Adding drop shadow to a box using style.css

August 15, 2010 by Brian Leave a Comment

Here's a cool technique I use to make a drop shadow effect without making a custom image. Which not only saves on file size but its cool ;) -moz-box-shadow: 0 5px 10px #333333; box-shadow: 0 5px 10px #333333; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 5px 10px #333333; /* For IE 8 */ -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=4, Direction=135, Color='#333333')"; /* For IE 5.5 - 7 */ filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=4, Direction=135, Color='#333333'); You can … [Read more...]

WordPress “Pretty” Links

August 9, 2010 by Brian Leave a Comment

WordPress creates pages & posts like this http://brianlis.com/?p=123 Not exactly SEO friendly or even human friendly as p=123 probably doesn't mean anything to anyone. To change the way your pages are displayed inside your WP admin panel goto Settings>Permalinks. Switch the settings to custom and use the value /%postname%.htm or /%postname%.html or /%postname%/ depending on how you want your post slug or URL to be displayed. There might be SEO advantages as to the ending you use. I've … [Read more...]

Blogging… again

August 6, 2010 by Brian Leave a Comment

Back by popular request. Well not actually. I just wanted a place to remind me all the little web design tricks I've picked up along the way. In addition to a reminder to myself, I'm a strong advocate of blogging to all my clients - especially corporate clients. Why? Because blogging does two things for you. First, it sets you up as the authority in your field. As prospective clients review your site they'll see you know all the intricacies about your product or service. Secondly, its GREAT for … [Read more...]

Silver Halo Healthcare

July 19, 2010 by Brian Leave a Comment

Silver Halo, Inc. was the dream and final realization of agency owner, Renna Diamond. Of Greek descent, the owner’s first name means Silver. In Greece, all women named Silver are named for two Saints called Anaryiri (which ironically means without silver). These Saints were doctors, who gave all their wealth away in order to heal the poor and the homeless. Keeping in true form, Silver Halo was formed with the mission of helping people of all classes, all cultures, and all incomes. … [Read more...]

Client Testimony

Reinvention Summit

Brian is a code ninja. What had other teams stumped for weeks on end, Brian figured out and deployed in a matter of days. What a relief to work with someone who actually knows what they are doing – doesn’t just say that they do.

We came to Brian at the 11th hour after 4 other developers bungled the deployment. We needed expert help to fix our site (Buddypress/Wordpress/Genesis framework) and get it live under big launch deadline.

Brian is the real deal. He didn’t nickle and dime us every step of the way. He got it done. For a very fair price. This dude rocks.
