I don't really do web design so much any more - I firmly have a marketing hat on these days (and it's a pretty snazzy hat, let me tell you...).

Below is an archive of previous sites I've worked on.

Radiohead

1 April 2008 / 0 Comments

It has obviously been a huge privilege to get to work on something for Radiohead, and I’m really happy with the way the site has turned out. From a technical perspective there isn’t really anything too clever going on; it uses sIFR all over the place for text, which wasn’t quite as hard as it normally is to get running.

The code to power the remixes is all custom PHP (luckily not written by me, but adapted from another project) so there isn’t anything I can point you towards on that front – hopefully it will hold up ok with the battering it will probably get today! I couldn’t see many opportunities for Microformats – I guess it could have used some hCards for remix authors and maybe hAtom for the remixes but they seemed slightly superfluous considering we only publish peoples names and no other contact details. It does, however, have an RSS feed so you can keep track of new mixes as they get uploaded.

Obviously you should all go out and have a go at making a mix yourself, but if you can’t be bothered it’s well worth checking out the Holy Fuck mix, embedded here using the natty widget we got made for the site (for that authentic viral feel):
