Each piece is hand cut and unique, but also comes framed, at a price that is more than reasonable for the depth, texture, and shear aesthetics you receive.

It was a pleasure to help create this site. It truly is a blessing in this industry to be able to work with something that I value and appreciate. AnnaBondoc.com is a Shopify site that I help to launch this week, that is the namesake of one of the two founders; Anna Bondoc and Vanessa Peter.

It was a challenging and pleasant new development experience, as this was the first time that I have worked in Shopify. Shopify is a hosted solution for e-commerce that uses a tag library, similar to ExpressionEngine, making it incredibly easy to implement and develop your own design.

For a first run through a custom design, the Shopify learning curve was at the very least refreshing as a developer with almost no solo e-commerce experience. There are some limitations on both the front and the back end, but the templating and page development is straight forward and very easy to work with.

Though not as robust as Magento, Shopify is now certainly at the top of my list for online sales solutions for those on a budget or those with out dedicated development staff. Anna Bondoc is at the top of my list for amazing artwork and certainly for any upcoming gifts.

Please check out AnnaBondoc.com. It’s nice to see something new and beautiful make the scene.

It is a wondrously magnificent culmination of design, content, flash, css, and jquery. It is css 2.1, XHTML transitional, 508, and WAI compliant. It’s graceful use of JavaScript navigation and flash animation, interaction spanning the HTML/Flash bridge compatible even in IE6, deep linking capabilities, and and stellar interaction make this a truly amazing site. The stuck footer and header, horizontal layout, and smooth animation of the navigation are unobtrusive and uniquely executed in this site. Please take a look, it has certainly pushed the envelope of forward progressive and cross-browser/backwards compatibility!

They specialize in highly custom linen design. Each aspect of the products they create are tailored to you exacting specifications and with a quality that I have seen unrivaled.

Now this incarnation of Leontine’s online brand has not encompassed the duration of our relationship, but it has certainly culminated in a beautiful presence. The site that currently inhabits the Leontine Linens URL is the sum total of nearly 3 months of planning, design and programming. It would not have begun with out great impetus to bring there online persona to the same level of quality as their print collateral.

I am very proud to say that this site has been my magnum opus. The photography direction, art direction, design, wire frames, programming and content management system have been personally crafted into their live site. Please take a moment to look over their site and their products; I would appreciate any feedback or comments that you have.
