East of Chicago Pizza Company — Extranet Link not available
Operation:	Continuous since 07/01
The East of Chicago Pizza Company's Extranet was developed as a portal for the owners, corporate personnel, district managers, franchises, and store managers. The Extranet served as a online resource for news, comparative sales and marketing analysis, supply ordering, and store history tracking. My involvement on the project was as a layout manager. Design and layout of the overall look and feel for the entire site was first developed, demonstrated, and then marked for production by myself. Production was handled by the chief programmer on the project who converted the static design layout into a dynamic database-driven template from which East of Chicago personnel could continuously and autonomously maintain their own site.

Alpaca Trading Company http://www.alpacatrading.com
Operation:	Continuous since 10/00
The Alpaca Trading Company web site was developed as a framework-template allowing this company to take over and continue management on their own. A background and color scheme was chosen that would accent the photographic images of this company's products, namely alpaca and alpaca husbandry. I highly emphasis was placed on search engine friendliness with a scalable design that would allow easy maintenance after the initial development was completed.
