My name is Clayton McIlrath and I am an entrepreneur currently living in CO. I personally enjoy the process of learning, exploring, and doing all things creative as well as sharing my experiences with others.

Feel free to contact me anytime for questions or opportunities.
There are many ways to communicate and store data from front-end to back-end, but many require AJAX which may take too much time to develop or might not fit the project correctly.

A while back, I developed an application to automate our workflow and gather information from potential clients before meeting with them. This was a pretty basic RFP form, but I had many people tell me how interested they were in it, and that they wanted to use it for themselves.

Rather than updating and re-skinning I decided to start from scratch and share the old one with whoever wants it. You can customize this application as necessary, but please give credit to Chosen with a link back to this site or the main Chosen site.. even if the link is hidden, we still like it there for SEO.
