Role

Lead Front-End Developer

Launch Date

June 30th, 2010

I worked at a high level on Purina.com, leading between one and four other front-end developers throughout the site build process. Part of this process was working on high-level site architecture with the back-end developer, as well as coordinating the addition of huge quantities of content to the site. I was most hands on with the JavaScript code for the Breed Selector, which was a small Ajax-driven application built to be as modular as possible to accommodate future re-use in other product selectors.

    Our standards of “basic” and “comprehensive” editing roughly follow the descriptions of “light” and “heavy” editing as found in The Copyeditor’s Handbook by Amy Einsohn. As copyeditors we cannot unilaterally decide what level of editing your paper requires. The decision to apply “basic” or “comprehensive” editing must be a mutual one, agreed to by you and us.

    Helped a client with every aspect of his web presence. Worked with the client extensively on content strategy and search engine optimization, before assembling a simple-yet-elegant design that seemed brand-appropriate. Developed simple managed-content back-end in Django to support the site, leveraging mostly Flatpages as well as a contact form. Wanted to work within a small budget, but to leverage a framework that would allow for additional features like user login and payment.
