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 […]
MailChimp, a mass emailing solution, offers an API so that you can use to create native, fully customized sign-up forms on a website. I'm using this API with a little PHP for a client's newsletter sign up. Of course, MailChimp also offers their basic copy-and-paste forms as well as MailChimp-hosted forms, but you can't achieve […]
Just launched the redesigned (and re-developed) website for VillaHippoCampo, a luxury rental property located in southern France.
Just switched this site's commenting system over to disqus (from a previous custom built system). A little PHP allowed me to tailor their system to my site's needs (e.g., excluding it from certain pages). All in all, it was super easy. I then went ahead and imported the site's existing comments, which took a little […]

I created an "app" in Facebook which pulls content from their website and displays it on a new Facebook tab, which visitors to their Facebook page now see by default. To simplify their content management workload, the new tab […]

They wanted something that could be temporary, but immediately catch the eyes of their visitors. After discusisng the pros and cons of various options (e.g,. pop-up windows), […]

The Section 508 compliant website is built on a MySQL database, and uses PHP to retrieve the data […]
Design, developed, and launched Legal Providence's new website, a basic brochure-style site. The site is CMS-enabled with a MySQL database and uses HTML, CSS, PHP, and some JavaScript.
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 […]
Working on a new project that will allow users to compare some of the leading Federal budget deficit reduction plans. The data/plans will be presented in a table. Because of the great detail of data, users are initially presented with a collapsed table. I'm using jQuery to allow users to expand individual rows and columns. […]
