D-Jam

Role: Creative Director and Head Developer
Technology: HTML5, CSS3, PHP, MySQL

The D-Jam site has been one of my oldest jobs, and I use it partially for my own entertainment, but also to show my own capabilities and what can be done on the internet. Click here to see more about past iterations of this web site and how its evolved.

For this latest iteration, the entire site was built in HTML5 and CSS3.  Steps were taken to make the site compatible among most browsers, but some older browsers will have problems viewing the site.  I explain why I made this decision and go in-depth into the inner workings of the site here.

For the design, I wanted to garner the excitement and dark colors normally found on a site for a club/rave DJ.  Full backgrounds were used to provide a brilliant visual effect, and each section was given its own color scheme to further create individual identities for each.  The logo was redesigned to carry a very modest and universal look that can display nicely on flyers and for events covering many music genres.

The back-end is powered by my own custom-built Content Management System and Blog software.  The Imagery section utilizes Flickr's API to bring in the photos and display them as galleries.
