Bootstrap

Bootstrap is a widely-used open-source front-end framework that simplifies web development by offering a responsive grid system, components, and styles.

It enables developers to create consistent and mobile-friendly websites with ease, enhancing the efficiency of the design and development process.

dolnik.ca transition to Drupal
-

After many years with no changes, it was decided that a custom CMS wasn't cutting it anymore for this website. I decided to port the existing website, which the old version still remains at portfolio.dolnik.ca, to utilize Drupal instead.

This involved not only creating the data structures and importing the existing data, but also porting over the existing theme to work with Drupal's templating system.

Drupal not only helped improve the ease at which to add/edit new content, but also allowed for an increase in performance due to its powerful caching system.

dolnik.ca Website
-

After 5+ years of having a flash-only based website, dolnik.ca was due for an upgrade. After having a good look around at what the current web practices are, I decided to re-create dolnik.ca and go with a mobile-first based responsive design using Twitter's open source Bootstrap framework as a foundation.

In the name of reusability and for the ease of future updates, I ensured that most of the pages are highly templated, and pull their content from a simple custom CMS using a combination of PHP and MySQL. As for the general design I looked towards a flat and simple, yet textured layout, with a parallax background with a layer in front that resembles a scratched-up frosted glass.
