Another Micro Site Template

Created another template for the new tool based on Joomla, keeping the hawaiian theme, but giving a mre professional look and feel than the other template. Again a bit of a pain getting IE 6 to work properly. Can’t wait till that app is done with.

This design came out alright considering I did it all in 10 hours form concept -> template -> implementation. Seems like the customer likes it. Next up a left side navigation version, although I will most likely delegate it to one of the guys inthe shop because I’m kind of bored with Joomla templates.

New Microsite

Designed a new micro site tool with Joomla as the back end for the Hawaii Convention Center. A co-worker and I had to spend hours making this thing IE6 compatible. Hey Microsoft, when are you going to stop supporting such a crappy, non-standard browser?

Cool thing about this new tool I coded and implemented for the Hawaii Convention Center through Digital Mediums is that a website, with 8 language support, Google Analytics, hex color template change, and a bunch more goodies can be installed, implemented and ready to go in about 45 seconds. We wrote a little tool that will give them the ability to create multiple sites in about the same amount of time and allow them to shoose from a specific template or from a previously configured one. All in all, this will save a ton of time on our end == more profit.

Man, if I didn’t have kids, I would definitely take this up, this is amazing stuff. Not flash or flex, although vimeo is a pretty slick HD player done with flash, but definitely looks like fun!!!

This is a pretty slick photoshop alternative done in flex. Impressed with what it does, but the performance at which it does it rocks! This app does a good job in showing off what Flex can do if used properly. Would be nice to see this ported as an AIR app.

I’ve played around with this and it compares to any of the photoshop alternatives out there like Photoshop Elements, Slashiup and the such. Maybe one day when I have time I’ll write something like this.
