Laravel Driven Websites

[John Willikers]

Hello, I work part-time as a Junior Web Developer for a website thats kinda like UBER but for advertising alcohol.

Im looking to make a little extra beer money and fill up a portfolio at the same time. All my websites are performance > everything. I like to make sure my back-end is as efficient as possible.

I am proficient in HTML, Bootstrap(CSS), Javascript/JQuery, PHP, MYSQL.

All websites will feature SSL and valid User Authentication with passwords being hashed and if credit cards are a thing encrypted. I like to follow the strictest security rules.

I would say my only achile's heel is that I cant color within the lines of a coloring book. But thats why I can buy themes

(I cant post links since im new) dragonspiritsmarketing(dot)com (Where I work) myboyjohn(dot)com (My Personal site where I put my personal projects)

I am new to these forums so please be easy on me if I did something the community frowns on.

EDITS: Fixed some grammatical errors

You say what all your website are performance over everything but the website where you work at has a 2.73s loading time. That alone deletes any chance of having a decent competition agaisnt other domains for a good google search result.

Also, your personal site doesn't show anything..

Well the website I work at isnt a simple little website that has pretty pictures and paragraphs on. Its used by thousands of users a second depending on the time of day. Our website is also used by three different types of users, so we have to develop features with three different sets of user. And you might have just pulled up the site when my Boss was pushing our latest commits to the live server. And if you still don't understand the size of the site. Our Codebase is 2.3GB. Thats not including photos, Vendors. Thats just raw PHP, Blade Templates, and Javascript. Hell our routes file is 5269 Lines long.

Second my website is blank, but that's cause i've been busy with IRL stuff. I'm currently working on a Guild Management tool for my guild in WoW. You can sign up, but I doubt you would be able to use the Tool. I also plan on having links to my work from here there.

However, mainstream sites such as CloudFlare have a load time lower than yours (admittedly not by much) but consider they will have a visit count 100x higher.

Just because your site isnt a simple html page, doesn't mean it's an excuse for slow loading times.

Secondly, your site probably has a 2.2 second load time because you have a 3k x 2k image being loaded, for whatever reason...

Might be, I havent really messed with the Front page. I spend most of my time working on Admin or Company Routes.
And also to throw in comparing our site to cloudflare is like comparing a Tesla to an '03 Toyota Prius. They probably have 100's of thousands into hardware.

Im not sure what the specs are on the VPS but its not like we are running mutliple copies of the website around the world.

+vouch This user helped make me a contact page and did an excellent job on it. He clearly knew what he was on about and is extremely good at what he does. He was supportive throughout the process taking my ideas on board and dealing with me being extremely picky with minute details. Extremely pleased with the result and can't fault the customer support. Thank you so much!
