TAPIO SCHNEIDER was a redesign of an existing site. The project was a collaboration with Purple Pen Productions and they supplied the design. I took the design and created the HTML and CSS. Purple Pen added the JavaScript functionality. It was an interesting site to work on and I enjoyed the challenges of making the site match the design.

IFCS Team USA is a website providing information to the agility community about the team representing the USA at the IFCS competition in 2012. In addition to providing information on qualifying for the current years competition, it also has details on past teams.

The website was designed using WordPress for it’s great content management capabilities. I’ll be taking advantage of several great plugins to add features to the site. For example competitors that are interested in trying out for the team will be allowed access to restricted sections of the site. There they will be able to record their results. This will allow the agility community to track their progress.

Analytics App

If you have a website, Google Analytics gives you a lot of useful website stats for free. You can see how many visitors you have had, how long they were on your site, how many pages they viewed, how they got to your site, what browser they used, where they are from, etc.

There are several iPhone apps that let you access that information on your phone. I tried out several of the apps in this category, but Analytics App was superior in my opinion. In addition, support is knowledgeable and responsive—always an important consideration.

Agile Paws Dog Sports

poppy — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 06:48:31 +0000

Agile Paws Dog Sports is a website I designed for my new Dog Training business. I was looking to highlight my dogs accomplishments and my experience.

I decided to use WordPress and the Amplify theme by Kriesi. The theme has a nice slide-show on the homepage and I liked the color scheme. I wanted something similar to my Agile Web Development site to tie the two together, but also a bit different to set them apart.

INRIX Traffic!

The native Google Maps app has traffic information and is very useful. However I’ve found Inrix Traffic! to be more accurate in most cases. I frequently check both apps to get a better idea what conditions might really be like to make decisions on my route.

It’s a free app, so you might want to give it a try. It does have a Pro upgrade, but I haven’t tried it yet. If I was commuting, I think the Pro version would be well worth the price for the nice features it includes.

Do you check traffic using the Google app or do you use another traffic app?

Goleta Valley Dog Club

poppy — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 02:53:30 +0000

I was contacted by the Goleta Valley Dog Club to take over for their webmaster of 10 years who was retiring. They are a very active club located in Goleta, CA that provides agility, obedience and rally classes in addition to weekly agility practices.

We discussed the project and decided to do a complete make-over of their old site. Their website used lots of photo’s to showcase their members accomplishments and were a very important element in the redesign. They also have frequent updates with class schedules, new titles, etc. WordPress would be a perfect fit for this project.

We decided on the Spotlight Theme created by Mateusz Hajdziony. It’s a lovely theme that features a nice image slideshow on the homepage along with photo galleries that would make a nice way to display photos of the members’ dogs.
