Brooklyn Apartment - For Sale By Owner

Apartment - For Sale By Owner

What does a web developer do when he needs to sell his apartment, he builds a website of course.

This one page site features a photo slideshow, property details section, and a google map highlighting the local attractions. Technical highlights include the use of HTML5 and CSS 3. The header was created purely with the CSS 3 @font-face attribute.

The apartment was listed in May 2011, an offer was accepted within the month and is now in contract.

Brooklyn Public Library Catalog

This redesign of the BPL catalog website was launched in October, 2009. The primary challenge was that the majority of the HTML within the vendor-supplied system can't be changed. The HTML is also invalid, non-semantic, and lacking in structure.

The user interface and experience was improved to help patrons easily find and check out library materials. The navigation was streamlined, redundant elements removed, and primary tasks were given more emphasis.

Fulton Street Trade Card Collection

This Fulton Street Trade Card Collection consists of 245 advertising cards from businesses located on Fulton Street from the late 19th and early 20th century. A team of librarians worked on digitizing and cataloging the cards. My task was to build an easy to use website to present the collection to the public.
