Willdonovan.com was established to provide a workspace for designing, developing, and testing websites for various clients prior to their final deployment.
The websites that were developed, such as those shown here, were designed to be user-friendly and maintainable by the client.
In addition to website design, I have also been collecting recipes over the past several decades and have stored them here for your perusal. Take a look.
Since the mid-1980s, I have been designing FileMaker Pro databases. Claris FileMaker Pro is a cross-platform database application renowned for its combination of power and ease of use. Over the years, I have developed numerous databases for non-profit organizations, schools, and businesses of all sizes.
The solutions I have provided include contact management, landscape and gardening records, real estate, event planning, magazine publications, and even a Wordle solver.
If you need a FileMaker Pro database created or simply need someone to update your own databases to FileMaker Pro version 21 then please contact me.
My background encompasses industrial technology. I have also taught woodworking, photography, and brickmaking among other subjects. I spent many years establishing industrial workshops for producing building materials, such as bricks, roofing tiles, and lime. During my time in Africa, I contributed to the development of a simple system for making storage jars out of just sand and cement.
Based on my experience in brickmaking in Sudan and Mozambique, I co-authored a book titled “Village-Level Brickmaking” with my wife. The graphic design, layout, and drawings were all created by us using a Macintosh Plus computer and Page-Maker, and the book was printed on a laserwriter printer while we were working in Lesotho in 1988. What is now commonplace, namely computers and publishing, was quite revolutionary at the time. The book remains available for purchase, although it may be challenging to locate. You can find it in your library under the ISBN 3-528-02051-2.
