• Develop Shopping Cart and Checkout procedures to collect information for ECommerce, Marketing Tracking and other analytic information, some of which is used in future marketing strategies.
• Working in a 2-3 person team (along with ad writers and graphic designers), increased company sales share through department from 4.2% to 12%-15% per month (average), and at times reaching 20% in a slowing economy.
• Generated $5,080 in sales (over 6 months) by developing code and process to give customers 'Store Credit' to use on an online store, subtly encouraging them to purchase above credit offered. Most Items between $20 and $100.

Majority of customers were of an older demographic. I take this and User Experience into consideration when designing new projects. I spend extra time and care on forms in trying to create the simplest way for the user, to collect information needed. I added scripts that auto populate City/State when user enters Zip Code and auto Credit Card Type selection based on Credit Card Number. I also re-display entered information upon user errors and failed page submits.

I utilize PHP on pages to control pricing based on current promotions, prices pulled from database, and Shopping Carts/Checkout procedure developed by me. (I also have a built admin backend sections.)
