Congratulations, Josh. That’s some awesome exposure.
Here’s a site I designed (developed by Dan Nixon and Matt Mayers) that is super bad-ass. One of the really interesting features is the header. It is designed to change as per the time of day (right now looks especially cool cause it’s dark). It also will change to show the weather, yes - rain snow sleet and hail. Okay, maybe not sleet and hail exactly but rain, snow and sun for sure. The header also incorporates a rotating billboard with a picture of the day. Matt and Dan rigged up a super cool app that attaches photo’s geocode and places them on a map so one can see where the photos were shot, pure awesomeness.
I’m really happy with how this one turned out. Another great design concept by Josh, and all the credit goes to Matt for the kick ass photo maps.
For anyone interested in the gory details of my front end work, I’m really enjoying marking up sites with HTML 5. The spec is changing so fast that even though I just finished this up a couple weeks ago, there are already things that I’d do differently (the recent redefinition of the <aside> element, in particular). Either way, it’s liberating to be able to use modern markup and CSS for a job every once in a while! rgba = rgbAWESOME.
I really liked doing this site. I also enjoyed using some of the newer features of the Wordpress API. I could get used to doing custom WP plugins for more projects going forward. I know there’s a lot of PHP hate in the Ruby community, but I think it’s a really powerful language in the right hands.
