Traveler Guitar

Alan — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 17:04:32 +0000

I've been working with Traveler Guitar for a while on their old site and suggested they try using a CMS such as wordpress so they could easily edit and add content on their own, this is the outcome of that suggestion. I designed the new site and built the theme using the Theme Hybrid Framework as a starting point. The product tabs are built with jQuery UI, but what I am probably most proud of are the form layouts. For some reason forms have really interested me lately.

You can scan through a couple of pages by clicking the image to the right, but you should probably view the full site at travelerguitar.com.

Active Team Pages

I was given the task of redesigning the team pages on activerideshop.com It is still a work in progress, but they are coming around. I like the larger portraits, videos and photo galleries.

Pierre Sprinkler & Landscape

The Pierre Sprinkler & Landscape site was built using Joomla! for the CMS. I created the template and installed all of the plug-ins and extensions necessary to meet their requirements. I am really happy with the outcome and Pierre Sprinkler & Landscape have been a pleasure to work with. Feel free to view the live site here.

Baby Royal Website

I built this site with Artistic Fury. He gave me a two page brochure and I turned it into a one page website, and we collaborated on the final outcome. This site was coded using xhtml, css, and javaScript, you can view a finished version here.

My Birthday

Alan — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 20:19:51 +0000

So I had a few friends and family members asking me what I was interested in for my birthday, in response I created a page with links and prices of those things. I made it using xhtml and valid css, fun little project to entertain myself for a couple hours. I also incorporated add to links for facebook, twitter, and myspace. You can view the page here.

ASAP Inc.

Alan — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 19:07:23 +0000

This is a homepage design I did for ASAP Inc. They wanted something related to action sports, but also wanted to bring some life to their site so I added an animated banner in the header using flash. Not sure If this is how the final site will look, but I am happy with it thus far.

House of Wormwood

Alan — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 18:44:33 +0000

This is a site designed for a friend. The brief she gave me was, "I need something quick, and I want it to be very dark, with lots of green, like Slytherin from Harry Potter." This is my result. It is a single page site, for the gallery, I used jQueery to implement the navigation and Thickbox.

Nomenclature Bath

Alan — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 20:09:18 +0000

This is the mock up I made for Nomenclature Bath's new website, We're still in the information gathering phase, but I'm really happy with how it has turned out so far. I plan to incorporate "Magento" with this design to offer a fully functioning shopping cart on the back-end. Should be a great learning experience.

Only For The Night Official Website

Alan — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 02:35:42 +0000

This one was tricky. Because the band bought the least expensive hosting they could find, I had to find a way to embed all of the content from the bands other sites; wordpress, flickr, youtube, twitter and imeem to help keep inline with bandwidth constraints. Overall I enjoyed the challenge and learned a lot, especially from the guys over at embedr.com. You can view the live site at onlyforthenight.net
