Clean, compliant website development for Myrtle Beach.

I've noticed most websites around the Myrtle Beach area are really poorly designed. Years ago I started playing around with basic website development and in the past couple of years have gotten pretty good at it developing the website for my photography business at http://www.myrtlebeachphotography.org. I've taken my business in less than two years to the 2nd search result on Google for the popular search term "Myrtle Beach Photography" and #1 for "Myrtle Beach Wedding Photography". I've believe this is because of clean, fast loading xhtml and the fact that I avoid flash whenever possible. My websites are very search engine friendly.

I decided to put up this blog just to highlight my work. I've just completed a clean, modern website for wife's Pilates training business, and will soon be working on a site for a local bike shop. This is just something I do on the side if Photography is slow or I need a break. I'm know I'm strange that website code is a break for me, but wedding photography can get stressful. If you are interested in having a clean, modern, Photoshop designed, w3c compliant website let me know.  I've included examples of my sites below, more to come.

Center Float and background image

I just finished some updates to my Photography website, it now floats in the center of the view. I also updated the background so it is a repeating image to cut down on background size and load the page faster. The pier in the background is a static image placed over the top of a repeating ocean image blended in Photoshop in a way that it looks like they are one picture. I think it works pretty well.

Why is IE6 still around

I still get a lot of visits to my Photography website from Internet Explorer 6. I sure wish that browser would die, but since it hasn't I made a separate style sheet so the site would look better. The problem is that IE6 doesn't support png transparency which my site uses a lot of. But now with the separate css it looks descent, not perfect but good enough. IE7 is bad enough, I wish everyone would just switch to Google Chrome.
