My First Website
It's hard to believe that after sixteen years in the software business I had yet to build a full website. But I specialized in desktop applications, like Visio and Universal Type Server, so the opportunity never presented itself.
I've spent several years working on a product with some friends in my spare time, and our old website sucked, so we decided to rewrite it. Please be kind. Our business manager bought a template before I got to evaluate it, and frankly it was a mess of fixed-size images, nested tables, and a heavy flash header. But we cleaned it up a bit and there are some things I'm proud of. Most of the text content is XML data transformed to HTML, so a non-technical person can update the content without republishing the site. I created a quote control that cycles through customer quotes on a timer. And the images can be zoomed by clicking on them.
