Content Management
In 2010, Tyler designed and created a custom content management system for the Waldorf School of Cape Cod. Using this system, they are able to easily manage their webpages (add/edit/delete) and their navigation using a simple javascript WYSIWYG editor (credit: CK Editor). They can also use this system add/remove adminstrators and to upload and link pdfs/doc files for the parents of students to download. This web application was developed from scratch using PHP and MySQL.
College Classifieds
In February of 2011, a website was designed and developed to enable college students to post items to sell. Only students with a valid student email address were able to post and see other items being sold at their school. Profiles were created and students were able to know who was posting items and have friends on the site. The site was custom developed in PHP and MySQL. It was taken down in December of 2011 due to a lack of funding.
