I've been building web sites since 1996. My first site, "The Menzies Era" (www.menziesera.com) web site was launched as a small exercise to learn about the new World Wide Web. (There were only about 10,000 web sites in 1996 - but that was an enormous increase from around 700 sites a year earlier.) Over the years, the site has grown to around 1,000 pages and and has had around 3,000,000 visitors.

Since then, I've build many web sites, mainly for small businesses. I'm especially interested in helping green businesses and associaltions.

These days I mostly use html, php and javascript to build my sites and SQL for any databases.

One tool that I use is MODx. This is a "content management system" designed for small business. It enables me to set up web sites in which you can easily change the content as often as you like with a design to your own specification and a cost that is affordable to a small business. An example of a MODx site is here.

Another great tool for businesses and associations is phpMyDirectory. This allows me quickly set up a site to which members can add their details creating a directory of businesses, products or services. Again, the cost is very affordable for a small business or association. An example directory is here.

For those wanting to establish a discussion forum or bulletin board, I use bbPress. Here is an example.

Let me know if you would like some help with a web site.

Here are a few examples of my web sites:
