1/97-4/99

a database driven Internet advertising site using Visual Interdev. This site is free to the consumer to access and generates revenue by selling advertising space to attorneys or related lawfirms. The web pages that are displayed are 'built' using my software and the data entries of the paying customers.
- Developed
own software with on-line purchasing of services, accepting credit card information and internal sales support software for manual running of credit card debiting. This system uses SSL .
- Generated
Dynamic HTML from FoxPro database through CGI (using SQL). The information about each listing is contained in the database including information about where the listing should appear, for how long it should appear, contact information, etc. This reduces the overhead involved with maintaining the website and greatly reduces the frequency of changing the programs that drive it.

an online purchasing application. This application uses the Verisign Digital Certificate for the AttorneyFind website and allows for secure transmission of confidential credit card information. The signup application allows the customer to enter their listing information, select the areas they want to advertise and preview all the information in the exact form as it would appear when it is displayed online in front of the consumer. After the client confirms the listing(s) they are considering purchasing, they are able to securely enter their credit card information and approve their order. After they submit their order with payment information, our sales representatives are able to (using my software) transfer the order directly into the database and the client goes 'online'.
