I have developed my own social bookmarking, photographs and wiki site which is fully AJAX enabled with RSS feeds- called boogla.com

Includes a bookmarklet that allows you to add pages straight to the site without any delay, and fills in the details.

The Wiki section allows you to create any number of pages under your own username eg. /username/mypage and allows you to edit the page very quickly..
 in fact - so quickly your changes are updated live and if someone else has your page open anywhere in the world on a browser, you can see what they are typing as they are typing it!

Pictures has a zoom function that allows you to fit however many pictures to a screen that you require. uploading pictures is easy, just hit the upload button, select an image, and it uploads it, resizes it to a thumbnail image and a larger image, which is shown when you click the image. You can also go through each image in a slideshow fashion one-by-one.

Bespoke Development : PharmacyTenders.com

Background:

Pharmacytenders is a marketplace custom-coded in coldfusion using the fusebox methodology. It allows buyers to upload a list of products that they require, and suppliers upload a list of pricing that they can provide to that customer. Purchase orders are created within the system and are printable.

We have provided development support and extended beyond what our customer expected with their current coldfusion codebase.  We also converted their SQL Server database to MySQL with a 500% performance increase.
We have also created a variant of the software for wholesalers to sell stock between themselves, where they can both become a buyer or a supplier - the original software was not designed for that but we managed to provide a working solution. Please note that the software had started development in the year 2000 by a number of different developers so we have experience in managing old codebases and providing solutions, enhancements and extensions to existing software.
