Custom WordPress theme design and implementation by yours truly.

Aside from writing all-around stellar html, css and js (duh!) for this application’s UI, my greatest contribution to the project was the creation of a custom, jQuery layout-building widget. This widget is much more fun to play with than explain: launch it!

A web-application that leans heavily on jQuery? How fun! (And yes, coding out this application was fun, indeed.) Read more about the project over at Emmis Interactive.

Coding out the UI for a rich application that lives on hundreds (potentially thousands!) of client sites — all with their own designs and code-bases, of course — is never an easy task. But anticipating coding gotchas and coming up with bulletproof code is my job and I love it! Guidable certainly presented its own unique coding challenges, but the end result speaks for itself. Feel free to check out some live examples over at Emmis Interactive!

Design instructions were as follows: “[the client wants] something that is more in line with current web 2.0 standards—full screen that fits varying browser sizes, (regardless of settings), catchy homepage … user should see who and what they are within 20 seconds of viewing the site.”

My job was to fully design the site and then code out its framework, basic styling and sample content such that the client could easily and efficiently do their content build out. Several styling considerations were made, of note mirroring styling for both text- and image-based headings (knowing the client would be building out 14 chapters’ worth of information after all, although image-based headings were preferred).

It’s always interesting to see how closely a client is able to follow the coding practices you’ve put into place. Overall, APIC has done a lovely job!

Another custom WordPress theme. (I love WP, I truly do!) For this project, my primary objectives were to:

1. Provide a clean layout with several dynamic, easily-adminable areas and to
2. Ensure the suite of plugins selected by the client would easily integrate into the theme without breaking styling.

Highlights of this theme include three dynamic sidebars and significant use of custom fields to determine special handling of various posts and pages.

Admittedly over-divved and host to a handful of minor cross-browser issues, the TAC website was my first foray into a full div- and grid-based site design. I will always hold a special affinity for the TAC site as it marks one of my first larger-scale “professional” endeavours.
