I am an independent creator of web sites and interactive elements.
My most recent project, Young Chefs Academy needed a logo and web presence to promote their nation wide cooking school - now the fastest growing childrens franchise in the U.S. as featured in Entreprenuer Magazine, Business Week, & New York Times. The public website gets over 12 Million hits a year and features promotions with Disney/Pixar, FoodTV, NWA, plus a store Locator, dynamic franchise location pages, a "Kids Corner" and more.
Intranet - Seeing the need for an interactive business system for both franchisor and franchisee, I created one of the only end-to-end web-based business solutions in the franchise industry. Deployed to hundreds of franchises globally, this secure site features SSL/PCI compliance, Payment Data Storage, Recurrent Member Billing, Secure Login, CRM, CMS, Ad Builder, Newsletter Creator, Scheduling/Class Manager, Sales Reports, Integration with QuickBooks, Supplier Online Store, Marketing Reports (financial and page hits), Recipe and Lesson Plan Downloads, Corporate News and more.
Technology Used - Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash, CSS, QuickTime, XHTML, PHP, MySQL, XML
In order to maximize the small team of tech support engineers, I created an iPhone interface which enabled our various team members to respond to support tickets, manage franchisees and billing issues as well as check on the web stats for the YCA system. This was very handy when working remotely as well as for illustrating the success of the many ad campaigns that were running throughout the year.
