April 2009
Site address: Minerva Innovations
In one of those strange quirks of fate one of my first Drupal customers was Diana Ng. Better known around Surrey as the Labyrinth Lady, she needed a place to coordinate all the things that she was doing with Labyrinths. So part blog and part bruchure pages she has used the site as a platform to showcase not only her efforts in building a labyrinth in Surrey but to highlight her facilitation skills and other matters.
Site address: Northern Saskatchewan Tourism
Once I thought I would be a web writer and while I still do a bit of writing most of my work these days is technical and theme related. My introduction to complex sites came as a writer for Northern Saskatchewan Toursim. I can't be held responsible for the layout or theming of this site as it conformed to standards set by Tourism Saskatchewan. Seven years later though - the writing still stands.
Site address: Purcell Mountain Lodge
As team leader with a WSI partnership first I rebuilt this site 2003. In the fall of 2005 I rebuilt the site - completely. And then in 2007 I built the site again - in Drupal - not substantially changing the site from its look and feel in the custom ASP system from the second rebuild but adding an incredible range of features.
Site address: PMC-Sierra
When I heard about the PMC- Sierra work I was intimidated by the sheer size of the project. It wasn't until I went for my "technical interview" with them that I realized I would be part of a team reskinning 2500 pages of website. Working in a largely Unix environment I brought my familiarity and skill with CSS to bear. Moving the site to valid W3C standards, developing a detailed testing plan, as well as doing the housecleaning on major sections of unused site (identifying 3,500 files for deletion) were major achievments while I was working with the team.
Site address: G and G Golf Company
G and G sells golf accessory wholesale. Their website supports an extensive network of sales representatives and catalog sales. The site features an extensive taxonomy of products and brands allowing search as well as a drill down process.
