These websites are examples of the best work I have done so far. All these websites have exactly same HTML and were created by just creating a separate stylesheet for each. Hence, content was completely separated from presentation. This was a huge project where we (HTML’ers) and programmers worked together. The goal is to standardize installation of Ecommerce Partners’ shopping cart to make it easy to install and update, and reduce cost. Only time will tell if the goal is achieved or not but it was the most exciting phase of my career. I worked with two other HTML’ers by supervising and training them.
