The design is responsive, optimized for load time, and includes all the expected essential pages, such as event calendars and contact forms.

    A web application that allows a company to offer programs, and incentive packages at various price and participation levels to multiple smaller businesses with whom they support/partner. The application maintains data on each business, which is used to identify them during the login process. A multi-page, highly customizable wizard process steps businesses through making choices on the details for which they signup for, ending with the generation of a digital signature to accept the signup as an agreement of deliverables.

    The application was originally built with Django 1.5, Python 2.7 and MySQL; it has since been migrated to PostgreSQL.

    A web application to help large business-to-business based companies manage vertical-specific details of the business they serve.

It also supports multiple authentication back-ends and facilitating centralized authentication.

  • Utility Bill Payment Web Application

    A web application that enables utility customers to log in, view currently unpaid balances, and make payments towards that due balance using credit cards, debit cards, or checking accounts, with payment processing using the Authorize.Net SIM API. Payments are collected directly by the utility provider and nightly data dumps from back-office systems are automatically imported into the application to update daily balances.
