Getting Creative with WordPress Custom Page Templates
| September 7, 2011 | Recent Projects, wordpressery |
Shocking Goat, a Seattle watch designer for whom I regularly work, is picking up steam. They have photographed a growing number of celebrities wearing their watches and were looking for a way to show them off. I was initially inspired by the FolioGrid premium WordPress theme, but in the end, my code is much different.… more
Betsy Barnum’s Reverie Studio
| August 11, 2011 | Recent Projects |
I love working with artists. It frees up the poorly developed right hemisphere of my brain so that I can devote 100% of my computational power to the CSS and server-side code. Betsy Barnum, in addition to being a personal friend, is the most talented painter I have ever worked with. more
AERAdventures.com
| July 18, 2011 | Recent Projects |
AER Adventures is a new tour operator here in Alaska, with operations also in the lower 48. They already had a great design on the wordpress platform when they approached me for some work; they just needed me to fix some layout bugs and integrate a few more features. more
Learning Javascript as a Second Language
| July 7, 2011 | Recent Projects |
I don’t really have a good explanation for it, but client-side scripting has always been so much harder for me to learn than server-side. Fortunately, for this project, I had an amazing design from Brad Bowen that was way too good for anything less than legit JS. more
UTU1626.org
| July 7, 2011 | Recent Projects |
The local chapter of the UTU 1626, of which I am a member, is currently using my platform for it’s blog. My blogging platform doesn’t come close to surpassing wordpress in any area, other than perhaps download size, but there are some solid design elements on the UTU site that I would like to point out. more

Dehydrated
| April 5, 2011 | Recent Projects |
I’ve been taking ski photos for the past five or six years. In fact, sharing ski photos with partners was the thing that first got me interested in learning more about building websites. I built Dehydrated, from scratch, as a database for all of my photos. more
Foraker Group CSS
| March 5, 2011 | Recent Projects |
The Foraker Group is the largest non-profit in Alaska. Their website has a ton of content and their new redesign had a lot of small details. Billy Finley of Couloir Graphics had me work on implementing the design. I began with a photoshop document from the designer–over 200 layers–and ended with standards-compliant html and css. more
Revelate Designs CSS
| February 5, 2011 | Filled under Recent Projects |
Revelatedesigns.com is a beautifully designed online store created by Billy Finley. He had me do the CSS. What’s exciting about this design is that it’s quite minimal, but the strong colors and exciting images still create a powerful impression. more
Coupon Code plugin for WordPress
| February 2, 2011 | Filled under Recent Projects |
Add, view, edit, export, delete. That’s the life-cycle for data in most applications, and most applications come equipped with a set of tools to manage that life-cycle. But what about scalability? What about dealing with thousands of pieces of data at once? A recent client, ShockingGoat.com, ran into a problem with this. They plan on selling thousands of watches in an upcoming Groupon campaign, but they needed a way to generate thousands of coupon codes in the correct format. I wrote them a wordpress plugin for this task. It’s largely based on the WP E-Commerce coupon system, but it’s more robust and works even if you don’t have WP E-Commerce installed. more
Foraker Group Salary & Benefits Survey
| January 5, 2011 | Filled under Recent Projects |
Data, data, and more data! I love data! Making it user friendly for users to enter data, verifying and storing the data in an effective way, helping administrators sort and manipulate the data–it’s all awesome and it’s all part of this project. Billy Finley of Couloirgraphics and I worked on the 2010 Foraker Group Salary and Benefits Survey. It consisted of 12 online forms, as well as a back-end so Foraker could browse and export the data. We wrote this application in ColdFusion, MySQL, and Spry. more
