I’ve been working with WWW graphics and websites since 1996 or so. Learning new Photoshop techniques, CSS, HTML have been the key elements in my work through the years. So I thought of bringing my work out:
What is it?
Jurvelin Racing is a snowmobile and motocross team from Rovaniemi, Finland. Brothers Janne and Veli-Matti both race motocross during summer and Janne is a reigning Finnish Champion (2008) in snowmobiles.
How did I end up working with this project
Janne is a friend of someone I know so I was originally asked to do their website a few years back. I accepted since I had been working on websites quite actively the past few weeks.
How does it work?
Now in Autumn 2008, I re-designed the whole thing and installed Cutenews to work as a CMS.
I naturally consulted the team members (who update the website) on how to keep the site up-to-date and it has been going wonderfully. With the new design, I installed the latest version of Cutenews and so far no problems have occured.
What is it?
The Finnish Liverpool FC Supporters Branch is an official branch related to the club itself. Its discussions and topics naturally go around the football club itself, but it’s run by plenty of Finnish LFC fans around the country. They have close to 100 members officially and on their forums they have over 300 members (as of 27th of Oct 2008) making sure the speculation and discussion around the club never dies.
How did I end up working with this project
I joined as a member to an alternative LFC Finnish forums a while back and though being a member of the branch forums’ as well, it was decided that they wanted to join forces. I volunteered to do the dirty work by bringing all the content from the alternative forums to this new forum. Now I also re-designed their website to look more modern and a bit eye-catching.
How does it work?
phpBB3 acts as the forum software. It’s used as it’s free and easily customizable. Website is done in simple gfx+HTML+CSS with a couple of PHP scripts attached.
What is it?
Well it’s this site. That’s brief enough.
Just kidding. I used to have plenty of earlier versions of this site starting with D-Blog in 2004 where I held my blog very actively though the website layout was extremely simple. Just a table on right with borders and text inside.
Then I re-designed the webpage after learning some Photoshop. I became more modern and had some graphics in it and yet a year later, I revamped it again, though this time the layout only. Just about a year ago I decided to give a try with Wordpress and here we are now.
How did I end up working with this project
Well it’s my website damn it.
How does it work?
Right now it’s Wordpress driven, but it used to work with Cutenews.
