About Stevie C’s Site

The History:

I started my website in April 2006, and it has slowly evolved from badly constructed frames & Harry Potter GIFs to an online CV of sorts ever since.

The initial site wasn’t a visual Cave of Wonders, but creating it taught me a lot about HTML coding, CSS, JavaScript, image compression, web standards, accessibility, file formats and such. Code by notepad, graphics by MS Paint - you get the idea. Until recently, I never really knew what the end goal for the site was, or what I wanted it to be. iFrames (not an Apple product) aside, developing my website over the years has enabled me to acquire a vast array of web-orientated skills.

The Tech Stuff:

After an Apple update wiped out my iWeb project, I migrated back to Windows XP - with Notepad++ to develop my magical markup code, while using GIMP for graphics and FileZilla as an FTP client. My site is coded using HTML, CSS, ASP and a wee bit of XML and JavaScript.
And it validates. Woo Hoo!

As far as possible, I have strived to ensure that my site is as standards compliant as possible. As such, my site operates the way I want it to on Mozilla Firefox, Safari, iOS, Opera, Google Chrome and Android OS.

While there are no major incompatibilities with Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer (v7 & 9 tested), there are some minor quirks. However, I kinda like that.
I would advocate the use of Mozilla Firefox, but if you’re happy, I’m happy.

Please bear in mind that I am primarily a sound engineer and lighting tech - and not a web designer. Thanks.
