A website with advanced AJAX navigation designed

Mar 14, 2012GeorgeAustralia, Content Management Systems, Custom web components, Custom Websites, Pending Websites, ProgrammingComments Off on A website with advanced AJAX navigation designed

I’ve recently had the pleasure of converting someone’s PDF mockups to a fully functioning website.  This job came from freelancer.com, and happens to be my first bid on that site that was (honestly) accepted.

The employer (Niklas Olsson) wanted to remake his personal website: niklaso.com into something completely custom, impressively smooth and easy to navigate.  He was displeased with the speed of his current site as well, so he wanted to stay away from using a somewhat cumbersome framework like WordPress, preferring a design specifically written for his website, with of course, a custom content management system.

Niklas wanted his website to emulate the functionality of foundersfund.com (basically), with a few other custom requests.  So far, I believe I’ve met all of his goals as well as some of my goals for the site.  He provided the mockups, the images and a written description of the functionality, and needed me to design, roughly according to his specification, the PHP structure, the MySQL database schema, the CSS styling, and the jQuery/JavaScript effects for loading page content asynchronously using AJAX.

He’s impressed with how it’s coming along, and is in the process of hiring me for another simpler job.  Actually, he requested that I do this next job before finishing his personal site.

If you’d like to see what I’ve created for the new niklaso.com, check out njeo.idwds.com.
