I offer PHP-based website design, customized to your application. Every site is unique, but they all have a couple things in common:
- You have the ability to login to your site and make changes yourself; no need to rely on someone else (and pay them money) evertime you need to update your site information.
- It expandable. You can add or delete pages at no extra charge. You can add pictures, change the display format of pages, change all page content, add or delete members, create members-only pages, and much more... yourself. At any time.
- It's affordable. You only pay one time up front for the site design and the first year's hosting and domain name costs. Right now, I charge a flat $200 for a basic site installed. Then once a year, you will receive a PayPal invoice for $30 to maintain the webhosting service and domain name. If you require a bulletin board, e-commerce ability, or other custom features, ask me what it will take to make that happen for you.
- It rocks. Your site will be custom-tailored to do what you need it to do. If I haven't built something before that you need, I will figure out how to do it and get it done. I maintain communication with you through the build and make sure that the finished product is everything you expect.
Here are a few examples of sites I have made in the past:
www.caspertaxidermy.com
This is my father-in-law's taxidermy website, and is the closest relation to my own site. As with all my sites done in the last couple years, it uses PEAR:DB classes to maintain the highest versatility with different database types, and allows users to register for free, admins to edit page contents and images, and add or delete pages from the site without having to get me, the webmaster, involved for almost any changes and updates. New to this website (and built in parallel with my personal site) is a function to resample images that are too large for display on the website, and the creation of thumbnails for gallery-type pages. The thumbnail is displayed for quick loading, then you pull up the full-size 800x600 pixel image that was resampled. This site also is the first one to have a "forgot my password" function that emails the user a link to reset the password. No more problems with users unable to get back into their accounts if they forget!

Pastor Jon Van Vogt requested that I rebuild the website that I had made for him about 5 years ago. The original site was one of my first database-driven websites, so much of the coding was still very basic and would only work with a MySQL database. The new website maintains most of the look and feel of the original site, but allows Jon to add/delete pages at will.
www.gowestranch.com
My sister's ranching and farming website was one of the first sites I made with a contact form that used the mail() function built into PHP to allow site users to contact her without giving away her email address. If she chooses to reply, then you know! As with all new sites, she can add or delete pages, add or delete content form each page, and upload images without having to contact me. It was also the very first to allow the admin user to add or delte pages from the navbar, not just edit existing pages' data.

While I was still figuring out the best way to create easily-expandable, database-driven websites (instead of static, hard-to-edit HTML), I made a small website for an online gaming squad I was affiliated with, [MOB!]. themobsquad.net was mostly just a very good-looking advertisment for the squad. There was more planned for it, like getting the members in better touch with a bulletin board and message center, but there wasn't enough demand to keep the site active. It's still a great layout, in my opinion!
sauve.gotdns.com/projects/sykes
This site is unique because although it has a user login and dynamic content capability, it does not use any form of SQL database. It uses a flat text database parsed by pseudo-SQL PHP functions. If you have your own webhosting but no access to a SQL server, this php-db-api -powered site might be a good place to start. I had to make it this way because I wanted the power that a database gives the site admin, but wasn't allowed to install a SQL server on the workstation I was using at the time to host the webserver. This site was used to maintain a database of employees at a technical call center, and create and deploy training modules and tests to them.
sauve.gotdns.com/projects/MaliciousIntent
This site for a heavy metal band utilized user-supplied Flash graphics, an intro page, a music player for some of their songs which could be controlled by each client with the use of cookies, and a phpBB forum.
sauve.gotdns.com/projects/RockstarCDs
This site was made for a Pittsburgh company that sold music recording supplies and wanted to make websites for musicians. They supplied me with a JPG of how they wanted the site to look, I made it happen for them, and they were impressed enough they hired me on as a contractor to get their web design team off the ground.
sauve.gotdns.com/projects/CreativeInsite
Creative Insite was a UK-based web design firm that wanted help getting off the ground, so I took a plain HTML home page that they had so far, made it into a PHP/MySQL site to drive business, and stayed on as a contract programmer for the Rockstar CDs and Malicious Underground websites.
sauve.gotdns.com/projects/GastonGlock
This used to be my personal site, although it didn't really say a lot about me. It did have a lot of my interests at the time. This site was still static HTML, programmed one page at a time, slowly and painstakingly. This was the first site that I altered to draw information from a database, and it was a very good learning experience. I have learned much more about the best way to organize data since this. I kept this site up for a few years, but decided I needed a better site with a clear purpose. Hence, the site you are at now!
sauve.gotdns.com/projects/EliteWarriorsofCombat
This was my first website ever, many long years ago. I taught myself HTML and Javascript building this site with a friend, and since we played the same online shooter game together, we made a squad website together. Geeky, yes, but it gave me a goal: learn to build websites, and I accomplished that goal.
