Web Development Update

Last November I started working on a professional website, only to go on hiatus in February before returning to the States. I didn't start working on it again until June, and I'm glad to say its nearly complete.

Since June I've exchanged my crude text holders for icons from Icomoon, by buttons for tabs and plain html for some nice hover effects. I've also added color and some jQuery to make the site interactions more dynamic. I'm still sorting out the colors, affects and some minor alignment, but the website is coming along.

Before I tune the aspects listed above, I'm working on making the website responsive. In other words, it will modify the content to fit whatever screen it's on. Mostly I'm working on creating media queries for the mobile and tablet.

So far it's been a pretty good ride. I've gotten a better hold on CSS3 transitions, bootstrap override, responsive navigation, dynamic Javascript and Jquery, with a dash of PHP for the contact form. I'm not sure I would use this site for an actual personal website at the moment, but it's been a great learning experience.

My next project will be to create a blogger template, followed by some ventures into WordPress. Wish me luck!
