I’m really excited to announce the launch of my latest collaboration with Reeves Design House for the IIDA Texas Oklahoma Chapter. The International Interior Design Association (IIDA) has chapters all over the world so working on this project was a great opportunity. The site is a bit bigger than most that we have developed recently [...]
They say many hands make light work. This is especially true in website development when you’ve got a great group of teammates you can count on. My latest project was another collaboration with Mark Reeves, who created a wonderfully flexible and visually appealing site design. Due to the inconvenient timing of my recent home move, [...]
Sometimes the simpler sites are more fun to build. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy building complex sites in a CMS with loads of plugins and other flashy bits and pieces. But it’s a good break to be able to build a straightforward PHP site without all the bells and whistles. The Salem & [...]
For the past several months I’ve been experimenting with an exciting set of web technologies. You may have heard the latest buzzword for what I’ve been doing. You know the one: HTML5. If something is new and cool, it must have been done with HTML5, right? Well, not necessarily. It’s true that HTML5 has some [...]
I’m always eager to dive into a project that presents a new, or otherwise unique, challenge. In this case, Mark Reeves at Reeves Design House created a visual design based on a grid of ten rectangular boxes — consistent across the whole site. This might seem fairly simple, but from a coding standpoint it can [...]
I’m excited to announce the launch of a site for Dr. Karsan, a facial plastic surgeon in the Dallas area. It’s a pretty straightforward site built with PHP, XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It’s clean, functional, usable, and accessible. Yet another beautiful design by Mark Reeves at Reeves Design House. Take a look at the Dr. [...]
Over the past several months I’ve been working with Glide Design — an Austin-based web site design firm — on a number of interesting projects. We’ve been building the sites with WordPress which is a great solution for a lightweight CMS. I’ve had a lot of fun working on these projects and learning as much [...]
This is the third post (of three) discussing the topic of Ajax. If you haven’t already done so, you might want to go back and read Part 1 (general introduction, definitions, and history) and Part 2 (development sandbox with examples). Now that I’ve covered the basics of Ajax and implemented some demos, I’d like to [...]
Lately I’ve noticed a huge variance in the usage of the term Ajax. So I’ve decided to take some time to explore the topic and share my findings in a few blog posts. In this first post, I’d like to share some info from the original blog post that defined and popularized the new interaction [...]
I’ve been working on a site that requires both English and Spanish content. The user interface elements, such as the primary navigation, copyright statement, and form labels, need to be bilingual as well. The client needs the ability to update all of the content (and write new blog entries) themselves, so early on I decided [...]
