web development outsourcing

mission

My mission is to provide high quality web development outsourcing. I specialize in freelance PHP, MySQL, XHTML, CSS and Javascript programming. I partner with designers and marketers to develop and maintain sites using platforms like Zen Cart, X-Cart and Wordpress.

Additionally, I offer web server administration with experience in remotely installing and maintaining LAMP servers (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP).

Have a problem with or need to add something to your site? I can devise a creative solution.

If you prefer to deal with someone who takes your perspective and your users' perspective, contact me. My job is to do what I do best so you can do what you do best!

bio

John WrightAt age 10, I built a low-power AM/FM radio station from parts salvaged from garage sales. I went on to a career in radio for several years.

Then I worked as a technician involved in many aspects of computer operation including assembly, repair, upgrading and networking.

After a few years of developing personal projects, I founded webRight in 2003. I help business, education and non-profits create and extend their web presence. I'm proud of what I do.

I work on a Mac. However, I test on a variety of mobile and desktop platforms.

Had to develop a custom import solution. The site […] read more...

Massage Therapy

Excellent example of WordPress used primarily as a CMS for a brochure site. The blog itself, “thoughts”, is only one of many top-level links (pages). Took a free theme and used only the layout.
