NOTE: An updated list of my portfolio can be found in the new site: www.Deer-Creek.ca.

Consider this: Five years ago, having a web site was a vanity, two years ago, it was trendy, today, having a web site for your business is a necessity. If users cannot find your company on the web, they will probably find someone else.

There is a list of client websites along the left side of this screen. Feel free to browse through them. Below are three sample case studies.

Case Studies

The following web sites were conceptualized, designed, and are maintained by myself. However, with the content management I added, some of the maintenance work can be made by the client. They enjoy this feature because it allows them to change some content at their discretion without calling me up for changes.

To see functionalities that I can add to your web site, click here.

Filipino.ca (www.filipino.ca) is the largest Filipino-Canadian online community. It is an ASP-driven application using SQL Server for the database in the backend. With this combination, I am able to create features such as rotating advertising banners, featured members, guest books, private messages, events calendar, and more. Using the open-source "MegaBBS" as my foundation, I am able to create my discussion forum with many modifications including the web site's own points system and the ability for members to change themes (shown above). A hidden administration web site allows the administrator to control the content like changing the featured member and displaying server maintenance messages right on the site.

Himig Pilipino (www.filipino.ca/himig) is a chorale music ensemble promoting Philippine heritage for over 20 years. The goal was to create a web site that makes the user feel the culture through the use of fonts and images. Using Active Server Pages with an Access database, I created a guest book, members page, and news section that can be managed (content management) via an administrator page. The administrator is able to add and edit the news, members info, upload member pictures, and delete guest book entries all of which take effect immediately.

Chyrell Samson (www.chyrell.com) is one of the Filipino-Canadian communities most visible artist. She required a web site not only for her singing repertoire, but also just in time for her first solo concert. The website designed using Active Server Pages and Access database contained a guest book that had multi-status entries (pending, active, deleted) which allowed the administrator to screen entries. The web site also required a soft and calm experience which reflected Chyrell's music style and personality. I added background music and converted a few of her audio tapes to mp3's available for users to download.
