Portfolio
Below is a selection of just some of the website I am most proud of:
Feelgr8.co.uk | Article directory
Feelgr8 is an online article directory which allows authors to submit their articles online for website exposure.
The entire website is powered by PHP and driven by a MySQL database. Users are required to register before submitting any articles. Registration involves confirming the authors email address.
Because there are so many articles on the website there are numerous techniques in place to reduce the load on the Apache server. For example: The most popular and most recent articles are cached into the database and refreshed every hour.
Spruzz Store | E-commerce website
This website was originally developed to sell Gadgets under the company Spruzz Ltd. The site is powered by PHP and a MySQL database.
The entire product catalogue is updated from an XML feed from www.theSelect.co.uk
Customers can request to receive an email when a product that is out of stock comes back in stock again.
E-Bookz | E-commerce website with instant digital delivery
This website allows customers to purchase e-books online. The site is powered by PHP and a MySQL database.
Payments are processed via PayPal, and once approved, customers are able to download their purchases instantly. Downloads are limited to 3 per customer and the download link expires after 7 days. To test the download feature there is an e-Book available to buy for £0.01p
SimonBell.biz | Custom built blog
This blog is powered by PHP and a MySQL database. I wanted to design a simple CMS to power my blog. New posts can easily be added, edited and removed.
Purbeck Runners | Joomla CMS website
Purbeck Runners are a running club based in the Purbecks. They wanted a website which can easily be updated so I powered the website by Joomla! open source content management system.
Code Samples
I've uploaded two code samples of this blog. The first is the index.php page and the second is the template.php page. View them below:
