Portfolio Update

This week saw the renewal of ShankDoor.com, a site that I had redesigned some time ago. I have just finished giving it a “spring cleaning” (I know it’s winter, but it’s warm enough here in PA that you might be fooled…) which included a new design, an upgrade from HTML 4.0 to XHTML 1.0, a new photo gallery, and an overall better site structure. The design template itself was the result of about 3 hours of work (probably the quickest I’ve ever done). It took another 2 full days of work (give or take) to redo the 80+ pages on the site. Overall, it was a pretty fast job speeded along by the fact that all the content stayed the same. It was just a matter of copy/pasting and a little more.
Some key features:

• Custom Graphics
• Revamped Logo
• CSS Design
• Cross-browser compatibility
• PHP/MySQL/Javascript Photo Gallery
• Email Forms
• 80+ pages
• Site Map and Search Engine
• Custom Google Map

If you have a chance, visit the site and leave a comment here on what you think. Thanks!

BTW, you can see the rest of the xHTMLpro.com design portfolio here.

UPDATE: I liked the design so much, I decided to package it as a design template and upload it to the web. It’s a hit! At this point, after being online for only 2 days or so, it has been downloaded about 450 times and is currently the 5th most frequently downloaded template on OSWD.org. Whee! Get it here.
