Some new sites which have been keeping me busy lately have recently launched :) I am currently looking for more web projects, so if you need help with a web site please drop me an email. My resume is posted here if you’re interested in learning more about my background.

Here are the sites:

Basikneads Catering, a catering company out in Virginia - www.basikneads.com

Basikneads Catering

Services provided include HTML / CSS / JS design integration, WordPress setup and customizations. Design was provided by Openbox9, a creative company out in Washington DC. Some behind the scenes highlights (which will probably only interest other developers):

  • Homepage slideshow — images load via a delayed ajax request, so as to not bog down the initial page load.
  • JavaScript / Canvas based font replacement — The headings are rendered with the Typeface.js library, a pretty neat font replacement library that doesn’t require the use of any flash. If browsers don’t support it, then it’ll get downgraded to a close serif font.

Before Project, non-profit organization dealing with conflict prevention – www.beforeproject.org

Before Project

Services provided include HTML / CSS / JS design integration, WordPress setup and customizations. Design was also provided by Openbox9. The site is relatively straight forward from a technical perspective, I added a couple WordPress customizations to help manage different elements of the site (eg random facts, customizable sidebar).

Newlife Church, a church in the Seattle area – www.newlifekitsap.com

Newlife Church

Services provided include HTML / CSS / JS design integration, WordPress setup and customizations. Design was provided in-house by Newlife. A couple neat features to highlight:

  • Rotating homepage features — I used the jQuery library to provide the animation on the front end, and coded a simple admin tool in their WordPress backend to allow them to easily add/replace features.
  • JavaScript + Flash media player — A small and simple player on the homepage to allow people to easily play a recent sermon message from one of their church campuses.

That’s all for now!

PS, follow me on Twitter ;)
