We developed this simple, sleek, and straight-to-the-point website with Sean Herman, who designed the site. Our aim was to create a very accessible site for EMA, and help them display their company’s information with class and professionalism. The site was created using WordPress to allow for simple content changes.

I worked with Sean Herman to implement an online shop that allows users to choose their own price! The site was created using WordPress to make it easy to maintain and operate the online store.
The unique “Choose Your Own Price” online store allows users to enter their own price for surplus and defect items. Users can pay however much they think an item is worth, allowing savings for the customer, and a way to get rid of overstock items for Malcolm Fontier! The store was created using the WordPress Shopp plugin.

Karvt is the brainchild of Sean Herman and Kurt Barbee. Karvt’s incredibly popular Macbook, iPhone, and iPad skins have been selling like hotcakes and making everyone’s Mac products look even better! We helped Sean with the development side of things, working with the WordPress Shopp plugin to create a full-featured online shop!
The Karvt online shop allows on-site payment with any major credit card! The shop features an AJAX cart, and the option of inputting credit card info directly, or through Paypal’s website. The store tracks sales and offers shipping estimates based on Zip Code!

No CommentsIt’s hard to know where to begin when you’re buying your first book in an attempt to learn a new skill. Always make sure to buy the newest edition of any web design or development book you’re interested in, because times change and so do the best-practices for each language. There’s no such thing as a perfect book, so make sure to Google anything you don’t understand so you can find reference material to inform you. In many cases, this will allow you to get much more out of any book you read. There’s a wealth of great information out there, but it’s these 5 books that I found exceptional for beginners:
No CommentsI came across a pretty frustrating IE6 background bug a while ago and it took me a while to figure out the surprisingly simply solution! Well, technically this isn’t a bug. It’s technically a user-error, but the code (albeit incorrect) works in most modern browsers! Take a look at the following code:
body { background: url('images/bg.jpg')top left #fff no-repeat; }
If you try this code in Safari or Firefox, it will work perfectly. You will see the background image positioned at the top left with no-repeat and with a white background. However, IE6 will render no background! Strange, no? Quite strange. The problem is the lack of a whitespace character between the background url and the position declarations. I became so used to Firefox and Safari’s lax handling of this code that it took me forever to figure out that one little space was causing all of my problems! The following code fixes the problem:
body { background: url('images/bg.jpg') top left #fff no-repeat; }
Hopefully this post will save someone some frustration!
