A sleek restaurant site template that uses the MooTools javascript library. The homepage has a slideshow that cycles through your ads (as many as you have). There is also a nice dynamic javascript menu along the bottom.

This portfolio is a stylish way to show off your work. Smooth animated transitions (fade in/out) take you from your portfolio categories to a gallery of your work. It was all implemented using the MooTools javascript framework.

This is a single level, horizontal, customizable XML menu that can be implemented with or without a copy of Flash. You can go with the default look and only define the menu item text and destination, or you can change several things in an XML file.

30 Meals In One Day Website

Don — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 17:04:27 +0000

This website advertises a system for cooking 30 meals in one day and then freezing them. When you want to eat, just reheat your meal! They sell cookbooks and software to teach you how to effectively do this.

What I Did

I helped design the look of some pages on this website, but I primarily worked on making the shopping cart work. After the client wanted more flexibility to edit the pages, I ported the website over to WordPress so that they now manage all the content on the site via the WordPress admin.

Pleasant Grove Library Website

Don — Sun, 18 Mar 2007 19:29:54 +0000

People go to this website to see what’s happening at the library, sign up for classes and events, and to check out and reserve books. The librarians can update their own content as well as setup programs and online registration

What I Did

I used xajax to build a simple content managment system. When the administrators are logged in, they can just click edit next to any entry and all of the text changes to editable fields. They can then click save, and everything is saved and it goes back to a non-editable view.

This same system also controls when posts should be displayed as well as program/class registrations.
