Who Is John Stammerman
I'm a web and interactive designer and developer. I'm a big believer in things like web standards, semantic markup, usability, findability and plain ol' web goodness.
I'm a good ol' boy from Louisville, Kentucky. And yes, I love football - American style. If you'd like you can read a bit more about my website.
About This Website
Purpose
This website is the online portfolio and internet home of John Stammerman.
How It Was Built
It was build using semantic, valid XHTML markup and valid CSS. There's a bit of CSS code I borrowed from someone else that isn't valid. I'm working to get it updated.
It also makes heavy use of the JavaScript library jQuery, which provides enhanced features for modern browsers including animations and AJAX functionalities, and the PHP Framework CodeIgniter, which is a simple and elegant toolkit to create full-featured web applications.
Logo
I designed the logo myself. If you look closely at the logo, it spells my nickname "J.Stam".
Photography
The football background imagery is stock photography purchased from iStockphoto. Yes, I believe football is the greatest sport on the planet. ;-)
