I worked closely with our designer to develop initial wireframes from client brief. Templates were created using XHTML, CSS, CSS3, JavaScript and jQuery.
Site was designed to be fluid width with fixed positioned elements. Math Functions were used in the CSS to achieve position fixed in IE6.
JQuery BG Stretcher was used and altered to supply rotating background images stretched to any view port size. A custom built blank WordPress theme was used to serve front-end templates and coded using php into a locally run version of WordPress.
Twitter API was used to show a twitter feed and post to twitter each time a post was created. Contact form 7 wp-plugin was used and altered to create a contact form, alterations were made to prevent spam and send to multiple client email addresses.
Site was versioned using Git and deployed over an SSH update script though mac terminal. Tested in all browsers mac/pc including mobile environments. CSS media queries were used to find orientation and view port size of devices.
Targeted browsers specifically IE were found using if statements in the head, and browser specific class names given to the body.
