Over 40 live web sites, each one gets better looking and more efficient, (if I do say so myself). I'm so happy to have found a career that I truly enjoy. Embryo Design is just me, a freelance web developer, designer and programmer. My specialties include search engine optimization, user friendly interfaces, and eye catching graphics and layout. I pay attention to detail and try to anticipate issues before they arise.

Pet Nutrition Products, Inc 1631 Rock Springs Rd, Suite 323 Apopka FL 32712-2229 www.petnutritionproducts.com	Title: Webmaster 9/1/2007 - 8/1/2011
The only web developer and an integral part of a 2 person team that took the company from under $50k per year in annual revenue to over $1.5 million dollars in under 3 years. Primary Responsibilities: Develop and maintain four ecommerce web sites, two using Zen Cart. www.petnutritionproducts.com, www.allpetsupplyrx.com , www.petsuppliesandmore.com and www.simplypetsuppies.com. When I started with PNP, they had a shopping cart that was proprietary and built in ASP and SQL. It was a bit clunky but I managed to maintain and develop new functionality for about a year. I then convinced the CEO that a new solution was the best route to go in order to grow. I recommended Zen Cart because I was already familiar with it, their budget was null, and it was free. The Zen Cart installations have more modifications than I can remember. I've also been told by other Zen Cart gurus that they could not tell it was Zen Cart. I'm very good with PHP and MySQL and added my own functionality to the shopping cart. I developed many internal administration areas to compliment the modifications made. I also developed an administration system that allows our pharmacy to manage prescription orders. And, I managed one SEO employee. My responsibilities also included all graphics (including both for web and print), SEO, SEM, maintaining the office network, configuring automated shipping systems, e-newsletters and email lists, shopping comparison site management (including data feeds), social media, vendor relations, troubleshooting customer issues, manage 17 other satellite sites, branding and just about anything else that was asked of me. I also created the PNP logo.

Testimonial

I love the website that Joe designed for me! I get lots of compliments from my customers about how beautiful and easy to use it us. And Joe is great to work with. He welcomed my input during the design process and spent lots of time patiently teaching me how to operate my new site. Several years later, he still is available if I have a question, and I am always amazed by how quickly he responds! Joe is creative, professional, and trustworthy - I highly recommend entrusting your website design to him.
