Credit card integration

I have installed systems that interface with PayPal, ClickBank and ProPay. Because ProPay uses an XML API to interface directly with banking systems, many more security precautions are required that for PayPal, which is more of an indirect gateway for online customers.

Abstract level database coding

I have created a system that allows administrators to input various form elements in order to create custom made online order forms for different stationary companies. The system also collects and processes all orders that are input through these forms.

Fundacio Privada Auxilio

Fundacio Privada Auxilia is a Spanish foundation for disabled children and adults. Their site was made by a third party, who contacted Seahorse Design to provide the code for an agenda facility. The facility is set up to enable staff to input and edit agenda items for display on the website.
