Much More (Music)

Matt — Sat, 22 May 2010 14:06:24 +0000

I wrote the HTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP for this custom WordPress theme for MuchMore.ca (re-branded from Much More Music). This project involved using WordPress as a full site CMS rather than just a blog platform. The site even features a blog within a blog (Daily Fix).

MMVA 2009

I cut the XHTML and CSS for this massive Much Music Video Award site. Some highlights include sponsor pop ups in the header, a custom javascript rotator on the home page, skinned sponsor pages, and secure voting pages.

Red Hot Much Blog

Matt — Sat, 22 May 2010 13:09:33 +0000

I cut the HTML & CSS and turned it into a custom WordPress theme for the Much Music blog. The site was designed by Nick Fox. We had to import all of the old content from a very old Movable Type install; no easy task since we had to maintain SEO as the blog receives tens of thousands of page views some days.

The New Music

Matt — Sat, 22 May 2010 11:55:14 +0000

A custom WordPress theme for MuchMusic’s The New Music. Designed by Nick Fox, this theme includes a heavily customized home page that displays several posts in a variety of different ways rather than the usual 10 blog posts and a “previous posts” link.

Rahaf Harfoush’s Website

Matt — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 15:22:51 +0000

A custom WordPress theme designed by Alan Smith of The Movement and turned into a WordPress theme using standards compliant CSS, XHTML and some PHP black magic (really just if statements.. shhhh). Some highlights include a different home page template, different colour highlights for each category and a totally different work category layout. Visit Rahaf’s site or click “Read the rest of this entry” to see some screen shots.

Love You To Death Website

Matt — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 12:14:25 +0000

A custom WordPress skin created for the power pop band Love You To Death. I did all of the HTML and CSS, I also laid it all out and created the background images. I did everything but the logo. Love You To Death website.

Much Music BIC Soleil Hot Lists

Matt — Wed, 06 Sep 2000 12:14:15 +0000

A re-build and re-skin of the Much Music countdown lists. Fans could create and rate lists about anything. The list with the highest ratings won a trip. The back end is ASP.NET and the design was done by Patty Ho. I cut the mock into standards compliant CSS & XHTML. Everything is vertically fluid to allow for user generated content. The screen shots don’t do it justice, and the razors in the top left corner are a flash piece that rotates between colours of razors, that’s why it looks weird sometimes.

Summerhill Day School Website

Matt — Wed, 06 Sep 2000 12:14:03 +0000

A re-design of a website for a private school in Oakville. Not the hardest thing ever but it did have to look EXACTLY like the Photoshop mocks. The home page includes a fancy menu that changes transparency when hovered and works cross browser.
