The letter ‘S’ in the logo/word mark is composed of the two Arabic letters, D and J. The artist’s name is DJ Salman which, when pronounced, has emphasis on the M and N. The traditional Arabic dots are on these letters to reinforce that, as well as emphasize the artist’s cultural background. The logo part features a typical Trance DJ pose in front of a large sound wave.

The website design was kept very clean and modern while again maintaining a certain sense of his cultural background. DJ Salman is all about sharing his passion & music with the community. It therefore seemed natural to have a strong focus on social media. The website also features a blog and a music player. Because the entire website was build on a Wordpress platform, Salman is able to perform all updates himself (even when on the road).

The website is designed to fit that same overall feel by using metal & glass textures throughout. The site is build on the Wordpress platform using a custom template built from scratch. The client is able to administer every part of the site. The site incorporates event information, race results, a live video feed, blogs from the organizers & international athletes, a live twitter feed and a photo gallery. The photo gallery is also accessible through a custom flash app built into the main banner. A custom flash countdown timer was also built and prominently featured on the website.

Designed and constructed website in conjunction with the restaurant logo. The site has a clean look, emphasizing the food visuals to wet the appetite. The warm yellow and red colour scheme has been carefully chosen, because these colours stimulate the appetite. The website runs on an ASP.Net backend and makes use of a masterpage to get a consistent look throughout the website. The menu is constructed by combining Spry with an ASP.Net sitemap file. Strict form validation occurs on the server side using ASP.Net validators.

The design also makes use of object oriented coding principles which results in reusable pieces of code. These are used, for example, to connect to the database and to provide a consistent look throughout the website. The CMS is built to be extremely robust and performs very strict server side form validation.

Recently, I have also started designing a system that allows online purchase of wall spaces in CPMS’ Memorial Gardens by veterinarians. This system is currently still in a very early alpha stage. It runs on a PHP backend that interfaces with a mySQL database.
