dorisasmith.com

After deciding that a web professional needs a professional looking site, I contracted with kieran king design* for the design of this site. While Kieran King (whose work I knew from Utility.com, where we both worked) designed the site, I produced it. I recently modified the design (ever so slightly), and re-produced it to pull it out of tables. Instead, this version relies upon (validated) XHTML and CSS.

webgeekstress.com

This is my personal site. I both designed and built it. While I'll never give a real designer a run for his or her money, I am pleased with the way it turned out. This site relies upon XHTML and CSS for its layout. It is also home to two (customized) blogs: Život v Cizine, which is powered by Blogger, and Commonplace Book, which was created in WordPress.

eMeter

eMeter is a software products and implementation services company serving the utility market place. I was a subcontractor on this; the design and overall responsibility belongs to kieran king design*. As with most the other sites that I have recently built, this one does not depend upon tables for layout, but is strictly XHTML and CSS. I created "print page" and "email page" functionality in PHP; most other sites that include such functionality rely upon Javascript, but I wanted functions that would work even with Javascript disabled.

YogaRider

"YogaRider is a complete system of training the rider, and through the rider, the horse." I built, but did not design, this one.

The Aversions

"A cross between X and the Sex Pistols at their whip-cracking best, The Aversions ungracefully descend from The Avengers, The Ramones, Social D, The Clash, The Adolescents, Stiff Little Fingers." I built, but did not design this one.

Mercy Center

I volunteered to serve as web developer of theMercy Center, an international spirituality and conference center in Burlingame, CA (home page). The site was badly in need of updating at the time. I also redesigned site, streamlining the navigation and designing and creating new graphic motif.

Mercy Center has a group of meditators, who wanted their own site (home page), which I also designed.

A special retreat that Mercy Center was sponsoring, The Cave of the Heart (home page), also called for its own site.
