Five Bridge Inn
I redesigned Five Bridge Inn's web site because the owners were looking for an upgrade to their existing site where they could garner better search results and host many photographs.
I replaced the old site's structure of tables and frame sets with lean XHTML and CSS that is portable and loads quickly.
The design of the site welcomes visitors with a blend of traditional New England color, a feel for the decor of the house, and plenty of photographs that showcase the property.

Altus Group
I coded the Altus Group web site with a few things in mind: accessibility, portability, and expandability. The site is complete with accesskeys for all navigation, php for back-end logic, and semantically displayed with XHTML and CSS.

Unladen Swallow
unladenswallow.com is a pet site of mine. Some time ago I was working with some fish-eye javascript effects, and that evolved into a recreation of the Mac OS X Dock.
Written in very lean XHTML mark up and then dynamically rewritten with javascript, I use the web site to host the Javascript Dock and offer a few links to friends' web sites.

pennypacker.net - Yellow Version
My current site design replaces the Yellow Site, which was less dynamic. I'm still very happy with the look and function of the previous site, but I wanted something new both visually and structurally.
I am particularly fond of the javascript and CSS that went into the previous gallery pages, and I still chuckle when I reminisce about the Bad Santas that I made for a Providence Journal Photoshop Contest.

Clubhouse54 Forum Theme
It was about time to give a facelift to the phpbb forum that powers clubhouse54.com, so I redid the default theme for the forum.
I was after a cleaner look that updated the old default theme and incorporated a few modern web design trends. I wanted to challenge the standard message board interface and decided to put the user information on the top instead of on the side, and overlapping the avatar image helps to unify the content.
I also took a few cues from the interface Mac OS X's Dashboard. After working on Hula Girl and fcXHTML Reference, I picked up a fun trick that works in Safari and Firefox that nicely styles the pulldowns without interfering with their functionality.
