Feross.org

I design high quality, standards-compliant websites for businesses and non-profit groups, but mostly for myself. I started designing websites at age 14, when I first learned HTML. Since then, I’ve learned a lot about web development and the Internet — and I’m still learning.

Here’s a list of all my software projects.

Sites That I Built & Own

FreeTheFlash Entertainment
freetheflash.com

• 600,000 unique visitors and 3,000,000 page views in 2006.
• Built a custom PHP+MySQL back-end to make website content easy to manage.

This is the first real website that I built, way back in 2005. Not only is this my oldest site, but it’s also been my most popular. I built the site to collect all my favorite flash animations, videos, and games from around the Web in one place. Since I launched it, I’ve received nearly 500 submissions from movie and game creators.

Study Notes
studynotes.org (currently in beta)

• 350,000 unique visitors and 1,000,000 page views in 2009.
• Runs on Joomla, with some custom PHP+MySQL.

StudyNotes.org offers free study materials for AP classes, SAT and ACT exams to high school students in an innovative new way. This site is still in development, and I’ve got a lot of work to do on it, but it’s already been extraordinarily popular. To read about my plans for the site, go here.

Sites That I Built

Stanford Association for Computing Machinery
stanfordacm.com

• 350+ members in our chapter of the ACM.
• Site runs on WordPress, for quick, simple blog posts.

As the president of the Stanford chapter of the ACM, I built this site to make communication with our 350+ members more effective. The ACM, in case you’re unfamiliar, is the world’s largest educational and scientific computing society, delivering resources that advance computing as a science and a profession.

Hands For Hope
hands4hopeyouth.org

• Youth-driven outreach organization based in my hometown.
• Site runs on Joomla, with some third-party plugins and components.

I helped Hands For Hope create a site that would be useful to their rapidly growing membership, and help youth have a positive impact in their community.

Oak Ridge High School Key Club
orhskeyclub.com

I was the webmaster and “techie” of my high school’s Key Club. This site is old, but I’m keeping it alive because of all the good memories I had in the club. Key Club, in case you’re unfamiliar, is an international student-led organization which organizes community service events to help the local community and help students build character and develop leadership.
