I finally updated my portfolio site in 2010. A client had made a joke about my portfolio site being like an electrician who never has the time to change the burnt out light bulb in his own home. Well, I have finally made the time to change that burnt out old web site.

My philosophy in regards to my portfolio site is that it should be a simple design that keeps the focus on the individual projects and not distract you with every gimmick from my bag of tricks.

Once again I am building on the ModX CMS to make updates to the site a little easier on myself. I also designed the site to take advantage of the latest css 3 features like rounded corners, text and box shadows to keep the site as lightweight and streamlined as possible. The downside to this approach is that the site will not look as pretty for the small amount of users with older browsers that don't support these features. To me it's an acceptable trade off since the site stays perfectly usable despite the missing flair.
