The Delphi Source was a company website for a group of independent consultants who have worked extensively with the Delphi programming language.

A simple website was required, with an overview of the company and a contact form; I opted for a one page design to fit with the content. A navigation bar at the top makes the page 'slide' to the correct secton, aiding the user in finding content.

Wordpress plugins for buildsheet.com

Buildsheet is a community driven web site, featuring blog-based views into the garages and minds of the country's best hot rod and custom car builders, community photo and video galleries, reader published features and more.

For buildsheet.com I created three major wordpress plugins:

  1. Custom fields Signup plugin - Allows admin to ask additional meta foliormation at user signup, such as earnings and age etc. All data is stored in the database, and can even be exported to Microsoft Excel using the plugin! See the form it shows via the signup page.
  2. Readers rides plugin - Allows users to add meta foliormation about their cars, and even upload images. It allows people to browse these cars and rate them accordingly. Everything to do with readers rides is handled by the plugin. See the front end of the plugin on the readers rides page.
  3. Car videos plugin - Allows users to upload videos via videoegg straight into buildsheet. These videos are browsable and can be rated. See the front end of the plugin on the videos page.
