Successful Sites Portfolio for Successful Sites, St Andrews

During a 6 week work placement I worked for Successful Sites, based in St Andrews. During this time I took mock-ups of their own portfolio site and coded it up completely. There was a lot of advanced JavaScript involved, including animated footers, fade in boxes and a work slider, all written using jQuery. I also used Ajax to pull in their employee's most recent tweets. Finally, I created a PHP script to handle external links. You can see this in action by clicking here.
