Welcome!

I am passionate about revolutionizing the face of your small business -- making your website user friendly, yielding greater sales.

What I've Done:

I want to point out first that I am what I am and have accomplished these projects only by the grace of God. I am so grateful for the salvation that He has given me. Whatever work I do, this is my foundation: "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;"" (Colossians 3:23).

Here is a tour of some of the projects that I have had the opportunity to be a part of. As you will see, small business is my passion - I love to see your business succeed.

Gracious May/Snugars/Bushka

This was a very enjoyable project! Gracious May was previously hosted on Adobe Catalyst. While that system served their needs, they felt it was time to move to a new, more customizable setup - and they chose SwiftOtter Studios. We had the pleasure of working through the creative process, developing a new look and feel that promoted their brand identity, and make an attractive ecommerce solution for their customers.

Titus2.com

Titus2.com is a ministry for encouraging families in Jesus Christ. I had the blessing of being able to migrate them from their own in-house shopping cart to Magento. Their existing cart was not built for maintainability, and they were pushing the boundaries. Magento is fairly rock-solid, easy to use and very maintainable.

ITonRamp.com

ITonRamp is a mentor-guided distance learning program. I am a teacher there for HTML/CSS. I designed and implemented their website with a custom ASP.NET basic shopping cart and learning system.

Sweet Relationships

For Titus2.com, I have also been able to design some book covers. Even though book cover design is very different than website design, there are many similar concepts. This cover involved photography and design (similar to a previous book, Sweet Journey).

About Me

My name is Joseph Maxwell. I am a Christian - saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, from an eternity in hell (John 3:36). That is my greatest passion in life. Very close to second to that in rank is seeing small businesses be successful. I believe that this type of business is the core of America, and thus greatly delight in optimizing their processes as much as possible.

Past that, I see problems as opportunities. If your business is weak in an area, to me that means that I have an opportunity to help you strengthen it. I greatly enjoy solving business problems with software.

My Background

I started programming around year 2000 with Borland Delphi (long since obsolete). I have been involved in HTML/CSS since approximately 2003, and in PHP since 2005.

As I have time, I am active on StackOverflow - an incredible Q&A community focused on programming problems. Feel free to take a look at my answers.
