Hi I'm Kev Chapman - I design & build websites.

It’s been a real busy few months for me. I’ve just started a new job at Lightmaker working in technical design as a front end developer. I’ve just finished my first week and it’s all going well. Everyone’s been real friendly and hopefully I’m fitting in OK.

Sorry for the lack of posts I’ve had loads of work to do wrapping things up at Crow Design and now my days are much longer at Lightmaker with a longer commute.

I’ve made a few changes to this site over the weekend. The quick bits have gone, the plan is to make  shorter posts in the main section. I’ve restyled the comments, they were a bit overlooked when I first launched the site.

New Sites from my final month at Crow Design

• Steve Mace Productions
• Lure Fishing for Bass

Both these sites have some cool ajax stuff going on. Check them out

After spending some time updating an image based nav to include a new item, I thought, “this could be done entirely in CSS” and would be much easier to update.

I’ve been doing a lot of experimenting with advanced CSS, in particular with webkit, this is another example of this. The above image was created entirely in CSS making it fast, scalable and really simple to update.

I’ve been experimenting with some advanced webkit CSS properties. I’m planning on putting together a sandbox of development experiments where I can have a play with some of the new stuff coming out. This is the first in a series of experiments.

This demo touches on a few of the new CSS visual enhancements within webkit. Please note it will only work on webkit browsers and has only been tested in Safari 4.
