Web Application Development

From calendars to shopping carts to wikis and back to blogs, if you need an online application, I can help you design it and then develop it for you.

My background in Computer Science provides me a strong foundation of programming and software engineering. I've been designing and developing online applications since 1998 using a variety of technologies. But, why would you want to write an application for the web? Chiefly, because it allows you to access and manage your information from anywhere in the world at any time. And, the web can easily collect information from a variety of people and store it all in one, central location: an online database.

And this information need not be limited to visitor feedback and surveys. I can produce Content Management Systems (CMS) applications that will allow you or others you designate to enter and edit information in your database which will change the content of your web site! This will help you run your site without having to come back to me every time a slightest thing needs to be changed. These systems can be as simple as a blog or calendar which can show current information and events to your visitors or more comprehensive systems that allow you to add, edit, and delete whole pages from your site without having to know a lick of programming.

When you don't need something custom designed, I can also point you in the direction of applicable third-party applications many of which are both free and open-source, meaning we can often modify certain aspects of these applications if you need a little tweak but not a whole new system.
