Note: Experimental Web Site

A Design Interactive began in the Fall of 2005 as a place for experimenting with Web Standards compliant HTML and Cascading Style Sheets as a means for advancing into current and future Web Design technique. It would go on to become a springboard for several small web development learning projects, primarily focused on gaining a mastery of the people's server-side scripting language, PHP, and the popular open-source database, MySQL.

In Four Hundred Days

A lot can happen in just over a year's time. Since the original publishing of adesigninteractive.com, I started a Web Services business, Centre Web Design. With CWDesign I offer Hosting, Database and Web Data Management, Web and Graphic Design, e-Commerce with Visa and Mastercard, and just about any custom work a small-business client might need.

Hard Habit to Break

Recently I've resumed experimenting here at A.D.I. -- primarily in the realm of Object Oriented Programming in PHP, I turn to this domain as a sandbox for trial and error on a production server. A forthcoming overhaul of Alley Cat Music's web site has inspired me to create a design which requires very little static text. 100% of the text you're reading is actually stored in a database, retrieved by special code, depending upon which page is selected in the navigation menu, and other variables.
