one little cog

In between work, school and all the other stuff I do, I just finished coding a friend’s website.  She is an amazing graphic designer and I encourage everyone to check out her work.  When she asked me to code her website, I was honoured to help showcase her work.  The design of it was pretty much her idea … she simply asked me what was possible and watched as I flinched or scowled as I listened to all the minute details involved — she is a graphic designer after all!  I just knew what was painful and what was not

Overall the website was not complicated to code.  I only wish CSS wasn’t such a pain to configure as all the web browsers out there seem to have their own quirky personalities for interpreting CSS.  In some cases, I am forced to make compromises.  At the moment the rollovers are just javascript, but I hope to switch them over to pure CSS rollovers in the near future for efficiency’s sake.  I also implemented Lightbox 2 into the website with a little editing in the javascript and CSS files in order to modify some tiny details to Carolyn’s specifications.  The only browser where I think this may cause an issue would be the infamous Internet Explorer 6 that is horrible at supporting standardized code.  Let me know what you think!

Site:  XHTML, CSS, Javascript
