Bike Temple is a University-wide program to promote bicycle use by Temple students, faculty, and staff. The overall goal of the program is to enable more people to travel on a bike and to do so safely, to build a great bike culture at Temple that supports the University’s commitment to sustainability and reputation for innovative, green programs.
This project was an end-to-end effort. I came in and worked with the stakeholders to create a long run vision for the site. Some of the duties included:
- Information Architecture
- Work with student workers to develop a graphical theme
- Implement the graphics on Drupal
- Implement all features
- Setup a LAMP stack.
- Memcache
- Varnish
- APC
- PHP 5.2
- MySQL 5.1
More features to come.

Sometimes I get requests from friends to help them with a business they're trying to get started. Often times when someone is considering how to get going, one of the first bullet points is "Create a basic website".
