  •   complex sites
   
Alvin Golf & Country Club

The Alvin Golf & Country Club website was first developed in 2005. It has since undergone three updates, with the last being completed in June, 2009.

After the last upgrade, the site traffic has tripled, and business has never been better. This site contains several forms, an internal search engine, an interactive photo gallery, a pop-up calendar, Flash banner, an intranet, domain-name customized email, and multiple pages. Farrell Documentation designed the logo for this site.

Bay Area Baseball Association The Bay Area Baseball Association website has all the bells and whistles. This site won an award in the STC 2008 – 2009 EOCC (international) competitions and an Award of Excellence in the Houston Chapter competitions.

This site often generates over 100 page views a day, has a shopping cart, an internal search engine, forums, a blog, a photo gallery, forms, monthly and pop-up calendars, Flash banner, an intranet, domain-name customized email, and many, many pages and documents, all developed by Farrell Documentation. Farrell Documentation designed the logo for this site which also functions as the favicon.

  •   interactive websites (client can update)
   
Texas Cages This is a basic website with email and a limited number of pages. However, the site has certain areas of the page that can be updated right from the Internet by users with a login and password. These announcements are controlled by a MySQL database that is invisible to the user.

Users can add, update, and delete announcements. Only the last four announcements appear by default; site visitors then page through previous announcements with links so that the page containing the announcements never appears too long in the browser.

Other features of this site include a custom logo, custom graphic banner, domain-specific email, and contact form. Farrell Documentation designed the logo for this site which also functions as the favicon.

Many customers of this business say that they discover this facility from the website and use this site to find the facility for the first time.

  •   standard sites
   
City of Hillcrest Village The City of Hillcrest Village website is a municipal site with approximately 20 pages plus documentation, scripts, and images. This site is updated monthly with content provided by the client.

The City of Hillcrest Village website has more than most standard sites, including an online calendar application, a photo gallery and a forum. Farrell Documentation designed the logo for this site which also functions as the favicon.

Texas Wildcats Baseball The Texas Wildcats Baseball website is a static site with historical data. (The organization has ceased operations.) This site borders on being a complex site because of the rich features included when it was an active site.

This site is no longer updated, but it has several pages and includes items not normally found in a standard site such as a calendar, an age calculator, and a photo gallery.

  •   basic, static sites
   
Professional's Choice Housekeepers This is a basic website with custom graphic banner and five pages, including a contact form. These sites, like all sites include annual updates (unless you subscribe to a monthly or weekly plan) and professional SEO to help your site's ranking.

This site was designed using the customer's color scheme and logo. It includes a printable coupon that first-time customers can use to receive a discount. The coupon opens in a layer window that is not restricted by pop-up blockers. The print button does not print on the coupon. All the content on the site was professionally edited by Farrell Documentation.

Mystic Nails

This is a basic website with four pages. This site was designed for a client with no computer knowledge or email address, so there is no contact form, only a phone number.

This site has an embedded Google map both to help clients locate the business and to improve page ranking. It also serves Google ads to provide additional revenue.
