Digitech Web-Dev 1.2
Digitech Web-Dev, I do a lot of work with and for them, this design was developed by myself and Roger Cram using an interesting and to my knowledge unique system of CSS/Javascript/HTML to create the effect of a frameset without using one (article coming soon). Digitech Web-Dev is a web development business striving to be the best we can be and the best in the Portland / Southwest Victoria area.
Digitech 2.1
Parent business of Digitech Web-Dev with almost exactly the same design for conformity for design (a rule I try to take very seriously). Digitech is A local Portland Computers and Accessories business dedicated to bringing the best parts and systems at the lowest prices with the best service.
Keppel Prince Engineering 1.0
Keppel Prince Engineering are a local Portland firm who specialise in industrial fabrication, contstruction and maintenance fields with backup services such as crane hire, machining and protective coatings. Roger Cram and myself collaborated to design and construct this site for them. He did most of the content, I did most of the backend code, and we both worked on the design. I am rather proud of it myself.
The After Image of BtVS 2.0 (offline)
This was the first redesign I did on my very first webpage after I began to grasp the concepts of design and proper layout. It is one of the few early designs I can look back on and not cringe at.
The After Image of BtVS 5.0 (offline)
The After Image went through a number of designs that I got scrapped before they ever made it onto the web with this one being the very first on since 2.0 that I felt suited it. I began playing around with CGI programs and interactivity for the site with this version, albite with freeware apps I modified to suit my needs. I have currently closed The After Image due to a lack of interest... It might be back, heck it has died before!
Forgotten Hearts 1.4
A website I designed and maintain for a mailing list I'm a member of. Forgotten Hearts was and is something small that is fun to work on without needing massive weekly updates. I'm not as happy with the design as I used to be but I still like it ;-)
Sacrificing Normalcy 1.2
Yet another Buffy fan fiction website I designed. This one is fairly different from my regular style. I run it in concert with Pat Kelly who keeps me inline and makes sure I keep it updated :-)
The Realm of Indra 1.2
My showcase site was another first for me. It was the first time I used a complex system of tables and menus for a site. I also enjoyed learning how to automatically update the side content features across the entire site without editing each page individually.
High End Games 1.2
A basic design with some really non-basic coding :-) The first site to go on-line using PHP. The backend code isn't crash hot, I've since moved on to much more interesting stuff.
Only a Paper Moon 2.1 (offline)
I love this design, this is just the HTML mock up, I'll put up a image of the PHP design later on when I install apache somewhere again. Its site that Ben and I worked on a long while ago, this site was suppose to be a new life for it. But I got bored and some other stuff came up.
Out of Order 4.0 (offline)
I worked on this site for a number of years with Ben and Megan. I didn't have much to do with the design, but it was still a good experience.
dfp2p.net 2.3
An off-again, on-again site. Currently in its on-again phase, it was started as a project between myself and General Smirnov in July 2002 when speculation was ripe about Datafast's then new plans, p2p was the buzz word. It never eventuated of course, but still, I hung onto the domain and when EFtel took over and introduced p2p for the new plans it was given a rebirth, currently the backend is my plaything, I'm always poking and prodding looking to make the PHP better :)
in relation to darkness 1.0 (offline)
My first design of IRD. It started off with a splash image of a moon contrasting half and half. However in the end this never went online as I didn't really feel it suited me.
in relation to darkness 2.0 (offline)
This is one of my all time favourite sites. I got a lot of enjoyment from working with this site. The contrast of light and dark came alive for me the very first time I started work on this site.
The only reason I didn't keep it for my portal was that I couldn't find a way to 'port it down to 800x600 resolution without destroying its style and sensuality.
in relation to darkness 3.0 (offline)
For all the love and joy I hold for this site it never went online. I had so much fun working something I had never done or seen before. I really enjoyed it's uniqueness and I was tempted to have it as home but decided against it was that I couldn't find a way to place it inside frames for the portfolio section.
in relation to darkness 5.2 (offline)
You may of noticed I skipped 4.0, well I did that for a simple reason it sucked :-) Anyway i got the idea for the frame layout from my friend Megan's site Mirrorball but added my own unique 'fleer' to it. It was the home to IRDWEB.net for over a year, until this design (v8) supplanted it.
in relation to darkness 8.0
Well here you are. Again I skipped a number of versions that i just couldn't make work. This is my very first site done with a layout completely in CSS, no tables at all, no frames, no WYSIWYG has even touched it (something I haven't done for a long while) and its 100% HTML 4.01 Transitional Valid.
