Welcome to Yitwail's Portfolio

This Joomla 1.5 website is closely patterned after an actual Joomla 1.0 website by a reputable, local web development firm. Please test drive it and send me an email if there are any questions*. You can see my resumé elsewhere on the site, but I'll tell you upfront that I am just an aspiring web developer at this point. (That's why I've directed you to a simulated production website instead of a portfolio of actual sites.) On the other hand, I'm an old, former silicon valley peon with a ton of application design experience.

The scrolling marquee on the right is a Joomla module, and the Gallery Demo and Contact web pages are created by a Joomla component. I designed the module and the component to recreate the main features of the site I'm mimicking. (The Gallery and the Contact should probably be separate components, but creating Joomla 1.5 components is a fair amount of work so I combined the two to save a little time.)

I also have a companion website under construction that will look exactly like this one, except that it will be a regular (ie. non-Joomla) dynamic website that achieves the same functionality using only HTML, PHP, and JavaScript.

*I can answer one question you may have even without your email. My domain name is pronounced white whale. I'm fond of both Moby Dick and belugas, although belugas are closer to dolphins than whales, I believe.
