I am forced to skin and totally customize Community Server message boards, blogs and photo galleries at my day job. I became so good at it that I wrote what we (my co-workers and I) call “The Community Server Skinning Bible”. I would not recommend table-based layouts or ASP.NET to anyone but here’s what I can do with Community Server if I absolutely have to.

Message Boards

I have skinned Community Server message boards for the follwing bands as part of my day job: Blue Rodeo, Jerry Cantrell, Triumph, Matt Mays. The memberships range from almost a few hundred members to almost 5000 members. At some point I have modified almost every file involved in a Community Server skin (hundreds!) and I can track things down easily (seems like no big deal until you see how they wrote the code).

Blogs

I have used Community Server blogs to make updating news and reviews sections easier. It also allows commenting on the news items. Everything has been 100% skinned by me.

Photo Galleries

Out of the box the Community Server photo galleries are a mess. I hack them up and change a bunch of things to make them work for our needs. 100% skinned by me, as usual.

A website for a promotions company (I didn’t create the logo). I was given a logo and asked to create a website. After discussing needs it was decided that this site would be powered by WordPress. The site and company no longer exist.

A series of Photoshop mock-ups for an online entertainment magazine. This client came, asked for lots and lots of mock ups and disappeared. I do a search once in a while and I’ve enever been able to find a website by this name. The mock-ups were pretty fun to do. The client was very hands-on but we always managed to come up with something we both liked.

A website for California rock band Turbulent. These guys were looking for a re-design and I helped them out. I’m not sure that the re-design ever saw the light of day, I think the band broke up to attend college shortly after this was completed.

A website for Latin rock star Luke Brodie. One of my first full sites (ignore the code) and it up up and running until recently, almost 5 years later. Fully powered by my custom built CMS. Maybe I should talk to Luke about a re-design….

A website for a wholesale telecom distributor (such a clever name). The entire site is just a hacked up/customized skin for osCommerce. I did the design, someone else did all of the back end.

A website for the band Outside Fairvale. Another site fully powered by my custom CMS. I think they have played two shows since their website went up a couple of years ago and it looks as if they have changed their name and now no longer exist.

A website for an online and brick and mortar baby clothing store. This site started out years ago as a regular site with a decent store powered by my custom CMS. It became evident that the store needed to be bigger and so the site was converted and is now fully powered by osCommerce but this time I did all of the back end PHP code as well as the design of the skin.

A website for the Orangeville, Ontario chapter of Skate Canada. Fully designed by me (looks a little “boxy” or “tabular”) and powered by a custom CMS created by me and Mike of MTIS. The CMS was even integrated with osCommerce and an open source photo gallery application, fancy.

A Photoshop mock-up for a band called Wester. They liked the initial mock-up but then decided that they didn’t have enough money for an entire site. It was kind of a weird situation.
