Some projects that I’ve worked on … past and present. And in no particular order.

	OCNexperts OCNexperts are the Neighborhood Experts. This is a neighborhood focused real estate and community site. I’m working on this with a friend of mine, Loren, at YourLocalTech. It’s using the Google Mapping API to show Garage Sales in the various neighborhoods, as well as custom forms and custom post types to implement other features. It’s also using some custom plugins to display real estate properties. Each neighborhood or area can be “sponsored” by an agent, with their contact information in the sidebar. Implemented using WordPress 3.3 with plugin and theme modifications.
	PlatinumMD PlatinumMD is an Electronic Medical Record keeping (EMR) application. This product is a web based application that provides all the software that a medical office requires, including practice management, patient records (EHR), document management, electronic prescriptions, appointment scheduling and billing. All in an eye-pleasing, easy to use product that works in a browser or an iPad. Implemented as a custom application in PHP, with heavy use of Ajax and jQuery.
	DIY Online Solutions DIY Online solutions is all about Simple, affordable and effective solutions for entrepreneurs and their web sites. If you need some easy solutions for your web site, take a look here. We provide tools, educational video and e-books as well as marketing and branding techniques. It’s everything you need for your small business web site. Implemented as a WordPress web site, with some custom WordPress plugins and a custom theme.
	Link or Not Link or Not is a free web-based Backlink Evaluation Tool. It checks a web page on ten different criteria to see if it would be worthwhile to get a link from that site to your own. Entering the link URL and your own page’s URL, is all you have to do. The report tells you in detail whether or not the link would be worthwhile for your SEO strategy. Written in PHP over a period of four days. It reads and parses web pages in order to find SEO markers and do its evaluation.
	DirectCRS DirectCRS is a direct college recruitment service. If you’re a student athlete looking for exposure in order to obtain a scholarship, this service can get you that exposure. I wrote this for my friend Rick, who had the concept for the site and just needed some help putting it together. It was my first project using .NET. Implemented in ASP.NET and written in C#. Site was developed over a period of three months
	SusanBock.com A site built for Susan Bock, a business coach specializing in women entrepreneurs. The site is set up to allow for people to order coaching programs and be automatically added to a CRM system that sends the program contents over time. Site is built in WordPress using a Custom Theme and a few Custom Plugins.
	YerJoking.net Bust yer gut laughing every day. This one is just for fun. It’s a WordPress blog that I’m using to test a few custom plug-ins as well as experiment with SEO techniques. One of the custom plug-ins sends short, funny jokes to Twitter throughout the day. Using this, I’ve been able to gain over 4,100 followers in a little over nine months. Implemented as a WordPress blog, with custom written plug-ins and a heavily modified theme that has seen numerous changes.
	INeedMyUsername This tool is use to check the availability of a name to be used on one of over a hundred Social Networking web sites. I developed this as a WordPress Plugin to work as an example of the types of applications that can be created within the WordPress environment. Implemented in PHP as a WordPress Plugin and using Ajax to perform the user name check for each of the supported Social Networking sites.
	JoelBauerSpeaks.com This is a site I set up for Joel Bauer, a Speaker and Trainer for business people. It features a WordPress Plugin that I designed that will display a “Splash Screen” to capture visitor’s email addresses no matter how they arrive at the site. Once the email address is entered, the plugin allows for normal navigation. Site is implemented in WordPress using a Custom Theme and Custom Plugins.
	Hearts for Hounds This is a site I built for a non-profit dog rescue in Long Beach, California. It’s fairly simple, with a few pages of information but it contains a gallery of the dogs that are available for adoption. The gallery is managed in a database so that it can be updated as new dogs come in and others are adopted. Implemented in PHP with a MySQL database.
	The Pet Food Bank Another charity web site for the dogs. Renee runs the pet food bank, a non-profit organization that provides food for dog and cat shelters and rescues in the southern California area. This is just a simple HTML site. I moved the site as a favor for Renee and did a few minor changes.
	slamgreetings!com Another fun site. Send “snarky” or “slapstick” e-cards to your friends and co-workers. My friend Jay asked me for some help with this site. We’ve been discussing design and implementation ideas as well as features and how best to go about implementing them. Site is implemented in PHP using CodeIgnighter with a MySQL database. You can log in to the site via your Facebook or Twitter account, or register to the site using your email address.
	BonnieJillBlog.com Bonnie-Jill Laflin is a model and actress and an NBA talent scout for the Los Angeles Lakers. The site is platform for her to talk about things close to her heart: Animal Rescue, Sports and supporting the military. Site is build in WordPress using a Custom Theme.
	McDonoughInsuranceServices.com This is a custom designed WordPress theme. The customer send me an image to show what they wanted and I built the custom theme to match that image. I also created two custom plugins that allow the client to change the content displayed within the header area and to create a custom insurance quote form that can be added to any page on the site. Site is build in WordPress using a Custom Theme.
	BeachCityHealthInsurance.com This is another custom designed WordPress theme. Once again, the customer provided an image of what they wanted and I created a custom theme to match it. Custom plugins were used to allow the client to change the content displayed and to create a custom insurance quote form that can be added to any page on the site.. Site is build in WordPress using a Custom Theme.
