My
most recent site is the one for my other business www.filmfix.com
(also www.filmfix.ch
– in Switzerland.) This site is an application
(program) which includes, reseller accounts,
online accounting and invoicing capabilities,
and order tracking with customer email automation.
It also has the capability for customers to make their
own online film transfer order estimates. It
tracks number of visitors and captures the search words
visitors use to find us.
Other sites that you see
under PowerYourPoint.com
(my web design home page)
are somewhat old since I've been mostly spending time
on my film transfer business.
However, I do maintain
a few of them on a regular basis. I have some long-term,
regular customers - one is RadioLinksHollywood.com.
I have been doing business
as PowerYourPoint.com
and providing web services since 1998
I produced,
designed, and programmed all the material contained
within my PowerYourPoint.com site. Functions include:
shopping cart, search, login and
account management functions, and more.
At one point, I specialized
in the redesign of corporate websites - adding streaming
content (video, mp3 and flash), design and implementation
of database driven web applications to various web sites.
