One of my most extensive projects, this World of Warcraft fan/gaming site incorporates a custom-built framework I built from scratch, written in PHP5 (OOP) and MySQL. The framework itself takes advantage of the MVC approach, which allowed me to take most of the controllers and models and use them on this very portfolio! Functionality from the framework incorporated in the site includes user authentication, form validation and error handling, as well as a number of other custom PHP libraries.

The site itself incorporates some graphics from World of Warcraft in the header and footer. The front-end is coded using XHTML (and CSS of course), built to be compatible with all modern browsers (Firefox, IE7+, Safari, Opera, etc.). I chose not to support IE6 simply because the added time spent adding PNG support would not have been a valuable trade-off for the extremely small number of individuals who would be visiting it using IE6.

Additionally, while the site uses javascript and jQuery for dropdowns and content sliders, support is provided allowing users with more conservative security settings to have the same functionality as those who have javascript enabled.

Features a custom-built commenting and user management system allowing users to change settings, add content to blog posts and upload their own avatars.
