An Online Portfolio
Black Mountainside is the online portfolio of Mike Spencer, a web designer and front-end developer who has been working for over three years as a freelancer and in the corporate sector. Throughout his career Mike has strived to create clean, simple designs that focus on usability and comply with web and accessibility standards.
Time Is On My Side
The last two years have passed by in a whirlwind. In that time I've finished my college degree, worked at two different jobs, and moved three times. I've also started up Buckleburyferry.net (a pet project that has consumed a fair amount of my free time), and have become active in the local Ultimate community.
As far as BlackMountainside.com, I've recently overhauled the HTML, CSS, and content of most the site, with updates to the portfolio coming soon.
Recent Work
Town of Covington website
This website was my first assignment at Deelicious Web Design where I was responsible for both the design and the coding. The site has a CSS-based layout and is built around standards and accessibility guidelines.
IR Systems website
At Deelicious Web Design, I was responsible for most of the design and all of the coding of this website for a local satellite service retailer. The site has a CSS-based layout and is built around standards and accessibility guidelines. It also includes a nifty little AJAX calculator.
A Bit of Olde England website
This project was done for Advanced Digital Design in conjunction with an assigned partner from an Advertising Writing class. The project needed to include three ads, a billboard, and a package design for a snack food. My partner and I agreed upon Tostitos Hint of Lime for our snack and created a simple and sophisticated campaign.
Deelicious Web Design website development
This design was created by the owner for the Deelicious Web Design website. I was solely responsible for implementing the XHTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, XML, and MySQL database needed for the site. The site includes many PHP e-mail forms, client login section that utilizes the MySQL database, and an XML-driven portfolio.
