Well, it’s finally done — this week’s challenge. This was something that I had to do for work. About one and a half days (probably less due to # of interruptions) from concept to final creation with lots of interruption and other issues (non-website related) to deal with at work. NO tables — only CSS although it was a pain getting IE 6 to work until I finally let it simply sit on the left hand side of the browser. From what I can tell so far, Safari, IE7 and Firefox no problem. Only need to add a little form and it’s finito! Have another one coming up soon! According to warpedvisions.org’s ultimate flow chart concerning websites — this ranks as web 2.0 fluff — as it was meant to be. Let me know what you think.
Tools: Fireworks, Photoshop, XHTML, CSS

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!
