Web Development

History

Started web development in 1994 using a simple text editor and still write all code by hand in code view. Developing sites that work across multiple platforms, browsers, and devices as well as being accessible is a part of every new/rebuild site project I work on. Developing primarily with DIV and CSS and using JavaScript, ASP, PHP, databases, and Flash where needed for functionality. I also work with other designers/developers on specific components of web sites. Below are some examples of recent projects.

Projects

  A jQuery based slideshow that automatically plays till the end, then returns to the first slide. Slideshow will stop if the back/forward buttons are clicked on. (www)

  The World Federation of Investors Corporations is an independent, not-for-profit organization whose members are primarily national shareholders' associations. I did not design this site, but did develop several elements and add functionality to it based on client's needs. My involvement included; a script for logging in and cookie detection, to migrate old database info to new database, and to create admin pages to manage members. (www)
