Puerto Rico Music Store.com is my baby. It’s my PHP playing ground. A lot of the knowledge and skills I have today have come from developing, maintaining, and modifying the site. I guess you could say that this is where I found out what that this was something I wanted to do for the rest of my life.

I have been with the site from the very beginning. It has been online for about 5 years. Throughout that time there have been many changes to the back-end of the site. Sadly, because I’m not a designer, the end user hasn’t really seen many changes to the site which is is why I decided to revamp it.

In recent weeks I have been working on updating the design and implementing new features. The new look will be geared towards a web 2.0-type design. There will be more content on the main page. And we will focus heavily on search engine optimization (SEO).

Here’s a sneak peek…

ASR.Gobierno.pr

One of the first projects that I worked on that is still live is the page for the “Administración de los Sistemas de Retiro del Gobierno y la Judicatura” (ASR). ASR is the a Puerto Rican government agency that is in charge of the retirement plans and policies for government workers on the island.

I was subcontracted by ASR’s Webmaster to help in the development aspect of the projects. The project took about 6-8 weeks to complete. Once it was launched, it was their Webmaster who was in charge of maintaining and updating the site as needed. This was one of my very first projects and I am thrilled that most of it has survided intact to this day.

Some of the projects I’ve worked on have been on a temporary basis. Sometimes there are simple enhancements to be done and sometimes they are temporary projects. In either case, they are sites that I have worked on as some point in recent history but they may not necesarily contain any of my content.

“Why do you include them on this blog?” you might ask yourself. Well, mostly it’s because they are big companies. I am happy that I have worked in one way or another on these sites even if some have gone through some heavy changes since I last touched them.
