Welcome to redradar.net, the online home of Kelly Dwan. I’m a web developer & my passion is WordPress (though I’m learning to work with Drupal). I write themes and plugins, and I co-run a local WordPress meetup & web conference. You can find information about both (and more) at my blog.
Featured Post
Valley Summit 2012
VS is a community-focused web conference, started in 2011 & run by Mel Choyce and myself. The site is run on WordPress, and has custom functionality including two twitter feeds, a custom post type for speakers, and registration functionality (once open).
Smith College Libraries
I worked with the libraries at Smith from 2006-09, so when they came to gravityswitch to redesign the site, I was excited to work with them again. The site is built on Drupal, most of my work was on functionality. Among other things, I created a custom calendar to coordinate the hours for the 5 libraries, and used Chosen to create a subject dropdown based on Drupal’s menu system.
Communicate Health
Communicate Health is a health literacy & design company who was looking for something interesting to have at conference booths. I worked with them to create a small website displaying a twitter feed for the conference, an embedded presentation of their work, and a poll. The poll question was displayed on an iPad so that visitors to the booth could vote, and the results display (which was projected in the booth) automatically updated.
The Memory Palace
Mira Bartók came to skytemple looking for a site that emphasized the visual aspects of her book, The Memory Palace. The site is a simple WordPress site, the emphasis went towards creating a parallax effect and a javascript-based opening animation.
