Progressive design & development for the modern web, specializing in standards-compliant, progressively-enhanced, accessible web, using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, Ajax, PHP, MySQL, WordPress, XML, JSON, Microformats, and who knows what else.
Hi. My name is Aaron T. Grogg, and I am a professional web developer.
Welcome to my lab, where I play with HTML5, CSS3, and Microformats, trying new & different things.
As much as I love pushing the technological envelope, I do still hold strongly to the idea that pages should still work in all current browsers.
That said, this website will look differently in different browsers, but that's okay; nothing breaks, it just doesn't look identically.
Enjoy, and let me know if you have any thoughts or questions,

I have been practicing web development since 1998 and have worked on projects ranging from single-page, static websites like personal resume sites, to full-blown web applications, like conference registration websites with a back-end administration portal and payment processing.
My style is minimal: if you don't need it, I don't do it. My approach is open: if you have an idea and want to do it, I do it (although I might try to persuade you not to do it if I think it isn't the best thing for you or your project). My work is modern: I adhere to the latest standards and practices to deliver the most solid, cutting-edge, easy-to-use product possible.
