Latest Project

Featured Project: Jacksonville Camera Club

The Jacksonville Camera Club's original website was outdated and lacked several key features, so the club hired me to build a new database-driven website from the ground up. This was a large project that required many custom-coded features including an online digital contest system and a club member point balance tracking system.

The new site is powered by WordPress and uses the 2011 theme as the foundation of the visual layout. I modified this theme significantly with custom designed images, JQuery, CSS, and HTML to create the club's desired look.

The back-end functionality was developed using PHP programming with a MySQL database. This entailed writing software to warehouse and manage club data such as meeting minutes, newsletters, digital contests, member galleries, member point balances, and more. The site also includes a large administrative section with multiple user roles and permissions.

"Sarah has been my rock throughout our time working together. Her prompt response to each of my emails is impressive. She either has the answer and fix right away or lets me know she will find the answer and does so with the time limit she sets. I love Sarah's way of explaining each detail so I can understand. The tutorials she has made for each step of building our site and the tutorials the members need for each page of the site has been so much help and totally outstanding".
