Narragansett Bay Shipping documents all commercial traffic in Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island. Besides for a rough sketch for the original home page, I have done all design and development work myself. The site is almost entirely data driven and very dynamic.
One of the key features of this site is its Admin Panel which controls many different areas of the site. See the 4th screenshot to see a complete list of its features.
The sites registered users have uploaded more than 15,000 images without ever needing to involve me.
The site is built on Adobe ColdFusion. It also uses CSS, jQuery, and JavaScript. Its data is stored in a MySQL database.
When I was first contacted by the owner of Tugboat Information he already had a website. He had built it himself using a free do-it-yourself website company. The site was completely static and required a significant amount of time and effort to make updates and maintain consistency amongst pages. It was time for a better solution.
I rebuilt TugboatInformation.com from the ground up. The only aspect that was maintained was the design. The site is now dynamic and entirely database driven. The site administrators can log in and add or update virtually every aspect of the site. Having a dynamic, database driven website ensures total consistency across pages. Updating its data takes a mere fraction of the time it used to take to update the old static site. Currently, the site has over 10,000 images uploaded to it, covering over 2,000 tugboats.

The Ocean Woodturners are the Rhode Island chapter of the American Association of Woodturners. Soon after joining the club in April of 2011, I volunteered to take over responsibilities as webmaster.
The club's existing web site was in dire need of updating. It had not gotten the attention it required in quite some time. After meeting with the club officers we decided to scrap the existing site, and build a brand new one from scratch.
The new web site is more modern and offers features that will not only increase the clubs web presence, but will also act as a communications hub to club members. Some of its key features are: a member directory with complete profiles, photo galleries, a classified section containing wanted and for sale items, a newsletter archive, and an up to date listing of our DVD library contents. Nearly all content on the site is controlled dynamically by club officers and members.

Similar to some of my other clients, when I was met the owner of YaYa Sisters Jewelry she already had a web site. The site met her needs initially, but her business was expanding and she quickly outgrew her web site's feature set. Her web site required HTML programming knowledge for each update and was relatively limited in its capabilities. Rather than making her existing solution more complicated, I opted to start fresh with a brand new site. Only the design was maintained.
The new site is 100% owner operated. Upon logging in, the sites owners can add or edit products, product options, product categories, and add or remove product pictures. Additionally, they can also update all site text and images. Customers can purchase items with custom options specific to each product, via dynamic PayPal shopping cart integration.

This site was already complete when I became involved with it. My involvement with the project has been maintenance and content updating. I have added and removed clients from the site, added social media links, and adjusted the rotating banner on the home page to improve site usability. The site was designed by Sarah Kilkelly.
The site is built on PHP. It also uses CSS and jQuery. All of its data is stored in an XML file.
This site was also already complete when I became involved with it. It was originally built for an art show in 2010. I have updated nearly all content on the page for the current year's show. I also worked with Sarah Kilkelly, the site's designer, to improve PayPal integration and give the site a slightly different look for the current year.
The site is mostly static HTML, although it also makes use of CSS and jQuery.
