15 High School Websites with Nice Designs

   Posted: February 16th, 2010    By: Devin Walker   

Hey there everyone, I love looking at lists of nice websites and realized that I never have written an article on that exact topic. So I decided to rate some High School websites since it’s a niche and perhaps could inspire some younger web designers. Do you think your high school’s website should be included on this list?

Flash Fluid Website Template Tutorial and Download

   Posted: December 8th, 2009    By: Devin Walker   

Flash EggI’ve been getting a lot of email lately from people asking about how I included buttons in the code for the fluid layout tutorial found here at Active Tut’s. I decided to just offer up my code in a package for those who want to modify it to suit their needs. Why? Because after much deliberation, I’m moving away from the all-Flash site for a blog/flash mix site (the one you’re on now). Let me know what you think and please come back to show me the sites you make!
