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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I’ve been using WordPress for a little over a year now. Like most people, I’ve always thought of it as a simple blogging system… and that’s about it. It works really great for blogs (like this one), but a few months ago I used it to build a job listings site for one of my [...]
I’ve been working the last few nights migrating this blog from Nucleus CMS to WordPress. It’s not that I’m necessarily unhappy with the way things were going, it’s just that I’m so impressed with the recent work done on WordPress. Also, this site is mainly a sandbox where I can try out new technologies, so [...]
Over the past few months I’ve been working on a site for a recruiting and HR consulting agency called Baatz Consulting, owned by a good friend (and my much trusted former HR Director) named Anotei Baatz. The project started out really small (just a couple pages) and quickly turned into a fully functional site complete [...]
