The New Healthplan.com
http://www.healthplan.com ? Feb 2009
When you do websites for other people and you?re really busy, the last thing that gets attention is your own site. About 2 years ago I got the project to redo the company?s website. Over the last 2 years it has been put off for ?more important? (read BILLABLE) things. The long redesign is nearing completion and I hope to finish it in Q1 2009.

The AVMAGHLIT trust is a fantastic insurance program for Veterinarians that offers many lines of coverage. The site allows case management and billing information for members. Quoting is also done via AJAX calls to php scripts interfacing with a mainframe quoting system.

First Health
http://www.fh-hps.com ? Completion: Nov 2007
When I came to Healthplan.com all sites were static php pages and had to be assigned a programming resource to update. I moved many of the HPS sites to the EzPublish content management system which allowed the sites to be updated by marketing resources and speed to-client delivery of marketing updates. First health was the first client to get the CMS makeover. The case management portion is done with AJAX calls to non-EzPublish PHP scripts.
