What's the difference between inTERnet and inTRAnet?


inTERnet refers to the world wide web (www) - a vast interconnection of computers that allows communication in virtually all directions and is accessible to just about anyone (although some sites require a form of membership in order to gain access).

inTRAnet refers to a private network owned by a company and allows access to only their employees and/or only those that are granted a login id and password. This is not a "membership" that you can buy into or sign up for; you are either elgible for access or not. Often a company will grant limited access of their intranet to their trading partners. Intranets allow employees within a company to exchange and share data that aids them in completing their tasks or provides company information such as employee benefits. Generally, the information found on an intranet is not of interest to the general public.

Below are a few sample sites that I've worked on.

 Informational and Sales sites (HTML / CSS / JavaScript / Paypal):
 
EFT4YOU.com    MountainRiverTaiChi.com
Emotional Freedom / EFT
Totally redesigned the website in order to make the site cleaner and more concise both in terms of layout and content, while still conveying the original ideas and providing a peaceful experience. Created all website graphics, including the hawk which was from one of my photographs. Implemented PayPal shopping cart. Used AJAX to create collapsible/exandable descriptions for the long list of self-help CD's available for sale and organized the list into separate categories to make shopping easier. Implemented the ability to play background music while a visitor browses the site.
   Mountain River Tai Chi
Created website using CSS and HTML. Supplied several of the photographs that are used on the website. Created documentation so that owners can maintain the site themselves. Code and pages are structured in a modular fashion to make it easier for the owners to focus just on the content.
 
 Informational and Sales site (HTML / CSS / JavaScript / Blogger):
 
HPCanoes.com    HPCanoes.com
Hemlock Pete's
Redesigned an existing website using CSS and HTML to make the site look more attractive and modern. Site owner gave me carte blanche on the graphical design as well as the organization of the content and navigation. Main graphics were made by extracting and piecing together portions of photos supplied by the site owner. Created a collage of inspirational images on slow rotation for the sidebar. Set up and customized a blog using Blogger, including quick links and posts organized by category. Created a document for the site owner detailing how directories are organized and how to perform updates on this content-rich site.
 
 Informational and Sale sites (HTML / CSS):
 
Tipi Rental    Barnes Land Services
Tipi Rental
Created site to promote rental of a tipi. Highlighted boxes containing testimonials are interspersed amongst the text. Set up one of the images to show a different photo when the mouse is hovered over it – thus showing two very distinct views of the same object. Implemented a social media toolbar making it easy to share the site on Facebook, Twitter, etc.
   Barnes Land Services
Created informational site for a land services business. Uses a background image that fits the theme of the business without making the text hard to read. Took all the photographs that are used on the site.
 
 Informational site (HTML / CSS / Google Ads / Affiliate Ads / JavaScript / PHP / MySQL / WebCalendar):
 
HikeNewEngland.com    HikeNewEngland.com
Hike New England
Home page and trail report summaries are dynamically generated based on the contents of the database. Event calendar allows anyone to view free hiking events. Created "Hike Finder" so that vistors can perform detailed searches against the database based on attributes such as hike difficulty, region, distance, and keywords. Created a hiking time calculator allowing visitors to input distances, elevations, and walking paces in order to produce an estimated hiking time. Google ads and affiliate ads implemented as a revenue source. Created extensive administrative screens to allow for updating and querying the site's content.

TheSkyGuy.org    TheSkyGuy.org

The left-hand image above shows a page as seen by the general public; the right-hand image is that same page in Admin (update) mode. Created extensive documentation describing the structure of the site and maintenance procedures so that the site owner has complete control over the content which he uses to publish articles as well as class-specific information and assignments for the courses he teaches.
 
 Scheduling and Informational sites (HTML / CSS / JavaScript / PHP / MySQL / WebCalendar):
 
PPTOnlineScheduling.com    ClaireVonKarls.com
PPT Online Scheduling
Created an online scheduling system for a gym's personal training appointments. Each trainer working at the gym has to log in to access the system. From there, they can input information about their clients, and schedule training appointments. A trainer has limited access to the system; an administrative user has full access to the system and can update the many settings that allow for very precise control of the gym's appointment load. Weekly reports are automatically emailed to the administrator and active trainers.
   Claire Von Karls
Designed website to be in harmony with this psychotherapist's services. Page layout and style elements are controlled via stylesheets making the actual HTML pages very straightforward for easy maintenance.

A random page heading image is displayed upon each page load.
 
 E-commerce site (HTML / CSS / PHP / MySQL / Scene7 Image Server):
 
HealthCareInspirations.com    HealthCareInspirations.com

Implemented Scene7 image server functionality, allowing products on this e-commerce site to be enlarged, zoomed, and panned. This functionality also allows for multiple views of a single product. Modified database, admin screens, and user screens to allow capturing and validating of additional user account and order data. Enhanced the product admin screens to have "Delete" and "Duplicate" functions, making maintenance of the product catalog much easier. Created an admin screen for "Open Orders" allowing for quick access to orders that need to be processed. Enhanced functionality that sends order confirmation emails to both the customer and admin personnel. Coded SQL statements to globally update prices and comments text for all products. Implemented a minimum shipping charge into the order checkout process. Fixed a large number of bugs present in the existing system (although more still remain), including a bug that intermittently caused the placement of orders to fail while giving the customer a "success" message.

 Photography sites (PHP / CSS / JavaScript / File System):
A list of photographic events is dynamically created based on the directory structure... the event names are automatically retrieved by using the directory names. Once an event is selected by the user, all thumbnails within the specified directory are programmatically retrieved and displayed in pageable format (14-16 per page depending on the site). "Next" and "Previous" links appear as appropriate. The thumbnails are programmatically tied via hyperlinks to their corresponding larger images. File names are displayed on both the thumbnails and detail pages.
 
LK Portraits    LK Portraits
LK Portraits
Professional photography site: User may select events from a drop-down list (implemented via CSS) on the home page. From there a list of pageable thumbnail images is displayed. When the user clicks on a thumbnail, a larger image shows along with ordering information. Checkout is interfaced to PayPal yet picks up the order quantities from user-entered data on the photo site. Watermark is placed on larger photo programmatically. Designed (but not restricted to) to display photos of a uniform size. Photos are placed differently on the detail page depending on whether they are vertically or horizontally oriented. The appropriate watermark image is then laid over the photo. (Layout designed by site owner.)
