Welcome to Mike Kleiman's Site, check out the blog EmailElement

There's alot that goes into making a website. From concept to code, design to database, wireframe to website and everything in between. I can appreciate all the parts because I've played all the roles, but I've settled on one passion... UI Development. How users interact with information is what drives me, what gets me up in the morning and what keeps me going well into the evening. My other passion, oddly enough, is standards based coding. Notice the three logos on the bottom of the left column? Those are there to let you know that this site is validated XHTML 1.0 Transitional code, validated CSS 2.0 code and finally validated for accessibility and Section 504 using Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 1.0 AAA. This might sound like gibberish to some, but it's my goals to make the web a better, simpler, easier place to browse for all.

With all that in mind, I've tried to give you a sense of the thought process that goes into making a website and how I design interfaces by using this site as an example. Remeber the days back in high school math when you had to show not only the answer, but how you got there? Well this website is the visual representation of that stipulation. Use the tabs along the left to switch between the final site version and my working draft.

Cheers,
Michael Kleiman
