Though deadline and budget (but mostly Internet Explorer 6) necessitated a hack or two (or three or…), this is almost certainly the leanest, prettiest code I’ve ever produced for a project of this scale. Nobody except web-folk understand, but the code behind this site is, on average, only 20% of the weight of their previous incarnation while incorporating much more content per page.

Here’s what I’ve been doing for the last couple of weeks… making websites! Surprise, surprise, surprise! Anyhow, here’s a couple of things that launched recently. The first is a brand spanking new site; the second is a long overdue redesign.

A site promoting a documentary about legendary baseball pitcher Bill Lee, aka The Spaceman.

A site for a one-of-a-kind awards show honoring the best of the great in the field of celebrity impersonation.

Here’s what I’ve been up to lately.

Le Québécois All Natural Grain-fed Veal • Le Québécois calves are raised on a natural diet of corn, whole grains, milk-formula, and fresh water.

Here’s a new website I designed & built recently for a “Chambergrass” duo called Die Fledermaus, featuring Ben Newton on banjo and/or ukulele and Dan Yost on guitar and/or piano (with micellaneous other instruments tossed into the mix here and there). It’s not entirely done yet, but it’s getting close so check it out!
