Wiltshire Farm Foods
Wiltshire Farm Foods is a nationwide frozen food delivery company.
I was asked to perform a full security audit of the redeveloped WiltshireFarmFoods.co.uk website before it was launched to the public.
This required working closely with the development team, as well as Wiltshire Farm Foods staff to detect and fix any problems that were discovered.
A secondary objective also included testing the website using various operating systems and browsers, and pointing out any potential usability issues.
wpDripFeeder
wpDripFeeder is a desktop application to allow a user to quickly and easily populate a Wordpress blog with content.
The content can be queued up in such a way that it will be automatically posted to their blog over a number of weeks, months, or even years. This gives both search engines and visitors the impression of a naturally growing website.
The application interfaces with a PHP file, which is uploaded to the user's Wordpress installation. The PHP file uses Wordpress functions to queue up posts.
I sold this product myself, directly to Internet marketers.
Skills used: Wordpress, VB6, PHP
PLRSearch
PLRSearch is a desktop application to allow internet marketers to easily organise and sort though their Private Label articles.
In addition to searching through articles on the user's computer, it also connects to the PLRSearch server and offers them the opportunity to purchase articles on their given subject. A credit account balance is maintained and each article takes a set amount from this balance.
Once they have selected the articles they want to use, it offers them the option to export the articles to a number of internet marketing tools.
