We never outsource. Every project in this portfolio is the work of Chris J Gilroy and the teams I’ve lead with my clients.

The Oakland A’sAthletics

A custom employee Intranet solution was designed and developed for this Major League Baseball team. It included multiple web apps, for the Employee “Roster”, a Directory with Contact information for several hundred employees, Homestand Game Schedule with custom database elements set to specific user-access levels, and a News Bulletin that filters relevent articles by Employee Type. The Team’s custom branding was incorporated into the design and new style standards were set to ensure the correct brandmark showed on light or dark sections, and active, focus and default color settings were created for additional elements that the team had not utlized before. LDAP was leveraged for easy and continuous employee login.

Galaxy Home Theater

The small business website showcased Home Theater products, services and a portfolio of featured work. Three different versions were produced over the years for this repeat client, one of our first and oldest. High resolution background video was inserted from manufacturer websites, and the media-centric industry allowed for more design tricks and features than we usually get to use. Subtle parallax animations and scrollspy effects brought life into the styling.

Animal Specialty Center

This pet emergency hospital and veterinary center was a small business website mostly comprised of simple text, images and video. The only functional features included were a contact form and an employee directory that allowed staff to add and edit or manage their own bios and photographs. Built for WordPress with the UIKit and PageBuilder, their employee admins can easily edit and manage the website without hired help, while always adhering to the branded custom-style.

Devil’s Canyon

A local SF Bay Area Handcrafted Ale and IPA company. This custom website was designed with care and product in mind. A custom product catalog was developed that allowed admins to upload product data via CSV, assign categories and subcategories and tags, and included custom elements like Alcohol Volume and Availabity of each product line and subsequent item. This was one of the first custom-designed sites built after the introduction of vertically-aligned content, giving our design and extra edge. Animated bottles slid across a virtual bar on the main product screen, and potential events were scheduled and booked at their event location via a custom form.

New Career Planning

A small, consulting firm that focuses on personal careers. Much of this project was design centric, with a simple and clean website that called for simple iullustrative graphic design and simple text. Custom iconography and vector illustration, global styling and branding were the main focus of the work.

DNC logo

I worked with Chris for the Biden-Harris campaign in 2020. Chris’ graphic designs and website are fantastic!

Analisa Swan, DNC Member Elect, Biden-Harris 2020
They took our old, antiquated web site and modernized it. The Microtechs enabled us to self manage the site moving forward, an advantage we did not have previously.
– Andrew Adelman, CoreTechs

Chris has been an amazing tech for us. He has redesigned Back Sports Page to give it an edger look and has been very good for us. I would recommend him to clients and help with whatever he needed me to do. It has been an honor to work with him to this point.

– Randy Zellea, Broadcaster

After being frustrated with prior developers, Chris has been an absolute professional in every capacity. The Microtechs expertise in this field is evident. Chris provided a product way beyond our expectations. He has continuously offered suggestions about improving the site and has been fantastic in dealing with my partner and myself. The site has received raves from fellow writers and readers and I attribute this to Chris. I have highly recommended him to people and will continue to do so.
