sales Management
- Project Management
- Mailing List Managers
- Billing Systems
- Reservation Systems
- Community Forums
- Contact/Info Forms
- Photo Galleries
- Link Management
WordPress
I have been developing web sites using WordPress for over ten years (started with B2, the precursor to WP) and highly recommend this to all of my clients as it is a win-win for everyone. It is open source (free), the biggest (and arguably the best) Content Management System (CMS) and/or blogging platform available, and has a huge supporting community with thousands of themes and plug-in applications available. WordPress allows you to easily control your content on your web site and allows us to rapidly deploy solutions which, in the end, will save you time and money.
