All Saints Church PasadenaApril, 2011
What I Did:
Content Management System (CMS), PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS
Partners:
- Project Management
Arroyo Design - Graphic Design
Orabor Creative
Responsible for both front and back end programming. Implemented a Content Management System with database generated menus and server-side dynamic PHP GD graphics. Created an advanced event calendar with XML synchronization to a third party calendar and ability to manage calendar in the back end.
Mod_rewrites were setup to assure better Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and for friendlier URL's.
The website utilizes the following two modules: eCal and TOC which you can learn more about in my Research & Development section.

A very visually appealing home page thanks to the guys at Orabor Creative. All sections were easily updated via the CMS and server-side PHP GD graphics script kept buttons and images clean.

Testimonial
I just wanted to thank you for the great work you have given us at All Saints over the past year and a half. You are a pleasure to work with. Your ability to "get us" and understand our needs from both a technical AND mission-driven perspective (and by doing so, give us exactly what we need) really enhances our working experience. Your patience, diligence, and the timeliness of your work are very much appreciated. Your knowledge, skill and expertise not only in programming, but also in analyzing, explaining and correcting problems that pop up (of which there are blessedly few) provide calm to the system, and allow us to work with confidence. And your collaborative spirit makes working with you a joyful and creative experience.
I would be delighted to recommend you to anyone -- as long as you've still got time to work with us!
I look forward to working with you for many years to come.
Many thanks for all you do, Thomas
