Bugbottle Web Design

A database-driven website (PHP, MySQL, CSS and Javascript) that is not only-cross-browser compatible but is also set up to work with the next generation of handheld devices (those that support handheld stylesheets). Highlights include:

• The flexible front page, which uses floating boxes around the outside to fill available space on the right or drop down below, depending on the screen resolution.
• Two product catalogs, made from scratch: the Clearance Center catalog, and a more complex catalog for new products - not yet live - that features a favorites sytem and a comparison tool. This second catalog will draw its product data from the SQL database used by Microsoft Business Solutions 8.
• The "Showroom Gallery".
• Feature pages and tools such as "Better Laundry" and "Who Makes What".
• Things you can't see: catalog admin tools, my own site visitor tracking system and the internal website.

 

A complex database-driven site for athletes to post their resumes and coaches to search them, commissioned by a former pro hockey player. Built with PHP, MySQL, CSS and Javascript.

A special challenge was the display of football statistics, solved with some hair-raising PHP. Another special feature you can see on the search results page is the "resume completeness meter", which graphically shows the percent of questions the athlete answered.

A site focusing on the musical exploits of Richard Hinrichsen, mathematician / musician / composer, who organized a Feb. 2006 benefit concert for the Lifelong Aids Alliance. A sleek, simple grayscale design helps to highlight the content and photos.

A site that presents Thai language classes, student travel services and cultural tours to Thailand.

A fun, multifaceted site for Thai learners of English which I created while living in northern Thailand. Ignoring the rule that a site should have a unified look, I gave every main section a different style. Highlights:

• The fun front page, that fakes static positioning without hacks.
• Javascript games such as the Indirect Speech Game and Deny It.
• The Haunted House, made the old-fashioned way with nine frames!
• The English of Love, a place for teenagers to express their devotion to their favorite pop stars.
