Billy often sends me a photoshop document of what the design should look like, along with some comments on areas where I can compromise certain design features, perhaps in certain versions of Internet Explorer. This was a challenging project because the design is very precise and there were no compromises allowed: The navigation menu had to feature the correct font, visual effects like rounded corners, drop-shadows, and transparency had to work in all browsers, and the various layers of the header design had to fit pixel perfect.

He brought me in to help implement his idea and it was a great chance for me to put into practice Adobe's Cold Fusion, a direct competitor of my native server-side language, php. The big achievement with this project was how we made a huge amount of data so flexible, so accessible, and so drop-dead simple for the admin user.
