A client recently had a third party vendor upgrade a portion of their website with a custom database. As a result, many of the site's URLs were changed.

Prepared a client memo explaining the pageview and visitor differences between their Google Analytics and WebTrends statistics.
Served as the technical advisor during a usability session with real world users for a new online data collection system.
Launched a new Federal website: www.findyouthinfo.gov. I was responsible for many components including requirements gathering, information architecture, design oversight, and co-development. UPDATE: View the Case Study
Built an Email-A-Friend function into a client’s site to help support their online advocacy efforts. Users can specify multiple recipients and customize their message. Email is handled by PEAR::mail using my CMS’ mail processor. SPAM is protected against with re-CAPTCHA.
Provided a solution for an Adobe Contribute security issue that supposedly neither the client’s IT department nor Adobe could figure out. (BTW, if you can avoid it, don’t use Adobe Contribute. There are better options out there…)
Finished design and coding implementation for a site that I originally developed in 2007. The site is for a project of a large U.S. foundation. Sample and reference available upon request. The site is built on my custom content management system.
