Denim was that word last week in development land. I updated the Jeans/Denim headers to be more interactive and simple for the end user. Instead of giving users a ton of options with a ton of selections, we dumb’d it down to a few steps. I added in some basic interaction/transitions. Development time wasn’t too…

QS – New Denim Header
Sometime last week (I forget) I launched the Quiksilver Denim Header. The project features 30+ jeans organized horizontally and allows the user to sort through each one. We decided to feature only the center jean, and we dim out the others. You can shop by individual fit or style as a whole. We created a…
DC – Gymkhana 5
Yesterday was a big day, came into the office super early and got to finally push out the page I’ve been working on for DC – Gymkhana FIVE! The video is amazing! (and also the most watched video on the internet right now) This page is built as a “Microsite”. Microsites give us flexibility into…
DC at X Games Instagram
Recently I launcehd a “DC at X Games” piece for DC Shoes. This pulls in all of the team riders thare are participating at the X Games. It’s really cool as it allows the user to see the DC athletes’s lives in a very visual manner.
DC Shoes – New Feature – Instagram in Whats up feed
One feature of the dcshoes.com website is that on all the sport pages (skate, auto, moto…) and all the athlete pages (rob dyrdek, chris cole, travis pastrana, etc…) is that in the WHAT’S UP section, there are blocks of photos and text. What many people don’t realize is that this is an update to date…
New Site – DC Shoes – Unilite Trainer
This is going to be the first of many. I’m going to start showcasing some of the work that I do. Granted, I’ve done A LOT of development, but my 1 or 2 readers may get a kick out of it. I’m also going to be keeping a local copy of the sites that I…
“but it was all worth it”… is stupid
Now, you might read this at first and think I’m ridiculous but give me a chance to explain myself. I personally do not like it when people say “but it was all worth it”. Whenever I hear someone saying the phrase above, it makes me think that they do not like doing what they are…
A Developers (my) thoughts on Flash
Throughout my life, I’ve loved Adobe’s (err, Macromedias) Products. I can remember back in 6th grade when I was first getting into web development that I had no idea what the difference between Shockwave and Flash was. I had no idea how the web, which at the time was ancient as hell (see www.archive.org and…
Global IP List
Part of development that is fun yet tricky is developing for a global audience. For dcshoes.com, we are having 1 single site address (www.dcshoes.com) that will act differently according to the location of the user (and language too, but I wont get into that). At some point in time, a developer must deploy some code…
