Amy Porter
Amy's site was a real pleasure to develop in collaboration with Amy and Justine Sedky (the co-producer of Amy's podcast). She wanted a single page design for an endless scroll navigation rather than traditional navigation. We included the menu at the top to get the best of both worlds.

Equilibrium
Equilibrium is a sister site to soundset.com, and their management area controls both sites.
The two sites require essentially the same functions, so there is a good amount of code sharing, but there are differences to account for in terms of the catalog and the design. It can be challenging and rewarding to develop a single code base to handle more than one site.

Danwen Jiang
This site included some nice new effects. The smooth fade works in current versions of all major browsers (except IE, of course) and even WebOS. The effect was added
here at Lanternworks too, but only on certain pages and with a quicker (less dramtic) fade in. We also worked out more intuitive navigation for the gallery than I had
been using on other sites, which have now been updated in the same way.

4010 Pleasure
The most challenging aspect for this rental property site involved the availability calendar and tying the
backend management system to the public site. Having done this kind of setup before at
Poe Haven Getaways,
I took the opportunity to create a reusable block of code to generate the calendar and all of it's functions.
A reusable validation class was also developed coincidentally with this project, which combines server side and client side form validation.
This has now been deployed across all of my sites, saving a great deal of work going forward. Great fun!
Archiefile Webapp
ArchieFile is a web-database program designed
specifically for service based businesses. It is a powerful
information management tool which enables you to
store and retrieve all of the relevant information for each
of your jobs in a highly organized manner.
ArchieFile is based on a record keeping system developed
by Thomas Archibold Sr. during his 41 years working
in the construction industry. This system (a.k.a. 'the book of knowledge'), which was
spreadsheet based, has been given a more robust and
capable database backend and a web interface.

related resources, and to communicate with others about specific works in their repertoire.
Soundscholar supports threaded (bulletin-board style) discussions, audio, video, graphic files, pdf files, search, filter, logs, and generated useful statistics.
Soundscholar's
Braintrust feature provides a simple means of communication with others
to exchange information, ideas and resources.
The
Log System provides a highly organized and convenient
way to store notes and capture observations about
your repertoire. Comments can be linked to works as a whole, to sections,
or even to individual measures. The same is true for audio, video, scores,
sources, PDF files, graphics, and notation files (Finale/Sibelius, etc).
