The Work of Joshua Tuscan, Esquire.
I make websites with tender loving care. It's what I enjoy. Those things that make the difference, that is where I spend my time. The details, the craftsmanship. Below are samples to peruse. Poke around a bit, stay a while. If you like what you see, drop me a line and grab a copy of my cv. If you get bored with this stuff, check out my blog or follow me on twitter.
Threadbox - presentation layer development (solo)
This build included my first commercial use of Cufon for font replacement in the headings. Tried sifr first, but was way more impressed with Cufon. This build works perfectly in every single browser!

Gorlochs - site development (solo)
Opened up a can of the funky stench of rock -n- roll on this build. Everything you see was developed by yours truly. Tons of JQuery work here for animations and interface functionality. Used some APIs to pull info. Lots of tricky layout work, and of course, view source/turn off CSS is beautiful.

Millipore - client-side development (solo)
Full site template build geared towards flexibility the ability to hand off to outside programming team. I took pains to develop this one in such a way as to be easily translated into the eight languages that Millipore needs their site to be displayed in. I then did a month of consulting with Millipore's in-house development team to convert the templates into their working Java and JSP version. (Not yet live)

Schools for Schools, Invisible Children - client-side development (solo)
I had a lot of fun with this one. Invisible Children wanted to create a fundraising site with social networking features from the ground up. I was in charge of the client-side development on my own, and it was my first time working with a rails generated site. Take some extra time to look around this one, it's well crafted and there are a lot of nifty features and functionality.

adidas Golf - client-side development (solo)
Full site built in 4 days of development. adidas Golf's redesign for 2007 switched to a white theme and a cleaner, more sparse look. Enjoyed putting together the top navigation and the footer in particular. The media section is worth a look.
Team Redbull - client-side development (solo)
Full site for NASCAR's Team Red Bull driver AJ Allmendinger. We added a rather excellent feature called "Ask AJ." Users can submit serious or ridiculous questions, AJ will respond, and all questions that get answered are posted live on the site. Just imagine what comes out of a NASCAR driver's head.
Invisible Children - client-side development
Standards based code with lots of Flash integration. A strong focus on CMS content integration.
Vizio - client-side development
Complete redesign of the Vizio site to showcase their product line. Lots of collaboration on a short timeline. Check out the FAQ section for a nifty Javascript animated question system.
KPBS - client-side development
A massive overhaul of the KPBS site. This behemoth uses just about every technology out there. I got into Smarty templates to a deeper extent, streaming video, Subversion, Wordpress, Ajax, Podcast embedding, and much more.

CBS Press Express - client-side development
CBS's site for press information. This site was a lesson in organizational skills and global css classes. Many similar pages, but different shades and variations depending on what section you are currently in.
