ZhuZhuInfo.com
NEW: Most people have heard of this year's hottest Christmas toy for kids, the Zhu Zhu Pets, well Scottyman Media decided to jump in the middle of the action! This toy's explosive popularity leads us to believe that it will see much success in the year(s) to come, long beyond this year's Christmas frenzy.
We used the powerful blogging platform Wordpress to develop a fully functional website with news blog, complete with an online Amazon store embedded. This site is called ZhuZhuINFO.com, and it literally took a copule of days to design, develop and publish to the web. Although we've submitted the url to the major search engines, it still takes time for them to index new sites; so a lot of effort was put into the handy "sharing" tools that allow people to forward the site to a friend or post articles on major web servies.
So have a look at ZhuZhuINFO.com and pass the link around! Thanks.
Task Manager Pro
STILL IN DEVELOPMENT: The Task Manager Pro is a dynamic web application for managing work tasks. It's like to-do lists on steroids, giving you the ability to manually set the priority of your tasks or sort them several other ways! You can easily create, edit, archive and search your tasks.
While we're no strangers to dynamic websites at Scottyman Media, this is the first dynamic web application developed by us, for us! Besides designing a slick, intuitive user interface, the app requires merging browser-side code with server-side code, consisting of five different languages: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and MySQL.
CSS Button Maker
In the past, Scottyman Media has utilized JavaScript to enhance the user experience of websites, but only until now have we produced a full-fledged JavaScript application! The CSS Button Maker is a free application online that allows anyone to design cool-looking web buttons easily.
The application targets beginner to expert level web designers and developers who could benefit from some custom web creations made by his time-saving tool. Customize your button with a simple form, and the CSS Button Maker generates custom HTML and CSS for you. All you have to do is copy and paste the code into your own website, and you're done!
