Birth of a Website
After nearly ten years in the web industry i’ve managed to partially create over a dozen portfolio websites. However, my first actual personal site launched just this past soon and had after six months in the making it had a rather short shelf live.
And therein lies today’s birth of my new home on the “interweb.” A few notes about the production of this undertaking (a) first and foremost a big thank you to all who led a helping hand (b) secondly whomever gave me the idea that modifying a simple wordpress blog to suit my needs… gave bad advice. I dare go as far as to say that I “re-wrote” the system, but excluding design and integration I spent nearly forty (40) hours customizing the product to function as intended.
Lastly, all typical disclaimers apply (use Firefox not Internet Explorer). I’m of course not finish loading content and havent’ started authoring the case studies, there are a few bugs, and lastly if I didn’t credit you on a project you worked on it was an accident — please email me.

This site kicks arse my friend! Looks like yyou put a lot of work into the design and functionality, and it paid off.
I’ll be lurking here from now on.

I’d build it from scratch.
