The himpressive theme is the new core for all of my Drupal sites. You can find information on the Himpressive theme here, as it has it's own section on the site. A screenshot is provided, but you are on the site using the base version of himpressive, so just look around and you'll get an idea how the theme looks!

This project encompasses my resume update. I redid the site theme from a horrid Flash site that was about 3 or 4 years old about a month ago. It was a quick 24 turn-around from concept, photoshop design, and then cut up into a Drupal theme.

The Himpressive Drupal theme is still under heavy development, and isn't quite ready yet for public release. There are quite a few issues to solve prior to it being ready to release.

Omni-Financial was a project I did through Mango Media during my time there. It was done on Drupal 5, and really a simple theme development based on a nice, clean design by Zach Meyer.

This project is one of the older ones in the portfolio still, but the Drupal theme was enough to keep it in here for now.

This was one of my first attempts into Drupal, and it went quite well, and was one of the sites that pushed me towards using Drupal for 100% of the development projects I produce.

This project was contracted to me through Eurekastep. The main project was through Frog Box Marketing, both UK companies.

It was a Drupal setup for a shopping center (shopping centre, crazy Brits!) in West Sussex. The project was a simple clean design that translated fairly easily into a Drupal installation.

The lower footer area attaches to the bottom of the window should the content be shorter than the overall height of the browser window.

Since recently updating himerus.com to Drupal, and breaking out an old PSD that I had originally started for the project I had titled "himpressive", I've been working on figuring out how to really make that into a Drupal theme that people would want to use, as well as a theme that I can use as a core starting block for all my

I've been only moderately playing with this site in spare time since my quick implementation of the Himpressive theme.

I think that for the "theme" to be completely successful, it will first have to lose the static height it is set to now. It will require expanding the two columns to match height, and take into account column resizing when certain events happen like ajax loading of views, etc. This will remove the scrolling sections in the center sections as they are just too hard to appropriately adjust for. I had been able to properly modify column width by 20px to acommodate for scroll bars if they were present, but making them attractive using jScrollpane was impossible, as it never seems to work in my installations w/Drupal. The overall effect is tacky anyway, as inner page scrolling should only be used in rare cases in my opinion.

This article is outdated, but still applies to the old version of himerus.com located at http://himerus.com/old/. Some of the thoughts here carry over to the new design, as it carries over a large amount of alpha-layer transparency.

When I first began this project to create my blog, I didn't have a real direction to know if there was any particular feature/design challenges that I was hoping to learn, or implement. It became clear after just a couple of hours in Photoshop that I had a layout that could potentially get some nice reviews... but the longer I played with the layout, the more transparent things became...

I've had the chance to work with x-cart now on one full project from start to finish, and am working on some customizations, database integration with another x-cart project. Here's my initial comment on the x-cart system.
