Client Web Sites
Here is a sampling of sites I have developed that have an interesting variety of features. For additional information about my services, or to discuss a project you would like to implement, please send me an e-mail at edp@edperrone.com. Astrological website providing forecasts, data, calculations, etc. Several features at the site ("Today's Lunar Aspects," "Current Planetary Positions," "Today's Transit Forecast," "Ephemeris Calculator") feature real-time astrological calculations. The site also features an online astrological bookstore with books from Amazon.com. Personal astrological reports, an astrological library, and additional real-time features are planned for development. Website for a major astrology conference sponsored by the International Society for Astrological Research (ISAR). The site features information on the conference, speakers, topics, accomodations, etc.; as well as a registration module that allows attendees to register and pay for the conference and related activities. Conference organizers have an administrative module through which they can track registrations, make adjustments, and so forth. A Flash presentation promotes the pre-conference party and concert. Website for a taxicab company in Bloomington-Normal, Illinois. The company's dispatchers use a private area of this site to enter and manage all of their calls and rides. The programming in this area keeps track of calls in the system, flashing notifications to dispatchers when calls have been waiting more than a certain amount of time, or when the time is nearing to pick up an advance reservation. In addition, there is an area of the site where customers can create an account to make and manage advance reservations online. United Astrology Conference 2008 Website for the world's largest conference of professional astrologers. The site includes information on the speakers and lecturers, the class and lecture schedules, hotel accomodations, and more. In addition, an online registration module allows attendees to register for the conference and a wide variety of associated activities (pre- and post-conference workshops, entertainment, etc.). An e-commerce site which sells women's personal, home, and fashion accessories. The site allows customers to browse, search, and purchase items; and there is an administrative "back-end" area which allows the site's managers to manage their online inventory. This site utilizes a third-party Java-based shopping cart to handle the actual purchases and credit-card billing for the customers. I created custom programming to integrate the site management features with the shopping cart, as well as modifying and customizing some of the shopping cart code. New at this site: In 2007, we undertook a major upgrade at this website to incorporate a multimedia center and a live videochat facility. (You must join the site as a free member in order to access the videochat area.) These audiovisual features are based on Flash technology, which allows them to be utilized by virtually all web browsers and computer platforms. I have worked on this site on an ongoing basis as Technical Director since late 1997, and did a major (seven-month) overhaul and reprogramming of the site's functionality in September, 2002. The new site automates numerous features that administrators and visitors previously had to do "by hand." This includes an extensive administrative back-end, through which the site's managers can update class schedules, manage the member/student database (including class registrations), manage staff and faculty access and administrative privileges, and more, all through a simple point-and-click Web browser interface. In addition, a highly integrated shopping cart with additional online payment options was added to the site. This shopping cart allows visitors to purchase a wide variety of diverse items, including books/software to be shipped to them, e-books to be downloaded, and class registrations (i.e., purchasing access to the private student areas) all in the same order with a minimum of fuss. Student/member/faculty areas are all highly personalized, displaying only the information and links relevant to that person (for example, libraries for courses a student is registered for, but not other libraries; or various functions depending upon a staff person's level of authority). The site also has an affiliate program, with automated crediting of affiliate commissions on each sale, and easy, online payment to affiliates via the administrative back-end. This is a really, really nice site (if I do say so myself) which, in actuality, incorporates virtually every feature I have ever developed for a Web site into a single, highly ambitious yet highly integrated online business. Ed Perrone Music is the site to display and promote my music. You can listen to music clips and entire songs, as well as see information on my other musical activities. Real-time online ticketing system to allow Web users to purchase tickets to a variety of events in the Texarkana, Texas, area. The site allows customers to view schedules of upcoming events at participating venues, to see detailed seating charts of the venues, to select the specific seats they would like, and to purchase their tickets online. The seating charts are updated after each transaction, so that customers can always see exactly which seats are available. In addition to the public portion of the site, there are extensive administrative capabilities. The site's managers can add and custom-configure new venues (including logos, specific color schemes, types of credit cards accepted, etc.). The venues themselves can add events to their schedules and view up-to-the-minute reports of sales activities. Note: Apparently this site is no longer in operation. But it was a darned nice site while it was.... This site was originally a Windows Help file (.hlp). I was retained by the publisher, Cosmic Patterns, to convert the help file into a Web site. The site itself is an online self-learning system consisting of 27 lessons with numerous illustrations, automatically graded quizzes, and other interactive material. You can sample two of the lessons and the background material for free. The remaining lessons are restricted to paid customers. The site is actually a "mini-site" within the Online College of Astrology site, described above.
