I took this project on for my friend to create a dynamic website that could be easily managed by someone who knew nothing about web developing. It featured custom pages(Like WordPress), Listings of homes for sale with ability to “feature” certain ones, an admin panel, image uploading, and many other features. It was, however very nice looking and cool, still flawed in that it was a pure PHP project which I did with the intentions of “Just getting done.” So although you can read the code for the website it’s not very clean or easy to maintain. It is my best PHP website before I began to use CakePHP
Although I never met the person who wanted this website, the friend I mentioned did all the business for me and I did the work, it turned out he never did anything with the website. Looking at the website today it appears that the owner has done nothing with the website. I have never been able to talk to him but either he felt it was too hard or did not care that much to take care of the website. The pages on the website were created by my friend and then we were paid. Afterwards checking back on this website it appears to be a dud which is kind of disappointing to me. I think there were several areas where the website was a not user-friendly. Thankfully CakePHP, which if you can’t tell I love greatly, has solved many of those issues I used to have. But this website was not all that flawed and I don’t understand why the owner doesn’t use it more. Checking back on the website I have noticed that it is still fully functional, fast, and easy to use. Even the old issue of FckEditor loading slowly was not much of an issue on a strained connection which I’m writing this from.
One of my proudest achievements, this was my first real business projects that I completed.
