A few recent sites

Totokaelo

Totokaelo is an invite-only boutique and social networking site. It was designed by Strath Shephard, and I wrote the code in Ruby on Rails. The interface is very ajax-heavy, and the connectedness within the site was extremely complicated as most blog entries, users, and products can refer to each other. This site would have been a near-impossible task without Ruby on Rails. Send me an email if you want to explore the site, I can request an account for you.

Pulp Lab October Page

Pulp Lab, an innovative retail space and gallery, needed a quirky landing page for an October event. The landing page is no longer live, but you can see an archived version here. See the following entry for information about the rest of the site.

Evil Bunny

A mightly little creative agency with a penchant for the nautical needed a redesign. Drew Christie created the illustrations, we worked together on the design, and I coded it up.

Garrigan Lyman Group

Garrigan Lyman Group, a Seattle advertising agency, asked me to do the front-end development for their web page. The site needed to be coded cleanly for search engine optimization and for integration with a content management system (cms). The design needed to be totally separated from the content so that the site could be reskinned with minimal work. But because the site is the webpage for an interactive ad agency, the implentation couldn't stray very far from the design. I couldn't replace the Helvetica Neue font in the headers with a web font, but I couldn't use images for the headers either, due to the cms integration. I was able to use sIFR to have my cake and the designer's cake too.

Brand Upon The Brain

Greg Lachow, the producer of Guy Madden's new film Brand Upon The Brain asked me to design and develop a website for the film. The site needed to fit with the established aesthetic, be very accessible for search engines, and be easy to update. Most importantly, it needed to be up and running in a week in time for press about the live orchestrated and narrated performances of the film starting in May. I used blogger to create a blog about the live show that the producers can update on the fly. Brian Jones created a CMS so that the client could make easy updates.

Entellium

I was hired to do the front-end coding for this web site. The css made the gradient-heavy design a breeze. sIFR let us have both pretty fonts and easy updates.
