I am currently available to create, enhance or repair your dynamic website.

I love the Internet. The tools and information available - largely for free - are constantly amazing to me. I am fascinated by how it all works, and how very creative people from all over the world continue to push the envelope. I also love drupal. The community is vibrant and the system is extremely flexible, handling most - if not all - of the repetitive "plumbing" tasks needed to set up a new website (user registration, permissions, content types, comments, etc). The drupal developers and users truly embody the spirit of open source, and it is a pleasure to be involved with. I had a fantastic time at DrupalCon in San Francisco this year!

Drupal is written in PHP, which I am very familiar with. I have been using PHP since version 3 was released around the beginning of 2000. I am also very familiar with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. With these development skills, customizing drupal installations is something I am very comfortable with, and enjoy doing.

I have also done extensive programming in Perl to create unique, dynamic websites for business-to-business incentive programs, including catalogs and e-commerce functionality. Other technologies involved include: Linux, Apache, MySQL, XML, mod_perl, DBI, Template Toolkit, HTML Template, and AJAX.

* I am not a designer and do not try to pass myself off as one. I try to find themes that are close to what I want, and then modify them where needed (this helps me keep costs to a minimum). I do have relationships with professional designers if you need something more sophisticated.
