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 [...]
Once in a while a project comes along that makes you stop and think about how you’ve been doing things for a while. This project is like that. There’s nothing really revolutionary about it – a typical webzine created with WordPress and a few plugins – but it did provide some interesting opportunities to dive [...]
For the past year or so I’ve had the pleasure of working with the great folks at the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT), based in Fort Worth, Texas. They’ve been building an online system to encourage sharing, collaboration, and publication in the biodiversity research community. In their own words, “Atrium is a technology platform [...]
A few years ago I created a post titled Web Standards Resources. I wanted to create a list of sites, books, and blogs that were useful for me as a front-end developer. Recently I’ve decided to create a similar list of UI components that I refer back to time and again. Mainly, I’m wanting to [...]
A few months ago I worked on a project with a former co-worker who now works at a design firm in Laguna Beach, California. We launched the site without delay, but I mistakenly delayed in writing a post for my own site. John Wooden Interiors (JWI) is a full service design firm specializing in high-end [...]
Sometimes the small, fast-paced projects can present the most rewarding sense of accomplishment. My latest freelance project, the second of a pair of quick projects, is another fun collaboration with Mark Reeves of Reeves Design House. As the site explains, Sparkabilities is a series of DVDs for babies and toddlers designed to develop essential learning [...]
I’ve been busy working on a couple freelance projects with Reeves Design House. The first one is for R. Harper + Associates, a management consulting firm in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. It’s a simple site with a small number of pages, but I still had a good time building it since the visual design is [...]
I’m happy to announce the launch of another project with the ever talented Mark Reeves of Reeves Design House. Mark always does a great job and this project is no exception. The site is for a new Italian restaurant in Uptown Dallas, in the Travis Walk area. There are several printable menus on the site, [...]
I’ve been working closely with Reeves Design House over the past year or so on a variety of freelance projects. They’ve been landing some great projects and I’ve really enjoyed being a part of as much of them as time permits. The latest set of projects has offered me some wonderful learning opportunities. We’ve been [...]
Developing a web-based application for the iPhone (and iPod Touch) has its fair share of unique challenges. Recently, I had the opportunity to dive into such a project by developing a user interface for an application my brother built a while ago. He had created a server-based web app, just for fun, that provides helpful [...]
