Consider this a work-in-progress, as the application running on my server is such.  Codename ‘ Flyer’, it started out based on the excellent Wiki Vanilla, and is growing into a dynamic, lightweight web framework.  More information and source will be forthcoming.

Design Concept

The current ross-gill.com design is pinched from an idea I had for desktop application design.

The imagery is based on photos taken one hazy summer’s day while walking in the mountains of Arran.  The mountains are, left to right, Goatfell, Cir Mhor, Beinn a Chliabhain, A’ Chir and Beinn Tarsuinn.

Technical

CSS

Cascading Style Sheets are used extensively to not only make the design concept come to life, but to ensure faster page loading and ensure the integrity of the design.  However, the main column can appear too short if not enough content is contained.  This is due to limitations in CSS that are being investigated…

Xara X¹

Xara Xtreme
My graphics package of choice.  Every element of this page design was conceived and produced within Xara.  And, for good measure — it’s going Open Source, woohoo! All that’s left is <whisper>SVG, SVG, SVG</whisper>…
