Latest website: D3 triathlon

January 16, 12 //

After a successful but simple first version of their site, D3 triathlon needed something a little more refined and working across different devices. Augmented with new features for accessing race details quickly, this new version hopefully will bring D3 triathlon the audience they deserve!

Pay them a visit online, and if you’re in Ealing, go check them out directly! If you’re lookin to do some small and fun races, visit their site in a while when the new races are available. There should be for kids and adults!

Latest website: Propryo.com

Propryo is a slight twist of the French word “proprio”, which means “home owner”. My sister is trying to explore a few business ideas and we built together this little website where home owners advertise their properties for sale. Propryo is nothing close to a trading platform, it’s only there to advertise properties in a simple way.

The latest addition to the properties for sale is the Villa in Calvi which is a great addition as a featured property!

For the techies, it should work on mobile browsers as well as desktops, having used a little bit of fluid and responsive design and built as a sinatra pure ruby application hosted on heroku, using yaml configuration files and photos hosted on flickr.

Any feedback appreciated!

I’m a front-end dev!!

This post could also be entitled/summarised with “rant, rant, rant”, but for my own sake, I’ll make the effort of explaining what’s behind it.

My full time job title is “Front-end developer”. To anyone outside the web industry, it either means “err…. no idea”, or “a dude that makes websites”. To the initiated and (most) of my coworkers and industry pals, it means a whole lot more: I’m an expert in HTML, CSS, javascript (front-end technologies)… (more…)

A while back I posted about frustration I had about a project not being released. I posted it with a blurred screenshot of a site that will not get released. I’ve re-read the terms of my contract with Orange and it’s clearly accepted in it that I have the right to produce static assets for portfolio matters. Here they are!

Sweet success!

In between bad news from client #1 and client #2, There is a bit of bright news. Not all is bad for ekynoxe!

Through international DJ Shur-I-Kan, whith whom I work at Orange, I came to meet Steve Maud of Cloud Nine Media, who was at the time looking to create a new website to showcase his videos, while providing him with the ability to do it all himself from a CMS.

When I initially registered ekynoxe as my freelance practice, I already had a potential client, there was going to be quite some work to do, short term future was looking exciting, albeit a little bit unknown.

Frustration

March 21, 11 //

There are many things that a designer/developer has to go through, with varying degrees of complexity and annoyance. We’ve all been there, all endured the pain of a browser not liking your latest CSS wizardry, servers crashing and a few late payments. It’s annoying, but except sometimes for this last one, we live!

However, for me, there is one thing that tops it all. (more…)

The art of keeping calm

I delivered last week the website for a big client, and after a few months of very tight schedules, technical explications on the solutions chosen and the limitations of web browsers, debates and frank disagreements, I can’t say it’s been a smooth ride.

However, most of the problems that come up along the way can boil down to some important points that I may not have highlighted enough as being critical for the delivery, and the client’s inability to have things done and agreed in a timely manner: (more…)
