Web Design and Development Portfolio

Have a look at some of the web development projects that we have either constructed from the ground up or been involved. Keep in mind, this is not the entire list of the projects that we have built through the decades as many past websites no longer exist. Some of the websites may not appear to be "fancy", but each project is built to the client's specifications. As we are also sub-contracted by other design and advertisement companies to build and code their projects, we are not always allowed to list these items in our portfolio due to confidentiality agreements.

Concealite Life Safety Products

This website was a massive website that I built for a local manufacturing company. The website is no longer active as the new owners of the company were very inexperienced with websites and replaced this website with a cheap, DIY, non-functional WordPress website. Nevertheless, this website I built was completely automated. All forms on the website saved any data to the back-end administration area that I custom built for this website. The admin managed all of their quote requests for potential/current customers, which were automatically emailed and sent to the customer when prepared. It also managed the tracking function on the front-end of the website where a customer could track their order to see the status of it. The contact form would show in the admin as to whether each contact form submission had been taken care of or not. I also built a custom shopping cart for this website that would allow them to sell direct to customers, which they decided to not use after a while. There was a couple more databases I built for financial reports and marketing. All databases I built furnished various reports as well and provided many automated functions.
