The Pit Viper

Just fin­ished up a redesign of a friends site for his buggy, The Pit Viper.

I imple­mented valid XHTML code, and added some meta data so that the site is more search engine friendly. I broke up the text into sep­a­rate head­ings so it would be eas­ier to read.

I used fan­cy­box to punch up the photo gallery at the bot­tom. I also took advan­tage of some CSS3 for some tran­si­tion effects on the links, and rounded cor­ners on the image borders.

New Website Smell 2

I think I might have all the bugs worked out on the site. Well for my county, school starts this week. That means more work for me and the rest of the IT staff. I think I’ll turn both my cell phones off.

Slightly new page lay­out to accom­mo­date my small com­puter ser­vic­ing busi­ness. Also the fist time I have done the page entirely with out Front­Page. All HTML cod­ing, and I love it, too much fun.
