Bobby and his wife Melanie, a dentist, purchased the practice of the late Ed Beal, DDS in July of 2010.  One of the main goals of this new endeavor was the need to reestablish the practice in the community as it was closed for several months.  Bobby teamed up with Abbey Matejek (formerly Abbey Machacek of Shiner) of Abbey Creative to design the website in addition to the logos and collateral used by Shiner Dental, PLLC.  This design was a collaborative effort and then subsequently brought to life by Bobby.  It is a pure html website with CSS styling.

Dr. Vaz contacted Bobby to develop his new website for his clinic in Gonzales. Bobby and Dr. Vaz looked over a myriad of material that Dr. Vaz had gathered in preparation for the website project. After going through the material and discussing what was the best methodology to put the data on the website, Bobby endeavored to get the site up and running. Although not 100% finished, the site is up and all that is lacking is a desired services page depicting explanations of the various procedures that Dr. Vaz provides.

Rock Motors, LLC is a local used car dealership in Victoria, TX. What the owner was looking for was a way to get his inventory online where he would reach more potential customers. What needed to be accomplished was a complete suite; whereas, all the management of the online inventory could be handled in house as there were changes to be made frequently. Bobby developed a backend to the website where pictures and descriptions of the vehicles could be uploaded. It also has the ability to edit and delete the vehicles in the inventory list after it is sold. On the front end, Bobby created a listing page with links to the detailed description and pictures of the vehicles. There is an AJax based photo enlargement feature in addition to a print friendly page where the details and a picture of the vehicles could be printed out. Thus far, the website has performed flawlessly and the owner of Rock Motors, LLC couldn't be happier.

Bobby and Melanie joined the Lions Club when they moved to Gonzales. After attending several meetings and seeing first hand how information was dispersed and minutes and club business presented to the members, Bobby suggested developing a SharePoint website for the internal documents and a public website to educate the public of what the Gonzales Noon Lions club was about. After a couple of months, the public site as well as the SharePoint site were configured and presented to the club. After training the club's senior members on the use of the SharePoint portal, all internal documentation is stored on the Sharepoint Portal where anyone can access it at any time. A calendar keeps track of the club's events throughout the year and announcements can be posted which are automatically emailed to the club members' email inboxes. The public website is an Asp.Net website with a Wordpress blog. The members are all proud of their website and especially like the SharePoint portal.
