UnboundWords.com

A site I built that allows indie authors to sell their ebooks from their own websites, with no technical skill required. Authors simply paste a snippet of code to their site, and a buy button appears, handling payment processing, fulfillment, and collecting the buyer's email for a mailing list. Built in php with a Mysql database. UnboundWords.com

BuildMyTribez.com

Tribez makes it easy for business to grow their mailing list of people who want to hear from them. It combines simple tools for building landing pages and email automation, so when a customer joins the list, they begin receiving a series of automated emails on whatever schedule is set. This forms a relationship, as the customer continues to get new content, and ultimately turns interest into purchases. BuildMyTribez.com

 

Ad-AI.com

The Ad Sentinel product continuously scans a business's Facebook ad performance, watching for opportunities to improve the ad's targeting and get more bang for the marketing buck. If it finds that an ad is underperforming in a certain gender/age range/region, it sends a text message asking for permission to remove that segment. The customer texts back 'yes', and the action is done for them in seconds. Built in php and MySQL on a Rackspace cloud server architecture.

ChrisKohout.com

My personal author site (science fiction), done on Wordpress. Readers can buy from Amazon, or directly from me, using the Unbound Words system. It integrates my Twitter feed as well.

My Approach

"What problem are we solving?"

I love to begin with this question, because it frames the issue at hand and also tells us when we have succeeded.

Familiar Technology

I specialize in using PHP for the backend code and MySQL for the database layer. Since I've been doing this a long time, I can often save time by adapting past code functions/techniques to new problems.
