Programming. The Web sites in this section represent the combined efforts of Rick Toews for programming and another source for graphic design.

MySimpleForex.

This site is designed to provide information about a business opportunity having to do with investing in the Forex market.  Prospects are given an overview of Forex trading and invited to consider the investment product offered by a separate company called FreedomRocks.  As an aid to building their business, prospects are invited to set up their own Web site within the mysimpleforex.com domain, for a monthly fee.

This site uses password-protected Administration and Member's Areas, which provide content management, member management, and billing capabilities.

I implemented the functionality of this site using PHP and MySQL.





GoMangosteen.

This site is designed to promote the beverage XanGo and to inform prospects of the associated business opportunity.  As a tool to aid in building the business, each member receives a customizable Web site that is a subdomain of gomangosteen.com.

The gomangosteen.com domain uses a DNS wildcard to allow subdomains based on site names found in the GoMangosteen member table.  It has a Member's Area and also an Administration Area, which are used for various aspects of site maintenance, including member management, site page management, and billing.

I coded this using PHP and MySQL.





HSAConnect. HSAConnect.com provides information for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and the Health Insurance plans associated with them. The site was originally designed using tables for positioning.  I recoded the site to use an external stylesheet for positioning and tables for the display of tabular data.





Programming and Graphic Design. Here are some examples of my work, both graphic design and coding.

Meadow Glade SDA Church. The old site for the Meadow Glade Seventh-day Adventist church was static HTML. When I took over as the Webmaster, I completely redesigned the graphics and recoded the site in PHP, with a MySQL database. I also added weekly content, such as worship service information, weekly announcements, and a weekly calendar. All of this information is updated through an administrative tool.





San Luis Obispo SDA Church. The client requested a design that was "a little edgy, clean, and useful" and wanted to be able to update content from the church office. This site was developed in PHP and MySQL and uses our administrative tool to allow the client to maintain content.





Creation Science Association of Ventura County. Volunteer project for the Creation Science Association of Ventura County; PHP, MySQL.





Camarillo Seventh-day Adventist Church. Coding and design. Languages: JavaScript, PHP.





Revelation, The Story of Redemption. Coding and design. Languages: JavaScript, PHP. The site draws its content from a MySQL database.





Channel Islands Mensa. Recreational site. Designed for Channel Islands Mensa, PHP, MySQL.





Archived. These are sites I worked on a number of years ago. I no longer link to them, either because they've been redesigned and so no longer are current representations of my work, or because they are no longer active.

AMCAL Housing. AMCAL has been developing quality housing in California since 1978. I converted this Web site from static HTML to a database-driven site, using PHP and MySQL. The site has a Web-based administrative tool that allows the update of various content: housing developments, testimonials, references, press releases, etc.





G. W. Little. Online product catalog for small dog lovers.

A primary purpose of G.W. Little's site is to showcase the products and allow customers to make purchases online. The site also permits visitors to join a "Pet Fashion Club," which, for an annual fee, offers savings on selected items within the catalog.

The site includes an administrative tool that allows G.W. Little to maintain their catalog, set up discount coupons, download customer lists, and perform other functions related to their Web site.

This is an e-commerce site that uses Verisign Payflow to perform real-time credit card transactions.

An administrative tool allows NKS Motorsports to perform catalog maintenance and to keep track of orders.
