Each of these projects was designed by the team's graphic designers. I then worked (often as part of a team) to develop the website from a Photoshop file detailing styling and functionality. ColdFusion was used to integrate each site's template with a CMS developed by the team for use by their clients.
- Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art - http://artmuseum.usu.edu
- This site involved a lot of JavaScript (specifically jQuery) coding to get the banner to function the way the designers envisioned. The banner not only rotates through a set of images, but a layover with a full version of the photo and a longer description appears when the link in the description box is clicked.
- School of Teacher Education and Leadership - http://teal.usu.edu
- The design for this site included a lot of intricate background images which need to be dynamic according to the different kinds of content included. A lot of time was spent studying how images react in each browser and making the site compatible. I gained a lot of experience using Photoshop while working on this project.
- StrongerMarriage.org - http://strongermarriage.org
- Although the design for this site is fairly simple and straight-forward, each page contains multiple sections that each include dynamic data from multiple databases (each of which also includes an interface for inputting data within the CMS).
Projects as Freelance Programmer:
- Liesel Renae Photography - http://www.lieselrenae.com
- A local photographer just starting her business hired me to design and code the template for this blog. She uses it as her business's marketing website, so I focused on a clean and simple design that would emphasize the photographs as well as provide pricing and contact information.
- 10000 Maps - http://10000maps.com
- This was a team-based GIS project started by a small, local business. I was brought into the project to add JavaScript to the site, principally to enable the stacking of layers as users create different maps. I also helped to improve the style of the interface using CSS.
