Portfolio

My main interest area is php application developement, specifically in the wordpress area. I do occasional ‘fix’ websites for people or create the whole thing. I am not a graphic designer.

KirstenLees.com

Bantry Bay Holiday Apartment

A simple holiday rental site, describing the property and it’s location.  A simple dynamic availability calendar was provided so that the owners could mark booked out periods.

Van Bergen Designs

Julie has an interior design business. Julie is a perfectionist and designed the look of her site and a graphic designer provided the leafy streaks.

Currambena Primary School

Currambena needed a simpler content management system so that relatively inexperienced parents and staff could easily maintain the web. The CMS was converted to wordpress with minor changes to the style. A number of parents and staff were trained to maintain the site. A online newsletter was implemented with special print styling to continue the printed edition. A school blog A RSS to email subscription facility was implemented.

A events calendar using google calendar was implemented, allowing an agenda style dates presentation, as well as subscription to calendars from outlook or other google calendar accounts.

The website has been revamped and the graphics designer overlaid joomla on top of the wordpress install (not ideal for the users in my opinion, but I needed to ‘let go’  as my youngest was about to leave. )

Lane Cove Dance Academy

Lcda’s website needed an overhaul. the new owners also needed to maintain their web more easily. Their hosting was moved to a more cost effective platform and wordpress installed as the CMS. A standard theme template was used, slightly tailored with an image specific to the school.

Northern Districts School of Ballet

NDSB’s owners were the new owners of LCDA. The Roseville (NDSB) school did not have a website yet. The domain name, hosting, cms and web content were setup. A similar template to LCDA’s was used, with different images and content specific to that school.

Hlakanaphila Analytics (quanta.org.za)

“Hlakanaphila Analytics” needed a simple but professional and cost effective website. It needed to be maintained very simply via the web, with limited (some) html knowledge. The prior web had developed problems because of difficulties in maintaining the content. An initial simple style was developed with an intention to revamp again at a later stage.

By the People

“By the people” needed a simple CMS as multiple people would potentially be adding articles to the website. A blog style CMS suited the situation well as most of the content were articles on various related topics. The blog category concept worked well. The articles were usually fairly lengthy so the CMS template was configured to show excerpts only on the first page with a link through to the full article.

Core Development

Donald needed a small business website without incurring too many costs. We setup his domain name, his hosting and installed wordpress as a CMS. The choice of a simple CMS was so that he or anyone he chose to ask to help him could maintain the web where ever they were. Typo3 would have been too complex for the relatively simple web requirements, and we needed to keep it simple so that it would be easy for Donald to maintain by himself.

Charlie Pahlman Memorial

Charlie had an extensive network of friends all over the world who wanted to come together and share in the celebration of his memory. The website is written in frontpage generated html and allows tributes to be entered and sorted. There is also an extensive photo gallery with contributions from all over.

Kwame Oduro Memorial

The family were in Ghana and so via email we assisted in setting up the domain name, hosting and a shell typo3 website with guest book and photo gallery features and appropriate style using the Kente cloth as the starting point. The family then maintained the web from Ghana.

Andrew Pahlman

Andrew needed a one page “business card” for his consulting business.
