Epic is building some awesome electric vehicles right here in Southern California! I was super excited when their creative director approached me about doing their web development for them. All the development is being done in PHP, HTML/CSS with of course some killer javascript/jQuery mixed in! We’re utilizing Joomla for their CMS which is working out well for them. I’m super stoked to go visit their operation one of these days, and may even have the opportunity to take one of these bad boys for a spin!.
I totally love Windows 7! One of my favorite aspects of it (beyond it’s stability) is the user interface, it’s very functional and pretty. This week I just started my new job at Theme Your World, and as I started setting up my new machine I realized that I was missing Aero. At first I thought I was just using a “classic” mode which is why I had the old school task bar and start menu. So I immediately went in and tried to select the Aero theme. I found very quickly that my Aero themes had been disabled by default because I was running Windows Server 2008 R2, and I couldn’t figure out how to enable and use Aero and it’s awesome features. Totally bummed, I consulted one of my very good friends Google. Luckily for me, Google once again came to the rescue! I found this tutorial at The Expta {blog}, but it was a little vague. So I decided to create a little better tutorial to help you make your Windows Server 2008 machine look like Windows 7, complete with Aero!
Digital Uprising Design has officially released it’s first public Concrete5 theme! I’ve been using the Concrete5 CMS for a little over a year now, and I’ve been wanting to give back to the community for quite a while. I decided to do this by giving away free themes from time to time. I’m truly excited about this first release, and can’t wait to hear your feedback. Keep checking back for future releases, both free and commercial!
My name is Justin Woodcock and I’m a hybrid designer / developer based in Palm Springs, CA. While I am a total computer geek on the inside, you’re not going to leave a conversation with me feeling frustrated and confused by “geek jargon.” I will help you feel comfortable with everything you need to know about your website. Listening to the client’s needs, effectively communicating my design and development plans, and delivering a beautiful and functional website are the very core values I stick to. And by staying current with industry trends, I never allow myself to grow stale and outdated.
I have plenty of experience tying social media into web projects, and am extremely SEO friendly. Originally being from Bend, Oregon I have worked with some of the best SEO trend setters out there, as well as taken an in depth SEO course through Lynda.com.
As a big advocate of Content Management Systems, I can create custom templates/themes for most of the major CMS solutions (Joomla, WordPress, Drupal, Concrete5, modX, Sitefinity, etc.). While I originally favored Joomla as my preferred CMS, I’ve officially made the switch and definitely lean toward WordPress as my new favorite. I’m still working with Joomla as well, and the system just got even better with the new developments made in the new release of Joomla 1.6. But ultimately for me, it comes down to client usability and I’ve found that clients prefer to administrate a WordPress site above a Joomla site.

This was a cool site to work on, mainly because it was for Gatorade! I worked along side with a large creative agency in LA as well as some contacts of mine at Universal Sports (what’s up guys). Honestly, when I first started this project I didn’t know who Ryan Sutter was at all. But [...]
