Steve Platz's E-Portfolio

Visitor Connect

Completed: Summer 2002

The Visitor Connect web site was created for a previous employer along with a few other sites that have since changed or are not accessible by the public. The site is for a product they offer that allows for web based customer service representatives.

You may notice that if you visit the site in anything other than Internet Explorer, that the navigation and possibly a few other things around the site do not look as intended. This is not because of a limitation on my HTML knowledge at the time, but simply because the employer did not require that the site render correctly in anything other than Internet Explorer.

Additionally, during the time that this site was being developed CSS was just beginning to take off and the inclusion of it in the website was something that was strived for. Because it was just coming to the forefront of web developers at that time, a lot of the hacks and tricks that are now common knowledge were simply not known at that time.

The VisitorConnect website seems to be down now, and all before I could grab a few screenshots.
