Just completed a new WordPress eCommerce site based on WooCommerce and the StoreFront style. The client and I are extremely happy with the results and how quickly this site came together. The site has intuitive management system and the process customers to select the color and size of shirts is easy. The cart works smoothly, when the customer adds an item to the cart a couple of buttons appear below the item offering to take them to the cart or check out page.

There is a plethora if integrations such as stamps.com and events calendaring.

The site is Jefferson Outfitters.

Just completed a word press site (see Passport Trust link) with the Electronic Digital Downloads add-in for sale of a PDF file. The system is integrated with Affiliates pro and Mail Chimp. Affiliates Pro will allow tracking of sales from an affiliate team. The PDF file is dynamically created with the affiliate information added to the forms so they can be credited appropriately. The Mail Chimp integration will forward the purchasers names into an email list so that follow up information can be sent on how to use the PDF. I also functioned as a project manager with a designer for the graphics design of the system.

The Data Center has begun development of a new site Sell Your Gold Locally to facilitate sellers of scrap gold jewelery find the best price from a local buyer. The auction system is based on a modified version the open source WeBid php software.

Update 03/15/14: Upon investigating the market via a highly qualified investor, it was discovered that this market has shrunk 99% since the peak of the gold price. Based on this info work this project has been halted. However having worked with the WeBid auction system I am highly impressed with the quality of the system design and code. The Data Center will continue to offer implementation and modification services for the WeBid auction system.

Just completed a project that uses SQL Server 2008 DBMail to send complex formatted Access reports as an HTML email. Using this SQL Server feature allows us to create a central repository of all the email sent to an individual by the organization. Any user on the system can review and resend an email. These emails are legal documents that notify a member of a rules violation. The format of the HTML email is almost identical as the printed document and will include an invoice and a statement if multiple amounts are still due.

One of the advantages of this system is that the administrator only has to set the email account settings up once on the server. When a user pulls up a members record in the MS Access system all emails sent to that member are displayed.

We do a lot of our database development on remote servers and our previous service was lacking when doing VPN connections. This is a major up grade for our capabilities.
