TapBanana.com A really smooth iPhone Application website.
Launch

Project: Tap Banana

Client:Think Cobalt

This site was built with Wordpress for the company Think Cobalt. The Photoshop mockup was done by the folks at Think Cobalt. I realized the mockup as a Wordpress Theme and built two custom plugins for the site.

The two plugins that I built were for the products on the front page and the promotion plugin in the "Crack the Code" section.

The product plugin features a product management area in the administration panel. This plugin was built using Mootools to perform the animations. You can see this plugin in action on the front page of the site.

The plugin I built to run the "Crack the Code" section is called the promotion manager. It features a three page form for information collection and a management area for the promotional data and fields.

Browsers I tested in were, IE6/7/8, Fx2/3/3.5, Opera9, Google Chrome, and Safari. I tested on WXP, Mac OSX (Leopard), and Linux Ubuntu 8.04. These setups are all available to me on my home machine via the use of Virtual Machines.

Project: Newport Child Development Preschool

The existing site really needed some updating so I moved it over to the Drupal CMS allowing the client to better manage it's content. The existing design was converting into a Drupal theme.

We added a number of things to the site in addition to making the site wider in order to better fit today's larger screen resolutions. Some of the new features are the option to have a separate page for each of the classrooms. The rooms can upload photos and change their information at any time.

We also added a photo gallery for them to be able to add multiple albums to the site. The use of FCKEditor allows them to easily edit the content of course.

Launch

There are a number of different content types such as testimonials, news entries, as well as the standard Drupal Blog. I used the RSS feed parser to pull in his prweb feed into the press release section. I also wrote some custom code to pull in videos from his youtube account.

Project: Custom Buttons² Website

Client:Mozilla Addon Developers

This site has been a project that I have been continually developing and redesigning over the past 5 years.

The original site started as a simple phpBB2 installation which we quickly outgrew. We then moved to phpBB3 and migrated all buttons over to the new site in a proper custombuttons2.com domain.

From there we made a version of the site which integrated phpBB3 with Drupal 6, login integration was done and the sites were seemless. It included a Pastebin among other things.

Todays version is much more customized, it has custom forms for posting buttons in our database and sorted out alphabetical lists. The lists can be filtered by compatibility and other specifications. The site boasts issue tracking, a wiki, video tutorials and approximately 9 themes for users to choose from.
