SourceForge.net has recorded 2,500 downloads of SOS Webpages as of December 22. But it is being used by people all over the world. It currently operates in both English and Dutch. I am looking for translators for other languages.

SOS Webpages is the fun and easy way to manage a website. It is an open source website management system that I developed over the past few years. The goal of the project is to produce a system that is intuitive for users without any knowledge or desire to learn about coding, image resizing, code compliance, browser compatibility, etc.

SOS Webpages features a password-protected management area to manage all site content. An intuitive management system allows for quick and easy modification of text, images, banners, menu, etc. The computer novice will find it a user-friendly application, but that doesn’t mean it lacks important features, like . . .

I feel really great about helping the Arlington Alliance for Youth with their website.  I started it for them a couple of years ago, and it has grown as an integral part of their organizations fuction.  I just completed a lot of updates and additions.  Grants, contests, resources, a speaker’s bureau, news stories, and press releases are handled dynamically on the site.  Visit The Arlington Alliance for Youth.

The new AntiqueHeadVases.com launched today. I built this site five years ago, and that is a long time on the interent. Although the new site looks very similar to the old one, the code is a complete rewrite. It had been ASP using a Microsoft Access database. Now it is php with MySQL. Greater speed, less maintenance, lower hosting cost, and more features are the result. As new products are added they’ll feature watermarked images, automatic picture resizing and more. This site is the world’s premier dealer for antique lady head vases.
