REFERENCE URLs

http://www.sandiegogeologists.org/ San Diego Association of Geologists is totally my production. I built the site in 1997 and have expanded and maintained it ever since. The idea is easy, intuitive navigation, with content maintained at least once a month. To help with meeting logistics, I developed some cgi/perl scripts to collect registrations and food preferences, print out the reservations for the officers via password protected pages, allow the officers to edit the reservation list, then rename the file after the meeting to start a new list for the next meeting. Users/members of the organization really like the site.

http://www.kathyloperevents.com/ I redesigned the overall "look and feel" for Kathy Loper Events. I built the international race tour pages, which include dramatic backdrop headers to set the "look and feel" of these adventure running tours and accompanying marketing HTML e-mails. I also made many of the information pages for local events and assist office personnel with entries for ColdFusion pages.

http://www.integratedconsultants.com/ As part of a DOD Mentor / Protégé program at ARINC, I restructured the Integrated Consultants Inc. website for improved stability / usability and taught the client how to maintain his website with Dreamweaver.

http://www.washfineart.com/ Artist Allan Wash designed this website to showcase his artwork, mainly paintings. I developed the JavaScript and other technical aspects to make his page design and colors work.

http://www.mhart-geoservices.com/ Mike Hart wanted a small site to describe his areas of expertise to potential clients - including government agencies, attorneys, land developers, homeowners, and geotechnical consulting companies.

http://www.sdep.org/ San Diego Environmental Professionals wanted a website to communicate with their members and with the community in general. I wrote several cgi/perl scripts so officers can update meeting information, collect reservations from the website, and print out a sorted list of reservations for check-in at the meeting, This was a turn-key project which they now maintain.

http://www.sdh3.com/ironrule/ Iron Rule Hash House Harriers is a fun, single page, JavaScript "Easter egg" enriched, introduction I built for a running club I belong to.

http://www.caro-lion.com/ This is my personal website that shows a number of projects I have worked on including various multimedia assets. There is also a small demo directory which is more "corporate" style (with Flash roll-over buttons) and includes a searchable cgi/perl/flatfile product database I built at: http://www.caro-lion/Demo/home.html.
