Building off the Interactive SVG USA Map package offered on Code Canyon, I developed and implemented a scalable USA map for the Bold Approach website. Improving on the original code package, I converted the package to work as a jQuery plugin to simplify instantiation and allow mulitple maps of different dimensions with minimal configuration.
Put together some jQuery, PHP, and mySQL to create an AJAX pagination system for the signatories on DebateTheDebt.org. I then applied it to Twitter Bootstrap's default pagination markup. (Wouldn't it be nice if the T-BS guys added something like this to the JS components?) UPDATE: I also added this to ReadyNation.org. In this instance, I tweaked […]
Wow, to think that IE7, followed by IE6, were the most popular browsers when I was first enlisted on this project! Nearly five years later, after many starts, stops, and re-starts as the content was refined, InvestigatingPower.org is live. I can't imagine many other projects that could have maintained my interest and dedication like this […]
Although it seems a little late in the game, CRFB had me launch a new tool that allows you to compare the budget plans of the leading presidential candidates. I suspect they'll add President Obama's plan soon enough. The site is clearly a rendition of the deficit reduction plan comparisison tool that I designed and […]
Previously, I set up a form to automatically look up someone's congressional district and legislator by a provided ZIP code. It used the Sunlight Labs API along with a PHP class. The problem was that a given ZIP code can have multiple congressional districts. To further complicate matters, the Sunlight Labs data doesn't have the […]
Building out a little enhancement to a sign-up form that provides users with a list of their likely congressmen based on their supplied zip code. I'm using Sunlight Labs API, along with a third-party PHP library, to retrieve the results. The form fires a jQuery-based AJAX call as soon as the person enters their full […]
Just launched the redesigned (and re-developed) website for VillaHippoCampo, a luxury rental property located in southern France.
In the middle of converting a client's old, Flash-only site (aka a site that doesn't work on iPhones and iPad) to a HTML/CSS based site. Converting the formerly ActionScript-powered form by using Twitter's Bootcamp CSS framework and a custom javascript (mostly jQuery) script for validation. UPDATE: view the case study
Launched a new version of the NDTAC's Fast Facts website, which presents data and data visualizations of State education data from the Federal Title I, Part D program for youth who are neglected, delinquent, or at risk. The Section 508 compliant website is built on a MySQL database, and uses PHP to retrieve the data […]
CRFB's Deficit Reduction Plan Comparison Tool has been launched. This quick turn around project was completed on a part time basis in about 3 weeks. It relies upon jQuery to expand and contract the various rows and columns in the table. The entire tool is dynamic and connected to a CMS, which allows editors to […]
