This website was built using our proprietary content management system to facilitate its long-term maintenance. One unique feature for this site is the ability to request a quote via a special web form that even allows for documents to be attached and uploaded with the request.


Western Maine Finishing

Western Maine Finishing finishes & restores log, clapboard & cedar shake homes. The objective behind their site was to create a low cost "Web brochure" that could be easily updated via a Web management tool including the ability to upload before and after photos of projects they have worked on. This site showcases programming methods we can use to reduce the cost of Web site development. To reduce programming time, we draw upon an ever-growing cache of core code components that can be used time and again on other sites we develop.

With this design concept, we can bring the down cost of designing a small professional Web site that could be easily maintained. This makes such sites more affordable for companies who in the past would have had to settle for a static site that would be rarely if ever updated because updates could only be done by a someone who knew HTML or had special software.

EnvironmentalChemistry.com

This is the oldest and most popular Web site produced by Kenneth L. Barbalace. Its mission is to be an educational site that makes the subject of chemistry a little less daunting to the average student. The goal was to make this site as classroom friendly as possible so that it can help students have a positive learning experience.

First going online as YOGI'S Behemoth in 1995, this site has been through many evolutions as Web design practices and technology have evolved. This site runs on an Apache/FreeBSD server using PHP and MySQL. It is designed to W3C's HTML 4.01 and CSS specifications and "Priority One" compliance of the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (WCAG 1.0).
