This isn’t a code palace so i’m just going to show some of the elements which are neat.

Main body of the site with custom menu configurations.

Custom category with rollovers

Job application page with custom contact form and new ‘Apply with LinkedIn’ button for quick submission.

Newsletter pop up and sign up with CSS3 goodness (Mailchimp)

A shot of single posts, custom fields drive the video embeds if needed. Tooltips give share options and shortlinks with custom lucd.co domain (using WP bit.ly).

Custom user list layout, lists all the users on the multi site but in this instance is serves as a reference to employees. Pretty cool! Needs some tweaking

I’m not ashamed of it though, Reeder is one of my favourite iPad apps in terms of design, the paper cut feel is gorgeous.

Here is my latest digital representation of me though, and hopefully it will last longer than it’s predecessors. Building sites has become a guilty pleasure for me over the past year or 2 (this is probably the 10th theme I’ve built for WordPress). I’m not actually technically a developer or a designer, I’ve had zero training in either, but I suppose this goes to show on the world wide web, anythings possible and anythings learnable!

Anyway, hello!
