I don't really consider webdesign my absolute strength. I know not to make the glaring design errors still prominent on the web and occasionally I take joy in nudging pixels about on the screen to craft a fresh look, but I am better at translating existing designs to client- and server-side code than I am at creating them.

I tend to eliminate reference to past websites from the internet. The right bar is a teaser of that past - chances are I won't ever dig up the screenshots of the pages they're taken from, as I quite prefer the allusion to having a photo album of past sites (even if some of them are indeed quite dear to me).

The more notable ones are certainly those that are still in use today:

The current website for Crimson Feather, often just referred to as Wildcard, was created to catapult the plot into its third incarnation. It is arguably the only website I've ever deliberately designed to be prettier than all my previous attempts at webdesign, of course embracing my tenet that all used art must either be in the public domain or drawn by myself. In this case, every part of the website - every bit of server-side code, of client-side code, of layout and images - is my creation.

The second would be the old Crimson Feather website, used for the roleplaying game's second incarnation. It has, by some act of unusual behaviour, managed to evade my growing dislike that I tend to begin harbouring for past designs. That being said, it is quite possibly the only intricately designed website I ever attempted to do. I'm no friend of working all day in Photoshop or GIMP, and - even though technically the only 'complicated' element of that design are two flavours of gradients - this is unusually worked out for me.

The third would be my calling card website - the one you're on now. It really summarises my minimalist design philosophy: Minimal image use, very few distracting elements, simple colour scheme. Two icons, a background image, a box and a lot of text, suspended in darkness.

The fourth would be aggum!. I created the design and the server-side scripts for my mother. The design has fortunately aged well - the scripts not so much, since I created them well before knowing anything about internet security. The site isn't high-profile and interesting enough to warrant fixing it, though each time I think of the code, I wince and am quite tempted.

The final would be the Darkmyst IRC RPG Network's homepage. Now, before you go click on that and assuming I did all of it, I didn't. The actual design was done by someone far more proficient than me - it violates several tenets I have for myself, though this doesn't stop me from considering it gorgeous. No, my contributions are more subtle than that: The design of the 'chat now' content blurb, with the boxes and indentation, the design of the sidebar content, the restoration of text-riddled images for generic use (the image atop the sidebar column, the subheader 'banner' background, latter prominently used on their /list-scraping page), and other small things that accumulate to enough that I dare mention it here.

And that's it for now.
