The design and implementation of the 2008 conference site for the Missouri Master Gardeners led me to be contracted to produce the conference site for 2009. Hosted in Jefferson City, the conference includes a number of guided tours and lectures. The site is detailed in its representations of these events, utilizing a number of dynamic and interactive features to display photos, bios, etc.

The site also includes a dynamic registration form with a link to PayPal for credit card payment and an administrative "backend" for the registration committee to access Registrant information and download it into MS Excel as CSV spreadsheet files,

Photographers David Hughes and Shelby Hollyman of the Branson, MO area needed a website to both promote their new business and show-off their work. This site was built using the Joomla CMS.

The Harley Worthit website is a means for the Branson Comedian to connect with his audience and give them something to use to stay connected with him on a personal level (by means of a contact form and mailing list) and also a place to go for content, such as videos, audio snippets and merchandise. There are also links to promotional material and photos, all available for download to further promote his act.

The site was designed and developed over a three month period in early 2007. All graphics, video editing, text (with the exception of his biography) and layout was created at RJ Jacob Design.

Currently under development is a brand new site for the Branson, MO "World's Largest Performing Family", Hughes Brothers Show.

The site was launched in April of 2011 and while it is still under development, it is considered about 90 per cent complete.

The state director of the Master Gardener Program for Kansas provided me with a "grocery list" of features and items he wanted for his on-line reports database application.

The features include the ability for a county-level program coordinator to create a unique county profile for their EMG members consisting of annual hour requirements and custom sets of volunteer and training opportunity categories. Features also include the ability to keep track of prospects for the program and print mailing labels both for entire member lists and specifically for those without email addresses. And of course, th ability to run a variety of reports and export to the Excel Spreadsheet file format (.csv) is standard..

Also included are Tutorial Videos showing how to use the site to Master Gardeners (such as how to enroll, submit Volunteer Hours Reports and Export cumulative reports to .csv files) and to County Level Coordinators (creating a county profile, run reports and print mailing labels.)

Here a county-level coordinator of the Master Gardener program in Kansas can view and verify hours records of the volunteers in their areas.

The website was built with a Public View primarily for information dissemination (program specifics, projects, PR releases and so forth) and a Members Only View to provide access to documents pertaining to member committees, by-laws, volunteer opportunities, etc. The site also provides for member contribution of articles, photos, news and blog posts.

The client needed a way to put a complex order form with over 150 items on the website without the need to "add to cart" each one, refresh the shopping cart and add the next, etc. We developed an order form with all items and the ability to add as many as necessary of each item, as many items as necessary and then click one button which added them all to the cart and sent the buyer to PayPal to check out.
