A customized Wordpress template with a bunch of added features. This project involved a lot of graphic design.

This was an especially cool project. The basic layout of the site remains the same throughout, but the formatting of each page within that template varies a lot. Between the versatile design and the animated images, we had a lot of fun with this. The site's pretty much all PHP, with a MySQL database and small CMS.

We built this blog with Wordpress, but a lot of custom functions had to be added to the site and incorporated into the CMS. Each author's archive page has a pic and bio at the top and each category archive page displays five features, just to name a couple.

This is an eCommerce site with countless databases and a custom CMS. We built everything from scratch, from the customer login to the shopping cart to the admin interface.

The Other War

The front-end of this site is pretty basic--an HTML image map with some JavaScript rollovers. When you drag the mouse across one of the red bars, the flag changes into a striped screenshot from the movie. We also made a CMS so screening dates and other info could be added to the site.

A very simple site. Mostly HTML, with a little JavaScript to make sure the videos didn't pop up outside the purple box.
