Welcome!
Hi, I'm Dustin Quam and this is my portfolio website. It's horrendously outdated. I'm working on it. Promise.
I've divided these projects into two sections: design and development. While essentially these categories are very similar, I decided to distinguish the sites I've designed and coded from scratch from the backend programming that I've done for various sites.
My web design philosphy includes the following priorities:
- Browser support across the board. No browser left behind. This includes the oft-detested Internet Explorer 6.
- Full accessibility for screen readers and mobile browsers.
- Scalable, clean designs.
- Easy on the eyes typography.
- No bloat. This includes overuse of Javascript and Flash.
- Sites should be usable on computers made within the last six to seven years. If not, they should have a simple fallback version.
- Standards compliancy.
- Beautiful HTML.
My programming philosophy:
- Comments, comments, comments. Commented code is the best code!
- Keep it simple, stupid!
- Don't repeat yourself.
- Keep it object-oriented.
