This website was done to feature & promote two new Sesame Street videogames (Cookie's Counting Carnival & Elmo's A-to-Z Adventure) that will be released October 2010 for the Wii, Nintendo DS & PC. On this project I played a huge role in the build out of the comps (web designs). Since it doesn't run on a CMS of any kind, that really is all there was to it. It was a very straight forward project and a nice one to be involved in.

This project was for the USA Network and was a real fun project to be a part of! All the designs were given to us and my job was to code out all the front end stuff and then put the site into Movable Type. Everything on this project went exactly as you dream it would. I consider it a big success.

People of Walmart
Company: Riser Media
Engine: Wordpress

For this project I was in charge of the front end build and WordPress integration. I also built a couple of custom WordPress plugins to help manage their content. One of the plugins helped users submit content and allowed moderators to reject or schedule submissions to be upcoming posts. Submitted photos could be re-sized, cropped and watermarked. The second plugin gave them the ability to schedule background images (with sunrise and sunset dates) and make them linkable for advertising purposes. Due to the extremely high traffic this site receives it added an extra bit of spice that made this one fun project to work on.

Ken Garff: Keys to Success

For this project I was hired only to do the front end build (xhtml/css). This is one site I am particularly proud of because of the amount of detail that is involved in the design. All the textures and layers add a level of difficulty that I absolutely love to tackle to see if I can make them "pixel perfect".

Fox Movie Channel
Company: Riser Media

This is by far one of the most challenging projects I've been a part of. Together with the team at Riser Media I helped to build out this website. There are so many different aspects of this project I had "my hands in" that truthfully I don't even know where to begin. I did the front end build (xhtml/css) which for me was very difficult because of all the textures in the design. I also integrated the site into Movable Type, worked on a lot of the JavaScript effects and did a lot of custom programming to manage all their content. The project was tough but when all is said and done I feel it was a success and a huge improvement to their web presence.

This is one project I was really excited to be a part of. The TV show Legend of the Seeker hired us at Riser Media to completely re-build their site (design, code, the works). I was in charge of doing all the xHTML/CSS and JavaScript effects. What made this site a little challenging was the tight deadline we had (it was only about 3 weeks from design to delivery) and the fact that their servers have absolutely no server side language support (sick, I know). It was weird having to program everything in straight HTML again since I hadn't done that in years but the end result still come out amazing in my opinion. What a great project and client to work with.

Kickette

I was contacted in July of 2009 to convert the popular soccer/football site Kickette from Expression Engine to WordPress. Normally converting sites is pretty straightforward but this particular site had over 10,000+ posts. That's a lot of data to move! After getting the bulk of all the work done I then passed the project off to some other developers to finish up. All in all it was a good project. Kickette brands itself as the authority on soccer/football gossip, news and fashion. Written from a female perspective, Kickette is the first and largest dedicated site for female soccer fans.

US Synthetic hired us at Riser Media to rebuild all their sites (US Synthetic, Brady Mining, Suncrest Diamonds, Sundance Diamonds, USS Wire Die and US Bearings). I built out the xHTML/CSS for all six of these sites and integrated them all into the same instance of Expression Engine so they could manage each site from the same location. It was a very fun project and the people at US Synthetic are just the easiest people to work with ever. The whole project was a major success.

When the company that I work for decided to change its name from Jandaco to Riser Media we completely rebuilt our website to match the new brand. Today this is still one of my top favorite sites I've worked on. I just love the look of it and how effective it is at transmitting our company's image.

This was the very first project I ever did in Movable Type. At first it worked great but due to scalability issues I ended up converting the site to WordPress. To this day I am very pleased with the way it turned out. I love the design and the custom plugin I built to manage their library files. The reason I like the plugin so much is because it was one of the first custom plugin's I built in WordPress and it still works great today.

Hooking Up
Company: Riser Media
Engine: Movable Type
This project was done for HBOlab a.k.a. Runawaybox and was the first project I worked on at Riser Media. At the time HBOlab was a part of HBO but the company has since been purchased by Break Media. The site was made to host an internet tv series called Hooking Up. The concept was to take a bunch of YouTube "celebrities" and make a show with all of them in it. The site was only up a couple of months before HBO pulled the plug on this experiment.
