Marvel Internet Group blog

Hi, I’m Alan Attwater, the lead designer for Marvel Internet Group. I’ll be posting general information about the design and development of our online projects, as well tips and tricks on technologies like Typo3 and CSS.

I work on a variety of projects at any one time, designing both shop front websites and web applications. I recently completing the design and development of the new Marvel websites in the Typo3 CMS, only 4,000+ lines of CSS!

I’ve also started on the interface designs for a new in-house project called JustRosters.com, turning VERY VERY rough sketches into attractive, working interface mockups. The biggest challenge so far has been getting the main interface to fit dynamically on any screen size, whilst maintaining it’s main functionality and useability. Sounds easy, but calendars never seem easy to work with. I’ve made good use of the Javascript user interface library jQuery, to provide the main interface functionality, while maintaining fast page load times.

Anyway, better get back into it, after all, those interface sketches are very rough, and Paul is hanging out to start coding!
