The Digital Portfolio of Kris Perry
Freelance Web Development
My name is Kris Perry. I am a web developer (PHP, MySQL, Javascript, AJAX, CSS) specializing in developing a web presence for small-business, tourism/property services, and blog/content management systems (WordPress, Joomla!). I am currently available for consultation, planning, development, hosting, site & search engine optimization, and am welcoming new projects.
I enjoy working together with my clients to strategically place their businesses online. I offer professional quality services that are sensitive to the needs of my clients, designed to be self-maintaining via integrated content management, and are standards-compliant for full compatibility with all browsers and systems. I am available for freelance and contract work.
1. Web Design & User Interface
My design emphasis is on providing appealing, yet functional, solutions that cater to the client's needs. I strive on all my websites to achieve: a reflection of the organization's brand image; easy to use and updateable content; optimized data for fast loading; cross-browser continuity; and compliance with the latest, most stringent web standards.
Related services: style sheet design(css), template construction & slicing, advertising, consulting.
2. Web Development, Content Management, & Information Architecture
With my websites I offer more than just static HTML pages. I deliver engaging database driven masterpieces ;-) I create these masterpieces using the programming language of PHP, as well as a myriad of software and tools. I also am familiar with third-party content management systems(cms) such as Joomla! or WordPress if your into that kinda thing. They can really streamline the development process - and give the user full control over making their own updates.
Related services: site maintenance, development/coding & testing, search engine optimization, eCommerce, server-side file generation/processing, troubleshooting, consulting.
3. Advanced Features
Adding mailing lists, contact forms, event registration, eCommerce applications and more to your website can vastly improve the functionality. As well, adding security measures such as password encryption and CAPTCHA boxes can increase your website's security from hackers and bots. I offer all these services and more, along with the ability to create and implement new features based on the client's ideas and goals.
4. Basic Flash Development
Adobe (formerly Macromedia) flash truly has been a powerful force to hit the internet. With it came the ability to create... just about anything. Media-rich interactive applications and games can be a great way to visually engage your audience and bypass arbitrary web-standard layouts and processes. I do offer flash services but would like to emphasize that I prefer to keep flash elements to a minimum.
5. Graphic Design (Branding, Logo and Stationary)
The essence of good branding is consistency. All public communications-whether a website, email, brochure, or property listing-should be designed to reinforce and support your central brand. In terms of establishing your organization's identity, it all begins with a logo. Logos serve as an important tool for branding your company, expressing its central vision, and making your business unique.
That being said, nothing makes a business appear more credible and stable than high quality, professionally designed stationery. I can design letterheads, envelopes, brochures, and business cards in compliance with your organization's unique brand and logo to reinforce your identity, convey your messages, and compel your audience to action.
6. Third-Party Services
Third-party services can offer a plethora of functionality, security, and richness to your website - without the taxing process of development. Some of the third-party services I offer to administer are (but not limited to): secure online credit-card payments, traffic analytics, domain name registration & transfers, domain email services, web hosting, control panel administration, in-site search engines, and advertising.
7. Site Repairs and Maintenance
If you already have a website that just needs some fixing, updating, or Y3K proofing I can certainly be of assistance.
I am located in Vancouver, Canada. Feel free to contact me for any inquiries.
Please remember to include any additional contact information in the body of your message. Thanks.

Developed in PHP/MySQL, this website for an Alberta based company that manufactures oil and gas-related products, serves as an online catalogue for information on a myriad of products and services offered by four different sibling companies.
Within the website are many custom features. Most notably is a algorithm which rates product/service relevance, and in turn, displays “related links” which the user may be interested in – based on the user’s selections when navigating the site.

Developed in PHP/MySQL, this website serves as an online catalogue for an antique auto dealer. Through a simple user-friendly administration section, the administrator of this site can personally update their own website, adding vehicle photos, descriptions and prices etc.
Also included are many custom features, such as a “browse inventory” feature. With this the user can quickly sort through the entire inventory of vehicles prioritizing by characteristics such as make, model, or price. The website generates it’s own revenue through google ads.

Developed in PHP/MySQL, this web application is used to keep track of employee work-hours, as well as billable hours to clients.
The way is works is at the end of every work day, employees login and enter their project, task, hours and brief work descriptions for all material they’ve worked on for that day. The employers can then in turn administer functions with this data such as generating employee timesheet reports or project progress/summary reports. Reports are processed on the web server and saved in pdf format. The pdf can then in turn be printed or saved to disk for delivery to the client.
