Job title: Complete custom site with content management and shopping cart.
I was given the task of completely rewriting the web site
http://www.TheEarthCenter.com
. This site is custom designed to provide content, information and marketing for the Non Profit The Earth Center of Maanu, Inc. The site is written completely in PHP4 and also uses a MySQL back end. it also integrates with the OsCommerce shopping cart.
I created many of the graphics for the site using Adobe and Microsoft graphic tools and I continue to maintain the site including the maintenance and creation of custom forms and a customized skin for the OsCommerce shopping cart.
I recently made a mod to the OsCommerce shopping cart to allow for products that have no shipping requirements, like charitable contributions. The site uses flat rate shipping, so contributions were being chaged shipping. I executed a mod that would not charge shipping for any products that had zero weight and then made sure that all actual shippable products had a non-zero weight.
