Dry Carpet Cleaners

Written by Darron on July 26th, 2010

Dry Carpet Cleaners was my first paid website work since arriving back in South Africa. The design was already completed by Wynell Colville-Reeves and all I had to do was code it into XHTML/CSS. While the site is extremely simple, I still wanted to do my best to create valid markup and make it as Search Engine friendly as possible. I didn't just cut up the design, I planned the layout and text to create a site that is both visiualy appealing and quick to load.

Hobby Kit

Written by Darron on June 6th, 2010

Hobby Kit was my first Ecommerce project. After evaluating various PHP based shopping cart systems, I finally settled on OpenCart as my system of choice. The theme had to be clean and very easy to navigate to entice customers to buy the products. Being based in South Africa, where PayPal is not yet commonplace, I had to create my own Payment modules for handling payments through a local Payment Processor.

Heli Reviews

Written by Darron on June 2nd, 2010

Heli Reviews started as a personal project. Now because it was a personal project I had complete control over every aspect of the design. I decided to use WordPress as the base system as I was already familiar with it and it suited my needs perfectly. The theme needed to be clean and easy to navigate. I wanted to make it very Web 2.0, so I used JQuery for various display functions. I also integrated various social networking options to extend the reach and interactivity of the site.
