Alan Laidlaw http://alanlaidlaw.com Front End Web Developer Tue, 23 Aug 2011 17:17:49 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 Welcome http://alanlaidlaw.com/432/ http://alanlaidlaw.com/432/#comments Thu, 18 Aug 2011 04:41:08 +0000 Alan http://alanlaidlaw.com/?p=432 This is the alpha version of my new site. Over the coming weeks, I’ll be adding a bunch of new techniques and technologies that I’ve picked up over the last year. Responsive design, canvas elements, css3 animations and hefty amount of fun plugins. Hopefully it’ll be like that playground at Ikea.

For small jobs, I don’t mind using a WordPress template. I cracked open the code, changed a couple of wordpress calls, switched a few wires around in jquery and had the site done in one night.

This is another case where the content determined the design. He has five sections that all have equal weight. I didn’t feel there was enough content to force a user to another page, but there was too much to treat it like a excerpt. After I settled on the sort of interaction I wanted, I searched out a theme that would get closest to what I was after, without a bunch of extra fluff. ]]> http://alanlaidlaw.com/will-griffith-law/feed/ 0 Sony http://alanlaidlaw.com/sony/ http://alanlaidlaw.com/sony/#comments Thu, 19 May 2011 15:39:50 +0000 Alan http://alanlaidlaw.com/?p=451

    I’m currently working with Medi-copy Service Incorporated – an outsourcing medical records copy service. I’m rebranding their logo and packaging with a focus on their web service. I love this job!

They are expanding, but not into music. They’ve got a new store opening soon and, I’m happy to say, a new website. I put together a quick wordpress site for them while we organize their content. Metaphorically, I’ve leaned their chair back into the sink and given their hair (web-content) a thorough washing. Now I’m cracking my knuckles and prepping my shears. The next step is to turn their site into the devastatingly user-friendly hair-related site in Nashville. ]]> http://alanlaidlaw.com/salon-ya-ya/feed/ 0 Three new projects I can’t wait to show off http://alanlaidlaw.com/three-new-projects-i-cant-wait-to-show-off/ http://alanlaidlaw.com/three-new-projects-i-cant-wait-to-show-off/#comments Mon, 23 Aug 2010 05:41:17 +0000 Alan http://alanlaidlaw.com/?p=319 Quick Update: I have been working the last two weeks on three websites. One is a small static site that I pulled together for a friend. The two others are pretty involved wordpress sites. Once the domains are switched over, I’ll show them to you. In the meantime, I redesigned my resume here. I hope you like it. When these sites are done, I’ll get back to focusing on this site so I impress the locals! resume

This is non-profit for lost dogs in the famous Printer’s Alley of Music City fame. Apparently there are alot of lost dogs there. I think the legend goes that once a sidewalk singer reaches his/her 10,000th song (thus making them an official Outlier), they transmogrify into stray dogs.
    Wait no, I have that wrong. Cause for the Paws is located and funded by Printer’s Alley. Musicians can’t transform. Cause for the Paws finds homes for dogs all across Nashville and have big Pawfests twice a year. The site will be live before the next event. ]]>     http://alanlaidlaw.com/cause-for-the-paws/feed/ 0
