Services

I am a freelance web developer, working primarily with PHP, MySQL, jQuery, HTML, and CSS. I also manage Debian servers. I love a challenge, and really enjoy solving problems. Contact me.

I started building websites in the late 1990s for fun, after working at the helpdesk for the local University.

GalaCollider

GalaCollider is a project that I've joined recently, as the web developer. It is a fusion of 4X and card games into one, with a planned early release for the fall of 2015. Learn about the game.

The site is built on WordPress with a purchased theme; though the theme has required many tweaks and improvements, the shell is still there. See portfolio page.

Eventually the website and the game will be linked to keep user accounts up-to-date seemlessly.

Blooming Quill Redesign

The Blooming Quill has been updated with a new design. Jessica has designed this site.

This was the first time I've built a theme with the mobile first technique. It was a bit of a challenge to think "backward" from my normal thought process. It was fun, and turned out very nicely I think. In the end it does seem easier to add in features rather than take them away.

Gilded Quill Reimagined

Another website has been completed - The Gilded Quill (learn more). This site is for a calligrapher with wonderful work. The old site hadn't been redesigned in several years and was looking dated. The new design by Jessica looks great. The store has also been incorportated with the rest of the site, driving more traffic to one URL and improving the SEO.

Rhythm & Beyond site build

Recently I completed the setup of a new WordPress site. Using the old theme as a baseline, I was able to bring in new elements improving the layout. The old site was built in Joomla, which was not a good fit for the client.

IAMPETH Membership Site

Recently members.iampeth.com went live. I've been working on this site since November - creating custom modules to handle memberships and the convention registration.

One problem we ran into was the password reset page with the addressfield module. The addressfield module has an ajax country selection, which changes the address fields if necessary. But this refreshes the data for the form, which stopped users from being able to change their password and fill in their address at the same time. To fix this, I used a little trick:
