ElevatorUP.com - LIVE

A couple days ago I talked about my frustration with writing a sellable block of text about myself and few days before that, I peeked your interested by saying something new was coming.

Now, after much torture and head-to-keyboard nights, I’ve finally put together a website that shows off almost all of the work I’ve done over these past years.

While working on the site I made a huge effort in keeping it clean. To me - this included, simple navigation, light relaxing colors, and just the basic of information. I didn’t feel the importance of going on and on about myself to end up just boring a potential client.

On thing that I don’t have on the site quite yet is all the feedback/comments I’ve received from various clients over the years. They’ve all been so great to work with and with their permission, I’ll be placing their nice words on my site very soon.

Another way that I felt it neccessary to keeping the site clean was simple code. XHTML and CSS are the web’s closest friends and they were quite involved in the development of this site - along with a small amount of PHP to help out in various areas.

As you’ve probably noticed above - my site was highlighted as a well developed CSS site at cssvault.com.

How does the cssvault pick the sites?

Well first they have to be done in CSS. Tables can only be used for tabular data. Second they just have to look good to me. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so I do not expect every site that is posted to be liked by everyone or even anyone. Also do not expect a site to be posted just because you sent it in.

Needless to say I am very proud to have been noticed and highlighted as someone using CSS and using it well.

So with all that - Get odda here and go visit the site. Then tell all your friends, family, co-workers, and email buddies that I can develop a website for them.

Awesome job — your XHTML and CSS skills are definitely at a level that I need to aspire to.

Keep up the great work, and good luck with everything.

Aaron — I just went to your site again, and it looks like there are some serious PHP errors. Not cool, might want to look at them ASAP. :-)

yea - I’m switching servers and waiting for everything to propigate. It’s a 2 second change once everything is switched over to the new server.

Actually the new server is a server that I bought - I’ll be doing a lot of my own hosting from now on. Sooner or later I’ll have a write up about all that.

Thanks for letting me know.
