Web Design

"Welcome to my web site." said the spider to the fly.

I have built a wide variety of sites in my day. Some of them are personal projects launched just for fun. Check out the more recent ones for my most professional work.

2007

May: Mario Monsters Replaces the Mario Monster Compendium
A custom-built, database-driven PHP version of my old Mario site: the purpose was to make it easier to accept content from volunteers. No more translating Word documents into html!


2006

August: CIA Webmail
Based on the Horde/Imp infrastructure, I customized the interface of this webmail site to suit our needs using only the templates and themes files. This should allow us to apply updates from the Open Source code base easily.


2005

November: CIA.com
I worked on html and Javascript for this site, as well as some Java components. Most recently, we retrofitted it for sales to the United States.


 

September: 3web/CIA Gateway
I built this site on my own using Java and JSP. It's due to be refreshed using our new CIA brand.


2004

September: My Account Site
This is the first new project that I had a big hand in at my current workplace: an account management system for 3web customers. I implemented the design in stylesheets and html and I also worked on some of the Java functionality.


2003

CGPC New Design September: The Canadian Gas Potential Committee Site is Revisited
The Canadian Gas Potential Committee wanted the site redesigned to attract new visitors. I was allowed to experiment with CSS positioning on this version.


Mockup February: David makes a Mockup Database Site
This site is not actually available online, but you can see a larger version of the design. This was my first experiment with database-driven sites and it was very promising.


2002

May: The Monkey Grove Becomes the New Home of David's Art.
I wanted to get serious about my illustrations, and I decided that I needed to move my art portfolio to the new, advertisement-free domain name in order to do so. I came up with a new design while I was at it!


2001

Gas CommitteeJuly-August: David builds a site for The Canadian Gas Potential Committee.
I designed a website for this non-profit organization that specializes in measuring possible natural gas reserves in Canada. I continue to maintain the site on an occasional basis.

May: The World of Dave Unites David's Sites and Interests.
This is the very site you are visiting, which was redesigned and launched in May of 2001. It was originally called The Hub, but has since been upgraded to it's very own domain name, with a new title and new content as well.

January-April: WinterSoft Builds a Software Application
A software engineering class in the same semester had me in a team of 12 people building a piece of software that was supposed to allow students to schedule classes. I was the webmaster for the project, commanding a collection of gigantic html documents.


2000

No new projects this year.


1999

May: The Super Mario Bros Monster Compendium
A fan site dedicated to Nintendo's Super Mario games was my second "big" project. It is still alive and well today. In fact it attracted some volunteers and has been overhauled into a PHP/MySQL site (see 2007).


1998

July: David Joins the TelevisionCity Community Leaders
I did not design the above web site, but I have contributed to it. It is part of an on-line volunteer group which was once sponsored by Geocities. When Yahoo! bought Geocities, they stopped supporting the Community Leaders and the site was eventually forced to shut down, but I had a lot of fun while I was working here. I was my class valedictorian, as evidenced by my lovely diplomas.

See?Proof!

1997

July: SuperVillain Central Invades the Web
My first "successful" project, this is a personal page dedicated to villains from cartoon shows. The site is still in the works today, although it has not been updated in some time.


1996

Summer: The Plok Page is Born!
The site which I used to learn html, this little project was a fan site for a video game called Plok. The site only lasted for a few months.
