About Aloe Studios

I’m Andy Ford and Aloe Studios is my tiny web design company in Sacramento, California, USA. I’m a front-end engineer for Blue River Interactive Group and have also been doing small freelance front-end projects since February of 2007.

Aloe Studios is currently taking on a limited amount of sub-contract work for select clients. If you need your beautifully designed web site or web app faithfully converted to hand crafted HTML, CSS & jQuery with pixel precise attention to detail, please get in touch.

When I’m not hacking my tools, hacking my workflow, creating new tools, or organizing my code; I enjoy spending time with my wife, hanging out with friends, watching NBA basketball, drawing, working in the garden, and gallivanting around to Northern California’s many scenic places.

I can also be found on Twitter, Delicious and StumbleUpon or all rolled into one on FriendFeed.

About This Site

This website runs on WordPress. The theme was was designed in Photoshop and implemented using Starkers as a starting point. The HTML was written in TextMate and the CSS was written in CSSEdit (hacked) although a ton of CSS was first conceived in FireBug. xScope aided the front-end implementation as did the home baked EmChart. And Transmit got the files where they needed to go while DropBox made them available in multiple places.
