misselhornMedia has completed a new website design: Dryclean USA, a Miami-area dry cleaning company with many locations across the greater Miami area.





The site features a store locator, some useful fabric & fashion tips & glossaries, and a Flash fabric care symbol translator. Also, it is developed on a PHP content structure that I am still in the process of refining but I’m excited about the potential of using it in the future.

If you live in the greater Miami area and are looking for a valuable dry cleaner to treat your garments, go ahead and sign up for their free pickup & delivery service. Dryclean USA does a great job and provides great value.

Please feel free to leave comments, critiques, and/or suggestions on the usability, aesthetics, or content.

misselhornMedia has recently completed a small informational website for FashionCare.

Website design features:

• Straightforward navigation
• Simple images & graphics
• Social media footer

The programming is pretty minimal, including a touch of css, javascript, and php for the contact form processing.

FashionCare is a dry cleaner certification program that ensures high quality garment care from its numerous nationwide affiliates.

Note the difference between the final design and the mockup. As you can see, some designs go through a bit of modification as the project progresses, and misselhornMedia aims to find the most suitable and effective final website design.

Please feel free to leave comments, suggestions, critiques, opinions, and/or praise.

Firefox Plugins which all work with the latest version of Firefox.

• Colorzilla – This one is great for graphic and/or web designers. Colorzilla lets you eyedropper sample any color code on any website in RGB, HSV and additional formats.
• Cooliris – If you are into graphics or photography, this is for you. Cooliris transforms your browser into a full-screen 3D wall for searching, viewing, and sharing images and graphics.
• Delicious Bookmarks – Adds buttons which allow me to easily bookmark pages to my Delicious account, which then feeds into my FriendFeed, which then posts to my Twitter.
• FoxyTunes – Adds play controls for iTunes to your browser’s status bar. Who wants to minimize their browser just to pick a new song? Now you don’t have to. Btw, if you are into the music network thing.. here are my last.fm or blip.fm profiles
• Screengrab – Does just that, in jpg or png format.
• StumbleUpon – Adds a toolbar, which I am usually not crazy about, but this one allows for very easy focused browsing of the web. You start a StumbleUpon account, enter your interests (i.e. web design, programming, and graphics) and then one-click browse away through related sites. I have my Stumble account linked to FriendFeed so I can share my “I like it!” pages via Twitter.
• Web Developer – Another toolbar yeah, I know : ( .. but suck it up (and/or disable it when not in use) Web Developer provides a great set of features for viewing html source code, dealing with forms, images, etc. However, I find the CSS editor to be extremely useful. You can split any page with css into two panes (one is the css and one is the preview), view stylesheet edits instantaneously, and then save the newly edited stylesheet. It’s really great for editing WordPress themes, or any theme for that matter.

Greasemonkey Scripts: first you download the Greasemonkey plugin.. then add the others.

• Greasemonkey – Allows you to customize the way a webpage displays using small bits of JavaScript.
• AutoPagerize – Eliminates the need to click “More”, “Next”, or any other page navigation on most websites… just keep scrolling down!
• Better FriendFeed – Displays extended user profile information on FriendFeed.
• Better Gmail 2 – (requires Greasemonkey) Enhances Gmail with a compilation of useful features like hierarchical labels, macros, file attachment icons, and more.
• Twitter Search Results - Displays recent relevant tweets in a short list before your Google search results

Here’s some stuff I found interesting and/or useful recently:

• Phpbb is a nice solution for people looking to add a forum community to their site. It is open source, highly customizable, and quick to install.
• FlashChat is a chatroom program that is fairly robust, quick and easy to setup, plus it integrates with the the phpbb user database mentioned above, saving your users from filling out two registrations.
• Fawnt provides a nice list of downloadable free fonts.
• Tutorial9 has a photoshop tutorial to help you “Design an Epic Fantasy Scene“. Perhaps you may want to make it Celtic inspired for St. Patrick’s Day.
• Spoonfed Design has a huge list of 110+ Awesome Resources for Popular Adobe Products.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day
