Some time last year I have been chosen by Fuscient to take the role of XHTML/CSS coder for the Sustainable Growth website.
My task involved slicing the PSD templates and coding them into valid XHTML/CSS, as well as usability testing and taking care of accessibility issues. It was with great pleasure that I took part in creating this site. To both my and client's satisfaction after a few days I delivered the code for the main page and sub page templates.
When Fresh LMVD—the New Zealand based car dealership—were starting-up last year, they knew just who to approach for the coding of their website.
My assignment consisted of slicing and creating XHTML/CSS for five PSD templates, the data was to be provided by a dynamic backend—the company requested the ability to add/delete cars, provide photos and maintain their site. One week later the site was up and running, with inventory full of cars—just in time for the opening of Fresh LMVD.
Sadly, at the moment, the site is down... and I have no idea of what how Fresh LMVD will continue on their web journey.
Flidget was a different than usual project for me and Rob and as such it was a lot of fun.
Our aim was to create a widget to upload photos to Flickr, something to substitute Flickr Uploadr or the web interface, when all one wants is to upload one or two photos. Rob took the part of designer and I, armed with a Widget coding tutorial on Apple's site and skEdit, took the part of coder (widgets consist of XHTML, CSS, Javascript, and some proprietary code). Tiger was released on April 29th and our widget was out and available for download just a few days later, on May 1st.
It became an instant hit and to date has been downloaded several thousand times. We thank Apple for the opportunity to use our Web design skills for something a little different and more enjoyable…
This site was my second coding project for the Utah web company Fusion Creations.
My job was to slice the PSD templates and create XHTML/CSS code. In addition to that I had to create a 360-tour using Javascript and do some other minor Javascript work. In the end, I delivered all the pages that are present on the current site (even though they were modified a little) and the site serves the client well. Check out the site…
The only thing I want to distance myself from is the Webmaster Resources part of the website, which serves as an obvious SEO spam directory and which I had nothing to do with.
This was the third site that came from my partnership with the PointVision Web Development company.
My part in the project, as usually, consisted of creating XHTML and CSS code from the PSD template. There was only one template to be coded and that was the main page, all the other pages followed the same basic format. What are you waiting for?
The final code looks very different from what I delivered, but only because of the CMS being used on the site.
The second site that I worked on for the people over at PointVision Web Development.
As with the other two projects for PointVision my part in this project was fairly limited, it consisted of creating two templates—the main page and inside page. For those I had to take care of creating a valid code, cross-browser testing and accessibility. Overall, the site was a huge success and ranks highly in Google for all the important keywords, despite minimum backlinks, no extra SEO work and huge competition.
Shortly before the summer of 2005 I was contacted by the PointVision Web Development company to do some work for them as a Web Standards expert and create the XHTML/CSS code for this website, as well as provide client-side coding for it's backend.
I had been given two templates and was give a week to code them into valid, accessible and cross-browser compatible XHTML/CSS. The job was done the next morning and PointVision were so happy with my performance that they chose to hire me two more times over the last year.
As expected the site ranks highly in Google for the important keywords even without any extra SEO work.
This was my first project for the Utah web company Fusion Creations and a complicated one at that.
When I was first given the template I expected an easy project, but then the revelation came. I had to slice the flat JPEG. No PSD, no layers. Many refused to take on this job before me, but I decide that it surely can't be that hard.
My work involved a lot of slicing and re-drawing in order to get good enough images to use on the website. The final result was great, it worked on all browsers and the code was fairly clean considering that there were severe limitations due to having only a flat JPEG available.
Sadly, Fusion Creations decided to tune up several things and the code doesn't look nearly as good anymore. Still, the site is cross-browser compatible and works just fine.
Fecklessmind is my personal weblog and so when I designed it last year I decided to try something new, something that wasn't everywhere on the web already.
My goal was to use solely the color black complimented by one other color that would symbolize myself. That color was destined to be the cherry/violet that plagues even this site. Why? Simply because I feel like it's me and because it's the one color that is hardly ever used on the web. With that in mind I went on and did what still remains the design on Fecklessmind today—to my surprise it was very well received in the web design world. The site also includes some nice Javascript (or rather Ajax) functionality.
But even better were received my articles on web standards that I published a few days after start-up of Fecklessmind. Sadly, even though I wanted to write, there was never enough time to actually publish Fecklessmind and slowly it died. But not to worry, the new design is in the works and I've got much more planned for this revision of Fecklessmind.
