Modern Web Design & Developmentby Michael W. Reeps

Web Development

While I am foremost a front-end designer, I also have significant experience with PHP/MySQL, and professional experience with Ruby on Rails, ColdFusion, and ASP.NET. Additionally, I am very comfortable with command-line Unix and version control (SVN & CVS).

  • PufferBelliesToys.com

    I worked with Pufferbellies, an independent toy store in Staunton, to create their very first website. I did all of the design work, as well as the front-end XHTML/CSS, JavaScript (jQuery), and back-end PHP/MySQL coding. The site features photo galleries, GoogleMaps with driving directions, Google Calendars and integration with the Pufferbellies blog (hosted with Blogger).

  • MakeYourOwnYogurt.com

    CSS/XHTML, PHP/MySQL tutorial that teaches users to make their own home-made yogurt, with step-by-step instructions and photographic examples. I wrote all of the content, took and manipulated all of the photographs, designed and coded all of the pages, and wrote the required PHP code and MySQL queries. I have taught people all over the world how to make their own yogurt with this site.

  • JewellsnWood.com

    Jewells 'N Wood is a pure CSS/XHTML design for renowned bird carver, and banjo madman Ken Jewell. I created all graphics, page layouts, XHTML/CSS PHP code, JavaScripts and user interfaces. Additionally, there is a flat file PHP back-end where Ken can add, modify or delete his own photos, links, and news items

  • NYC Address Finder

    CSS/XHTML, PHP, AJAX mini-app deciphers the grid of Midtown Manhattan. I developed this years ago, before the widespread usage of GPSs and online mapping services. Rather than abandon it, I have integrated with with Google Maps, using their Maps API & AJAX.

In addition to Michael's very strong creative design and web skills, he also had a strong marketing sense of the bigger picture of what was needed to make the company's interactive marketing efforts a success. He was a pleasure to work with and I would welcome the opportunity to work together again in the future.
