Welcome to the portfolio website of RJ Jewell. I am a graduate of Pittsburgh Technical College, where I earned an Associate in Science Degree in Multimedia Technologies with a concentration in Web Design and Development. This site was created to show the web projects that best display my abilities as a front-end developer.

It was at West Virginia Northern Community College that I got interested in web. I took an HTML class, thinking it was just another class that I had to take in order to get through Northern. However, after a while I became really interested in the class. The concept of a single piece of code doing a lot inspired me and made me want to pursue a web career.

I am proficient in CSS and HTML code languages and I have a working knowledge of JavaScript. I work well individually but I also work well with a team and will do everything I can to make valuable contributions to each and every project. This is an exciting time for me, as I break into the dynamic field as a front-end web developer. Let me know what you think of my work.

My Projects

ORDERUP PICKUP Takeout App

Talent Showcased: Design, Client-side Development, Markup

Objective: Promote and sell food.

Target Audience: Teenagers, young adults, adults, and parents.

Highlights:

  • ‣ This browser-delivered mobile app was carefully designed for both landscape and portrait orientations. Make sure that you experience both orientations to see the differences in layout.
  • ‣ The sequence of screens was carefully designed to help users smoothly and painlessly order their food, from the unmistakable start button on the home screen to the clickable food options that all have visuals as well as text.
  • ‣ Red and blue were chosen as the two main hues because they both give off a sense of fun and cheer.
  • ‣ The striped gaps in the ORDER UP PICK UP logo resemble tire marks, fitting with the concept of customers driving to pick up their meals.
  • ‣ When the user clicks the Add To Tray button on one of the food choices, JavaScript stores the choice in localStorage, and updates the Your Meal area to show the appropriate graphic, text, price, and the total amount owed. The user is also given controls to remove items from their tray whenever they want.

Armed Forces Expo Website

Talent Showcased: Design, Markup

Objective: Promote a convention for military recruiting.

Target Audience: Teenagers, young adults, adults, and parents.

Highlights:

  • ‣ Arriving on the home page, the user immediately sees multiple saluting soldiers move up, to immediately communicate the discipline and patriotism that will come from being recruited in the military.
  • ‣ Because there are multiple recruiting presentations by various branches of the armed forces at different times, a schedule was developed in table form. So that the information could be presented by itself on smaller screens, a "Schedule" link was created that brings the table sliding over the page as a curtain menu.
  • ‣ The colors of the page design were chosen because they match the colors used in the uniforms of various U.S. military branches.

Jason's Writer's Blog

Talent Showcased: Familiarity with Frameworks, Front-end Development

Objective: Give the site owner a public forum to review books and to give writing advice.

Target Audience: Teenagers and adults.

Highlights:

  • ‣ WordPress was used for this site because of its built-in content management system, making it easy for the blog owner to make new pages and posts.
  • ‣ A custom theme was coded by hand using PHP, HTML, and CSS, to allow control over the responsive page structure and visual style. The color scheme of blues and oranges give the site a calm and inviting appearance.
  • ‣ The User Registration plugin was installed in the site so that people who register in the site can respond to posts and help build an online community.
