PHP Developer for a sailboat condominium website

Project Overview

I was hired to maintain a website for a sailboat condominium, called the Dockominium, in Michigan at Toledo Beach. The site was suffering from a lack of maintenance and was in need of a refresh. The site needed to be a simple, clean, and easy to maintain website. The site needed to be able to handle a moderate amount of traffic, and be able to handle the upload of documents and images.

Technical Challenges

At the time I took over, it was hosted on an account that was not being maintained. I had to migrate the site to a new hosting account and rebuilt the PHP as an MVC form with a simple member login and access to documents and slip rentals. The original DNS and email were causing a lot of headaches, so I setup a new DNS and email account with the new provider. Email is included so setup was a breeze. On the previous host, they had to pay for the email. Now it is easy to add the officers with their own accounts.

Testimonial

“Greg has been a great partner in helping us transition to his services after losing our previous friend and developer. We’re looking forward to working with him again as he continues to add new features and improve the site.”
