I got my site template into a working form today and now I can actually start the enhancements. I am planning on some sweet jQuery powered fun, and maybe attempting to write a Wordpress plugin or two, which I will post here. Also, I think some icons and background images are in order. I like the stark black look that is here currently, but I think a bit more detail and subtlety would work well.

Next on the agenda:

1. Finish (and start) runwithitdesign.com

2. Create a logo and post some of my newer logos here

3. Get some sleep

Though I can’t take credit for the entire site, nearly everything within the confines of the content areas throughout the site has been redesigned by me. The entire site also had to be moved from a template built with tables onto a new XHTML/CSS template designed by me when I first started.

Recently, Joan from CookingThyme Portland approached me about creating a site to promote cooking classes that she is teaching out of her home. I pushed integration with pre-existing services to give her a site that was quick to produce, and utilized Google Calendar, PayPal, and Flickr to provide the services she needed.

In my current position at Portland Bolt & Manufacturing, I have been lucky enough to have the freedom to create and update several sites. F1554 Anchor Bolts is the first Portland Bolt informational microsite. This site was created over a couple of weeks in mid 2008 while I was figuring out PHP.

Part of the rebranding of the Wulapalooza festival was to create a website to promote the festival. Were I to do it today, I would definitely get them set up with a CMS like wordpress. The current site has gone through a few coders, so I can no longer vouch for the cleanliness of the code.

The Malaysia Singapore Brunei Studies Group (MSB) asked me to do a website for them shortly before I graduated college in 2007. I am not sure how it has withstood the test of time since then, but it is still online and the design is intact.

Another small site that I made for a client. Going back to these sites really makes me realize how far I’ve come. A Wordpress install would have made development a lot smoother for this site, but for a quick job, I think it turned out alright.
