Mike Bucks. Will Work For Money.

I'm Mike. I make web sites.

...More specifically I do design, CSS, and (X)HTML. I enjoy beautiful code, thoughtful interactions, clear copy, and inspired design. I'm an interactive designer/developer at CP+B Group where I'm trying to make the internet a magical place. Drop me an email if you'd like to talk.

What I do and who I am.

Designer/Developer mashup - I split my time evenly between Photoshop and Coda. I have an intimate understanding of browser quirks, (X)HTML, CSS, the DOM and how to manipulate it, and the graceful degradation of designs across browsers. Currently, I'm salivating over the state of the HTML 5 spec. I strongly advocate web standards, but appreciate and respect motion and rich interactivity. Want to know more about me? Check out my Twitter, Flickr, Last.fm, or Posterous.

  "Country club meets web 2.0" was the design brief for Niblink, a place for private golf members to connect and exchange course invites. I am undertaking the design, interaction, and CSS/(X)HTML for this web app slated to launch in January 2010. Currently in development.

  Lijit

  I was the designer/front-end developer for Lijit, a search engine and ad platform for bloggers, for 15 months. I had the pleasure of contributing to an extremely high visibility product and learning more about browser inconsistencies than I ever thought possible. Original site no longer online.
