This is a recent (and ongoing) project involving Node.js, Express, and MongoDb. Though not the initial developer, I've assumed full responsibility as of this writing. The front-end uses Handlebars for the HTML, which is pulled largely from Mongo collections. There is an admin backend with various reports, and unique database manipulations. Various GUI elements are composed of the Bootstrap framework. For SEO optimization, several NPM packages are used (with Grunt) like cssmin, htmlmin, grunt-shell, etc. so that pages are compressed and loaded quickly. (And also to speed up the development process of course!). The site runs on Amazon EC2 and is quite speedy.
This site is built in a typical LAMP stack (Linux / Apache / MySQL / PHP). There is no PHP framework utilized, except for perhaps the very simple phpti framework. There is a heavy backend, however, that uses PHP, along with some GUI elemnts like jQuery UI "autocomplete", and several fancy tricks to allow Sales and Software Engineers the freedom to upload and assign software to customers, in an intuitive (!) way. Lots of Ajax! The customer-facing side of the site inclues a cart system (now antiquated) known as "Checkout By Amazon". Though being replaced with "Pay By Amazon", the solution is still fully functional for both domestic and international orders as of this writing. Checkout By Amazon requires an SSL certificate, and some knowledge of SOAP/WSDL in order to implement it. (I got away with using a PHP Wrapper library I found).
Oh what fun I had here. This site utilizes PHP, but you perhaps wouldn't know the difference unless you browsed to the "Auction" area. There you find evidence of something highly programmatic, because the auctions can hold hundreds of items. Though largely inactive, in its "prime" the site was able to host live auctions where users could register and bid (much like eBay). Though it utilized a simple JavaScript polling mechanism, it was largely a success, and the client was able to have several successful auctions. (These days, I feel like Node.js may have been a better choice than the polling mechanism, but I wasn't familiar with Node at the time). Using a back-end admin area I established, the owner was able to setup and tweak auction settings (description, product images, etc.). After each auction, I ran a script to generate invoices for all the customers, which he could then give to each buyer.
This website is a Wordpress website based on the Studio Box Wordpress Theme. I was not the initial developer to set up this website. But after a while, the owner (my pops!) contacted me in order to implement a customer-facing eCommerce solution. Thankfully, this proved to be relatively easy through implementing a Wordpress plugin known as WooCommerce and an additional WooCommerce plugin to tie into a QuickBooks Merchant Account. Other than that, I was also responsible for sprucing up the site some by adding in several stock images, new pages, and a Big 'ol red "Upload" button (thanks to this plugin) that allows customers to upload design files, etc. directly to my client without having to use any kind of 3rd party file-sharing service.
This is another Wordpress-based website based on the Compass theme by InkThemes. The visual design was modified somewhat heavily, so my CSS skills were put to the test! But it is for the most part a barebones and simple site. However, there was some custom PHP development in order to allow the client to have an editable Bible verse Scripture area in the sidebar. Like most of the sites I work on, it is fully-responsive, and mobile-friendly.
Probably one of my first bouts with Wordpress, I am still pleased the way this site turned out. It is built on an old Wordpress theme called Impresa, which is no longer active. This site gave me my first experience learning about Wordpress "child" theme implementation, and other ins and outs of Wordpress (like how to manage SPAM, sheesh..). I even migrated hosts at one point, and the site is still running like a champ. We've had our moments, but @Wordpress, please consider me a fan!
