In 2001, I began developing small database driven web applications for web designers and the general public, providing Linux / cPanel web hosting, and working extensively with PHP scripting and MySQL™ database. Related skills include HTML, CSS, basic Javascript and AJAX, web graphics, search engine optimization, and installation and configuration of popular Open Source applications.

Development included the custom web content management system (CMS) used for this site and also for numerous client websites where various custom forms were developed to process user input, insert data into a MySQL™ database, and optionally e-mail the data to the appropriate people. Website creation includes ETNews.org with 500+ pages of content, Rattlesnake Fire Rescue, NAAA.ORG, LERC.ORG, brokenfax.com, coloradoalarm.net, fgsimmons.com.

After co-authoring phpMyEdit documentation several years ago, I created a PHP Form Generator for web developers and successfully marketed the project to 130+ developers in 20 different countries. Co-moderator for the phpMyEdit Forum. Related projects include the Alternate PHP Form Generator Project and an archaeological database for University College London.

People who are interested in learning how this PHP CMS works can request access to the administrative area of a demo web site set up at TheirDreams.com.

On a regular basis, I provide web hosting services and PHP programming to Cymax Media LLC, who utilizes this web content management system for the following Cymax Media clients:

Cymax Media has completed hundreds of website projects and specializes in web design, graphic design, business logos, print graphics, print graphics, and related media.

Web Content Management System

The number of web pages that can be implemented using my CMS is almost unlimited. For example, http://www.etnews.org/ is approaching 600 pages of content. Literally thousands of pages could be published, grouped by category and/or sub-category (subject to the aesthetics of navigation links appearing at the side of the page). Side navigation links are generated on-the-fly based on active content found in the currently selected topic or category. New web pages are automatically added to navigation links. Each web page in the CMS database has numberous properties. Pages can be flagged as Hidden while content is under development. Pages can be optionally configured to draw their content from separate programming scripts which access data residing in various database tables, for example displaying reports or displaying a searchable list of products.

This CMS includes user registration and login features. New registrants must complete a registration form which generates an email message to the registrant. The registration message contains an assigned password and a link which the registrant must click in order to activate their registration. This is done in order to ensure a valid email address entered on the registration. After a new user activates their profile, they can log in using the assigned password. Users can change the assigned password after logging in for the first time. Users who forget their user name or password can use built-in forms to retrieve their information via email. Lost passwords can be reset, but not recovered.

Dozens of additional features are configurable within my CMS, which is currently deployed on almost 100 websites.

Testimonials from a few of Doug's clients

I needed a website done quickly for my daycare center and found that Doug was able to get the job done quickly and at a reasonable price! My site turned up Google at the 5th position just one week after going live. Thanks!

I have been working with Doug for over 4 years. We started out with a simple site with basic information for classes. Now we have expanded to include online book sales, On-Line classes, Information libraries and more. Doug has worked overtime building and rebuilding the site to keep up with our ever changing needs. He not only has kept everything running but does it more economically than others.

Sincerely,

Recently I posted an ad for some help on our Fire Department website and Doug Hockinson replied. Now we are a small volunteer department but like any other Fire Department we take our jobs very seriously.

Doug and his team exceeded my expectations in every way. His response time was excellent, his flexibility and willingness to explore every option for our site was comforting, and his final deliverable was nothing short of incredible.

When Doug asked me for a testimonial my only answer was "How could I not!!!" I can say without hesitation that Doug and his team were responsive, and went above and beyond any expectations that our department had. Since the inception of our site we have had nothing but positive feedback from surrounding departments and honestly from across the US.

As I mentioned before we are a small volunteer department with a VERY large heart. Doug and his team could not have approached our project any more professionally. Without hesitation I would recommend Doug and his team for any project.

As a volunteer fire fighter / EMT I understand the criticality of life and death situations, as a VP of Information Technology and Chief Information Security Officer I know how hard it is to find quality individuals. With this knowledge I would hire Doug for any project without concern.

Sincerely,

Vincent Grimard

I have used Doug's services for over 6 years and I would recommend his company to anyone who wants results from their website. Its one thing to have a website it is another to have it show up on a search engine. Mine consistently shows up on the first few listing without paying extra for clicks. His company's services are reasonably priced, and is easy to work with. They talk English instead of computer, for those of us who don't speak computer.

I asked Doug to build my website to allow me to simply add content on a regular basis. The result was even better than I had imagined. I've been able to easily add hundreds of pages of content. Occasionally I run into trouble but Doug has always been very responsive to my questions.

I've referred several people to Doug for web site services over the past several years. Each of the referrals resulted in a new web site and each of the people I referred were exceedingly satisfied with the look of the site and the ease by which are able add content with a modicum of web site skills.

Website Hosting With cPanel, PHP, MySQL - Denver Webmaster

You can open a web hosting account with one of the huge national web hosting companies and they will likely provide you with a website control panel that is full of flashing advertisements and unnecessary Account Upgrade Offers. Their CEO will cheerfully spend your $100+ per year on having his/her luxury car detailed.

Alternatively, you can spend your hosting budget with me, and I'll use the money to buy groceries. Unlike the CEO of a corporate web host, I will actually care about you, the success of your business, and the success of your website, while providing comparable high quality Linux-based website hosting, email service, cPanel, PHP, MySQL, etc.
