- Adobe Business Catalyst, html, css and javascript
Afexa required a redesign of their corporate website and requested that the new site be built on the Business Catalyst platform.
Having no prior experience with Business Catalyst, I spent a few days familiarizing myself with the software. I took the new design and built a rough site outside of Business Catalyst. I needed to ensure my code was easy to break apart into various components. I then started to utilize the built-in modules and was able to create the necessary templates and various functionalities (e.g. navigation, posts and pages).
The bulk of the pages were completed prior to my departure in December 2010. The site launced in April 2011. Changes included using a mirrored site to pull in news feeds and adding a newsletter subscription form and ads
‘Squished’ Microblog

- Concept and web design, photoshop, illustrator, php, MySQL, xhtml and css programming
Blogs have really gained popularity over the years. As our lives get busier, we do not always attempt to share our thoughts in complete sentences anymore. Our assignment was to create a microblog. Microblogging is a form of blogging, but consists of no more than 140 characters, which is how I came up with the name ‘Squished’ for my site.
From a programming perspective, the intial requirements for this project was simple. I took it a step further and implemented a registration for new users. Once you are a member, you are given your own page for posting your own Squished thoughts.

- Concept and web design, photoshop, hotgloo, xhtml and css
Our families enjoy hearing about our trips and our friends that are planning trips to places we have visited want to know what they can expect. This travel site provides first hand experiences and other useful tips.
This was my first full website. It was created strictly using XHTML and CSS; however, to maintain this site style (content-heavy), it would be easier with text files and some PHP. Some interesting elements within the site include tab-styled navigation using Photoshop and CSS, maps with hotspots and image galleries using a jQuery plugin.
