my work

The following sections are a showcase of my front-end, back-end, and Wordpress work.

front-end web development

XHTML, CSS, Javascript

Front-end web development is the backbone of any website. It comprises the general layout, typography, and user interface of your website. Using Javascript can add another dimension to the user experience, like Flash, without sacrificing SEO and without any additional software to be installed.

Here you can find a showcase of some of the websites I've done front-end development for. None of these websites were designed by me, but all of them were hand-coded by me.
Most designs credited to M+BG

what is jQuery?

“jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript.” — jQuery.com

jQuery examples

These sites have an almost Flash feel to them, but without sacrificing any Search Engine Optimization.

back-end web development

php, sql, ajax

If front-end development is the backbone, back-end web development is the brain. Using these more advanced languages, you can make your site do anything in your imagination (just about.) Blogs, E-commerce, Sign-Up forms, and many other functions all require some amount of back-end development.

wordpress

Wordpess is a content management system (CMS) that primarily functions as a blog. However, with the use of some of Wordpress' Plugins and my own formulated PHP, you can take Wordpress into an entirely new dimension. It can be used to run and manage your entire website, and you can manage your site without the use of complicated code.

Below are some samples of the Wordpress work I've done.

What is Wordpress?

“WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time. More simply, WordPress is what you use when you want to work with your blogging software, not fight it.” — Wordpress.org
