The #1 adoption related website in the world. One of the great features of this site is the dynamic content. I wrote several scripts that pull this dynamic content in such a way that optimizes the load time for each user. What actually happens is a cron job runs every few minutes to run a PHP script that queries a MySQL database and updates a flat file that gets included by the page. Then other scripts use that information to display the dynamic content. That way each user's visit doesn't send a query to the ten different databases that this site would have had to otherwiste connect to. Also, this site has, what we call, GeoTargetting technology. Which means I was able to write PHP scripts that deliver area-specific content and ad banners to each user. Also, link-tracking software that I developed keeps track of what links visitors click on when they come to this page. It's instant usability feedback.

Recently I've been assisting Ryan Nelson with the layout and look & feel of this website. The header and footer are both part of my universal system. Asside from being a very large online retail site (about 1,500 products), it's worth mentioning that this site is powered by SMARTY. Now, this project is still fairly new (compared to the old Interchange driven site), and so I don't want to give the impression that I know everything there is to know about SMARTY, but it is definetly the direction I'm headed.
