mypackag.es design work

mypackag.esQuick project from last week has gone live over at MyPackag.es

A cool service coded by my buddy Chetan in NYC.  MyPackag.es let’s you forward any email you get confirming the delivery of something you purchased online, and they do all the tracking for you and email you when your package is in route and delivered.

I provided the style for the project and assisted some in the HTML implementing it into the site.

WordPress vs. Drupal… Fight!

DrupalHere’s an interesting article about the difference between WordPress and Drupal.  I tend to put my clients into 2 camps, those who WordPress will work best for that just need a blog and access to update content,  and those who need something more complicated, user profiles, advanced permissions, e-commerce, etc. who I recommend we use Drupal.  Wordpress has for sure taken some big leaps into what Drupal provides, and Drupal 7 has come back with major useability fixes to try to lure WordPress developers over the Drupal side.

I thought this article summed things up nicely :)  http://zenofnptech.org/2011/02/wordpress-vs-drupal-fight.html

While I’m a huge fan of Drupal, I’m a bigger fan of using the right tool for the job, and I use WordPress very often.  Mostly in my work with SocialNicole who’s clients lean towards needing what WordPress easily provides.

SEQUEL Software

SEQUEL Software is a Drupal based website for parent company Help/Systems.  I took over the development of this site mid-stream and continued to build it out to include features such as:

  • user profiles
  • upgradeable roles with connected permissions
  • access regulated downloads
  • live chat functionality
  • access for content providers to author pages on their own

I provide ongoing development support for the site as it continues to grow!

Migrating a WordPress site

Here’s a project from a few months back!

A buddy of mine Luke Grohovsky, asked for a little help migrating a WordPress site that he had built from a development server over to production.  Always happy to help, this took me just a few hours of backing up the database and files, pulling them over and reconnecting everything.

Someday WordPress will make this a more seamless effort.  Until then…

Primera Emailer – End of year sale!

Just wrapped up production on this quick emailer for Primera.  Nothing too fancy except for some subtle details to bring out the math of bundling the products that they wished to promote for the end of the year.  They came to me with some basic direction and let me me run with it.

Approved, optimized and delivered, Primera is a good example of a client who guides projects while letting me do what I know is best in many respects, the perfect team!

MUSHR – Minnesota’s Unwanted Siberian Husky Rescue

A few months ago I developed the site for MUSHR.

The folks at MUSHR are an amazing group of volunteers and it was so nice to work with them and help!

Ok, I PROMISE I’m going to blog more often, if for no other reason than to keep this portfolio up to date with my projects.  So here’s one I completed a few months ago and continue to support.
