About TheJames
JamesZambon.com is an experimental personal design and development umm… journal? (ok, fine a blog). Things change here frequently, from the design and layout to the way that I post things. I had run this site for several months as purely a personal and somewhat private log of my life and ideas. Until it came to my attention rather abruptly that many more people than I thought actually frequented this site. So while some of the entries here may contain my opinions I want to point out that these are only my opinions and do not reflect that of anyone else and do not reflect that of any business entity with whom I may be affiliated.
You will find things here that are of interest to me and quite possibly only to me. I have a very extensive collection of images, some of which are mediocre at best but some I am quite proud of. And some you must become privileged enough to get a password from me to view.
About me
James Zambon is a Photographer Paramedic, Web Designer & Developer, Triathlete and generally nice guy (if I do say so myself). I grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana and moved to the Tampa Bay, FL area in 1993 where I currently reside.
I have done many things throughout my life from Construction and dishwasher to Lifeguard. I began designing websites in late 1999 when I got my feet wet with version 4.7 of Mozilla (Netscape). It was neat for the time, but almost embarrassing to show now. From there I have gone on to work on many unique web projects. Some of these include intranet applications and collaborative documentation projects in addition to general business websites. Beginning in early 2004 my design and development has switched over almost completely to XHTML (Strict) CSS based, standards compliant design. This has many benefits to me and my clients including faster page load speeds as well as lower bandwidth costs. In addition to this I make every attempt to build completely accessible websites as recommended by the US Govt. accessibility (section 508) standards. This is a constant exercise because new techniques are developed each day.
