What is Eleven Twenty-Seven Web? Eleven Twenty-Seven Web is the trade name by which Scott Gurley operates his full time freelance
business.
What does Eleven Twenty-Seven Web do? In a nutshell, Eleven Twenty-Seven Web creates highly interactive and novel communication
solutions through database-driven web applications. More specifically, Eleven Twenty-Seven Web consults with you and your team on all aspects of your
project from initial concept outline, budgeting, planning and scheduling and eventually programming a web application and site to address your issues.
For some samples and case studies, see the Samples section.
Who are your clients? The Eleven Twenty-Seven Web client list is long and varied from manufacturers to service companies. Here are
a sampling of clients and their success stories:
- Manufacturer: Working with a manufacturer involved in advertising, I built a prospect manager for tracking all leads by the sales force and helping
to prioritize appointments and calls. This system allows management to track the sales team to allow weekly collaboration.
- Advertising Agency: Working with an advertising agency, I've developed several sites for that agency's clients. Speaking the "language" of the designers
at an agency, I'm able to take mockups and concepts and develop entire sites. If a designer wants pixel-perfect recreations of his/her designs,
I'm experienced and getting cross-platform/cross-browser reliable pages within all specs.
- Entrepreneur: A one-person manufacturer asked me to hand-code her entire site including a 'Community' blog and RSS feed. This site features and extensive
lineup of products that can be purchased on-line. The site includes 'specials' such as 'buy 3 get 10% off' and other complicated custom features.
- Retail Store: A family owned retail store approached me to create a 'back-office' database drive inventory management system. This system
allows daily reports on inventory levels as well as restocking order forms and reports. The system ties into the clients' Point of Sale software
to allow constant monitoring of inventory levels.
How does Eleven Twenty-Seven Web do it? Generally, I don't believe in using canned 'off the shelf' software for developing custom
websites. I hand code almost everything from scratch. With that said, I am comfortable working in other programmers' coding frameworks but
prefer the 'roll your own' approach. I do used canned software for things such as custom AJAX functions or PDF generation. I've found, time and time
again, that canned packages often take too much time to learn or are lacking in that one feature that was essential for your project.
I've learned I can write and document my own systems just as fast and have a much higher quality product custom built for my client. All sites I develop
are written in object-oriented PHP with a MySQL database. I prefer Apache web-servers and Linux operating systems. I am what is called a LAMP (Linux,
Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl) programmer. My development platform of choice is Macintosh. I have had plenty of experience on all flavors of Windows and Linux
and several versions of BSD.
Please browse my site and be sure to visit the samples section where I have outlined several
of the solutions I have developed along with screen shots and links to those that are publicly accessible.
