Looseideas is my personal website, home to my various small web experiments and amazingly tedious content about me, Ryan Mitchell.

The aim of the site is to recognise those people who make a difference here in the UK and to give them the change to carry the Olympic Torch in their area. Totally AJAX driven, integrated with the CokeZone environment. Not perfect but it's always great to work for a big brand like coke

My first opputunity to use HTML5, this unreleased project involved a large amount of CSS3 and Canvas/SVG using Raphaël. I used an event-driven programming style to allow the UI and complex visualisations to react to updates as appropriate.

Finally a chance to start afresh on the Vodafone site, my swan song on the account was to lead the creation of the front-end code for this new style. On top of the HTML and CSS there are custom jQuery plugins (using OO patterns where appropriate) and lazy loading where possible.

For this project I was coordinating and troubleshooting the integration of the new Vodafone online branding onto 17 of their domains. My aim was to apply the styles with as few changes to the HTML of existing sites as possible, doing lots of work through the CSS to make up for the inconsistency in the markup.

What a reaction! Am I mad to put it on here? Yeah probably, the HTML got mashed by the CMS and they changed the colours soon after launch. But without putting it on we'd be missing 6 weeks of my life…

This unreleased project was using web technologies to build a desktop application. Built using XUL, JavaScript, HTML and CSS.

My brothers site, he's a designer/illustrator. Carl actually has a new site, carl-mitchell.com

My three years at the ifs saw me work on various thrilling sites about financial education. Large and small, eCommerce and eLearning. In addition to the HTML, CSS and JavaScript, I was also writing Coldfusion and SQL.
