Purpose designed and built subscription-based e-zine website.

All pages dynamically generated via PHP and custom CMS.
Site is heavily styled with CSS
Features include popout nav button (essentially a site directory on a button), auto article generation, auto sidebar generation, auto pull-quote generation, photo gallery.
Article content generated from 'dot code' (like nroff or troff) input files with proprietary parser/html generator. (This is a trade-off solution that allows content to be written with a minimum of markup junking up the content, and without the extra burden of creating a wysiwyg editor.)
Photoshop scripting to handle mass processing of pictures.
All content pages 99% conformant to XHTML 1.0 (the 1% non-compliance is for the 'oncontextmenu' tag, which provides functionality I'm not willing to give up for standards compliance.)

All content located out of webspace, including pictures, to control access.
JavaScript used extensively - all scripts are external to the pages.
XAJAX used to provide partial updates and communication from client-side JavaScript and server-side PHP.
Content tuned to subscription/membership level.
Utilizes dynamically increasing 'annoy' levels to incentivize subscription, based on number of pages visited and time spent on each page.
Large pictures dynamically watermarked 'on the fly', depending on visitor's subscription status (uses PHP GD library).
Site is pre-processed to pre-generate complex structures that don't change.

Uses PHP Session management to control sessions.
Uses cookie management to auto-logon returning members.
Apache Mod_Rewrite used to abbreviate urls for SE friendliness (URLs are short and appear static.)
Uses Google text advertising.
PayPal professional merchant kit (PHP based) used to provide credit card processing (or PayPal, if the subscriber chooses.)
