NJPWext

NJPWext was the most-used browser extension for the streaming service of the largest professional wrestling company in Japan. It added many features to improve the usability of njpwworld.com, as well as a chat room and synchronized VOD features. For 5 years, thousands of users enjoyed an enhanced experience until the company was able to incorporate many of the same features into the core product.

Die But Once

Die But Once sold high-end custom action figures, mostly in the professional wrestling genre. I created a theme with a responsive layout that looked great on the widest variety of browsers/devices. It allowed the strong calls to action and product photos to take center stage.

A password-protected content management interface makes it easy for the CFC staff to make inventory updates faster and easier than ever before. All menus and product categories are also customizable.

Clingen Quest Restoration has served numerous clients in the Northeast including furniture dealers, private antique collectors, and museums, restoring fine antiques to their original beauty while conserving the integrity of the pieces.

Spirited Crafts

When it was active, Spirited Crafts featured beautiful, handbound journals. The site owner was able to maintain his entire site easily and quickly via a custom administration CMS created for him.

The flexible/customizable shopping cart used in this site was written in Perl from scratch.

Chad Collyer

Chad Collyer was, at one time, one of the most successful independent professional wrestlers. He has wrestled the world over and is frequently employed by the biggest promotions in the United States and Japan.

His official website was another example of a site created to be easily maintained by someone with no programming knowledge whatsoever. As such, Chad was able to update his site with the latest news, even when on the road. He retired and took the site offline in 2014.
