Emlak Konut
Turkish property blog Emlak-Konut wanted to shake up the property market in Turkey and compete better with the larger property websites over there. I created a theme to do just that, complete with property submission forms that automatically create posts. Running on MU allowed them to use the same admin interface for their subdomain blogs too.

Integrity
Project done for partner Net Profit Services. This was a logo and website template re-design for an established Telecom Expense Management solutions provider.

WordPress Plugins

Adam Ghahramani, theOtaku.com
Mike has just completed his 4th Word Press project for us and as with the others has done an outstanding job in design, implementation, and ongoing support. I would have no hesitation on recommending Mike and will continue to use his skills on future projects we have.
Mike has done a great job on our site and really helped us out as never used wordpress before. He is very professional and can really turn any idea into a working reality. I would highly recommend him to any other website owners and will be using his services again in the near future for further projects.
Mike was a pleasure to work with. He is extremely helpful, very professional and quick, not to mention reasonably priced. I will definitely be using his services again, and would highly recommend him to anybody.
