2004-present: HICI-Shopper is a patio furniture shopping site
It was built largely in ASP with HTML, SSI, CSS, and VBScript using an Access database. I converted it to MySQL and
wrote the shopping cart system from scratch.
Credit card acceptance is still provided via a secure 3rd party service and is transparent to the user.
I brought it up to Netscape compatibility (HTML 4.1 minimum), and added tools (pages) to simplify data maintenance.
I've also done comparable work on the sister sites:
 BuyABirdFeeder.com |
 PatioSupplyShop.com |
 StopAndGoTires.com |
2003: Significantly revised the existing
www.NetworkSalesInc.com web site.
NSI distributes suspension components and systems for heavy trucks, tractors and trailers.
I updated the look, a little. The most significant contribution was the addition of an
ASP shopping cart, a simple-to-use cross-reference form to find parts using part numbers from manufacturers and
other distributors, and support pages to allow users to find and order parts by picking from a short list
selected by Original Manufacturer, type of part, etc.
Naturally, it is designed for widest browser compatibility and fast loading.
This site has over 1,000 lines of original asp/VBScript code,
and therefore less JavaScript than my previous e-commerce / web sales sites.
2001-present: MrTitanium's Art For Sale page
is mainly rendered in Perl from a database. The
linked shopping cart system that I wrote from scratch is based on JavaScript. I believe that only those who re-invent the occasional wheel, truly understand what a wheel can be made to do.
This set of pages uses the PayPal money service for Credit Cards and direct payments.
I also provide a self-totalling fill-print-and-mail order form for checks and money orders.
1995-present: My first web page was designed for FolkFire.
I started with notepad.exe and a book about the proposed HTML 2.0 standard.
It currently consists of over 100 html pages plus assorted graphics, javascripts,
and cgi-perl scripts.
It was originally designed for widest compatibility and fast loading. I've kept it simple and fast.
1995-present: The FolkFire Calendar Page. was originally generated by Visual Basic from an MDB/Jet database. I ported it to Access 97 in 1997. Finally, I moved it onto the web server and generate the html from a tab-delimited data file using Perl/CGI. I'm still using a homemade Perl flat-file database editor to maintain the events.
1997-present: My Technical Resume
has some interesting DHTML/CSS and javascript effects. It changes a little with each request I get for more information.
Visit this page to see more about my technical background, experience, skills, etc.
1995-present: My personal Splash Page
has existed in many forms over the years. It has some fancy javascript animation, but is basically a start page linking to
my 3 main site sections: Art, Technical, and personal. I created this page to stretch my skillset; for fun.
The Vanity page (shown on the right) is my true personal web site, and is worth a look.
May 2002: A utility for Buckingham Assets Management
Unless you are a BAM client, you can't actually view this page.
I selected and specified the server type (Win2k, for a change) and researched and selected third-party add-ons,
designed an SQL database for the 4 dimensional financial data,
ported the un-normalized data from flat sources,
developed a suite of form-driven ASP pages to extract,
calculate, and generate views of the data as graphs and pivot tables.
All ASP developed in a text editor, the SQL was prototyped in MS Access.
Jan 2002: Buckingham Assets Management commissioned an order form. Unless you are a BAM client, you can't actually view this page. It is visually simple, fast loading, easily maintainable and has over a thousand lines of tight Javascript and CGI/Perl code for fast data checking, order form validation and summary processing on the user machine, and to post-process the finished form on the server, routing each item ordered to the required agent.
1998-2001 (now superceded): Paul and Win Grace are Missouri folk singers who
asked me to design their first web site. It is a visually simple site, with 30 html/shtml SSI pages and a few javascripts.
One notable feature I designed is the
client-side albums order form, which automatically sums and calculates shipping and taxes.
It loosely encrypted credit card information to submit orders, thereby avoiding monthly fees for secure servers or cgi access.
