Building a successful web site requires solid creative and technical talent. Below, I’ll highlight some of my contributions to some of the sites I’ve worked on. Janet Evanovich http://evanovich.com/ A site for an author of popular murder mysteries. It makes extensive use of XSLT to present samples of her novels and audiobooks, photos of book signings and readers’ pets, and a live poll, all from information her team enters into the Lightmaker CMS. JoinRED http://joinred.com/ A promotional site for PROJECT(RED), featuring news articles and information on participating sponsors’ products. This site is built on the Sitefinity CMS and involves custom programming for some elements, such as links which redirect users to international sponsor web sites based on the user’s location in the world. Paradise Horse Club http://paradisehorseclub.com/ A largely Flash-based site for a line of equestrian toys. The Flash games and quizzes communicate with the database via web services. The Story Chest http://thestorychest.com/ A site which allows people to purchase audio files of master storytellers reading their favorite stories. Purchasing is done through the PayPal API, and customizations to the Lightmaker CMS allow storytellers to upload and track their own stories. M. Night Shyamalan Foundation http://mnsfoundation.org/ Information about a charitable foundation, and online applications for scholarship grants. A good example of a simple site built quickly: I took mockups from the designers, cut them up into templates, set them up to fill in data from the Lightmaker CMS, and completed the site in four days. Delta Connection Academy http://dca.edu/ A flight school’s web site with a dynamic calendar of events, news articles which are grouped into archives by month, statistics on pilot graduation rates, and forms by which prospective students can request personalized information. This site is largely driven by XSLT on data entered into the Lightmaker CMS. Voice Chasers http://voicechasers.com/ A site built around the popular phpBB forum software. A phpBB theme was used and extended for the larger site; information about actors, roles, agents, and awards is stored in a database, is searchable by users, and can be edited by administrative accounts. Lightmaker CMS The system which drives many of Lightmaker’s web sites by giving clients a clean interface to structure and input data, which is then rendered into XML files for a front-end site to display. I completely overhauled the publishing system and the scheduling system for much faster and much more stable performance.
