Precise

Your website is frequently the critical first impression of your group. Creating a functional and elegant user interface is a top priority for all iplusfour-developed sites.

Responsive

In order for all users have a positive experience, our sites are designed for use on a variety web browsers and modern devices, from large monitors to phones.

Scientific

Not many web developers have a PhD in biochemistry. This makes iplusfour uniquely suited to develop a site or application for your scientific group, lab, department, or school.

Me

I'm a biochemist by training, and have also been making websites for over 10 years.

I got interested in doing web development because simple applications can really help out with some onerous lab management tasks like keeping track of reagents, having updated protocols, posting new publications, and managing teaching materials.

I've designed a number of registration websites for various clients (see projects below), as well as several personal websites.

I'm currently located in Vancouver, B.C.

Technologies

iplusfour websites are built on modern, open-source web technologies.

For dynamic sites I prefer Flask, the flexible microframework written in Python.

Static sites are a hand-built mixture of HTML5, CSS, and a sprinkling of javascript.

Layouts are based on Skeleton for responsive design that functions well on any device.

Hosting is on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, which provides excellent value, availability, and server control.
