- Websites designed and developed by Lin-Lin Mao:
- Walter Johnson High School Education Foundation. This is a non-profit organization. In addition to creating the site, I added PayPal™ donate buttons to the site for collecting on-line contributions.
- MCCPTA (Montgomery County Council of PTAs). This website was completely revamped from its previous incarnation.
- Tilden Middle School. This website was completely revamped from its previous incarnation.
- Musical Expressions. I created this brochure website in 2006. It is maintained by an employee at Musical Expressions.
- Artist Bertrand Mao. My father's website which showcases his artwork and services.
- Websites updated by Lin-Lin Mao:
- Lucid IDS. I fixed the code underneath this website so that all pages displayed correctly on the most popular browsers. When I started work on this website the graphics and content were already there, however the HTML code was terrible which is why it did not display correctly. I moved a lot of the "hard-coded" display information from the HTML files to a CSS file and also corrected the extremely sloppy HTML code.
- Artist Susan Goldman. I have updated Artist Susan Goldman's website with new images and text that she has emailed me.
