Web Development With You

I don't strive to simply work for you. I want to work with you. I want your input every step of the way. I want to help you calculate your specific needs and goals. I want to work closely with you to reach them. You will not be giving me your requirements, and then crossing your fingers for weeks while I deliver my interpretation of those requirements. No, you will be with me for each of those steps. I believe communication is as much a part of getting the job done as writing code. I am Miles Z. Sterrett, and I want to partner with you to build your idea.

Projects

holscher products, inc

Holscher was in need of a new website, as well as new website managers. Requiring a catalog that could handle the demands of their customers, Holscher's site was no small project. They received a catalog module to add on to the already powerful functionality of HydraCMS, customized to their exacting needs. They love it.

red panda press

Red Panda Press was just getting started. They needed a quality web front for their printing business, including a full-featured Request For Quote form, customer management, and file management. Dave Strus and myself got to work building a custom site powered by Ruby on Rails, custom-fitted to Red Panda's business.

chacha underground

The site that ChaCha's thousands of guides use to view their activity, view their earnings, and pay themselves out had seen better days. Written in 2006 with a very early version of Rails, it was long in the tooth fora modern web app. A full rewrite to the latest version of Rails (in the spring of 2011) led to a more performant and stable site, and happier users.

indy hackers

IndyHackers.org helps Indianapolis-area programmers keep track of user groups and other related events in the area, and connects passionate programmers with local jobs. To handle the job board as well as the calendar that is central to IndyHackers, a Rails app was built that allows users to easily submit jobs, and allows me to easily manage them.

second eyes

TrendyMinds sought someone to build a highly-responsive, easy-to-use app for auditing the content of a web property. SecondEyes simply needs to be pointed at a sitemap, and it fills up with pages that need to be reviewed. A clean, responsive UI that relies upon keeps you on the page makes it easy to get things done.
