I closed down my contracting website (bitvolution.com) because that is not my gig anymore (and hasn’t been for a long time). I thought I’d archive the homepage and portfolio here, you know, for reasons.
The WordPress theme was original (created in-house, lol). I had open-sourced it and submitted it to the WordPress directory but alas, they didn’t accept it. More detail are at the end of the post.
Here at Bitvolution, we develop websites.
In a nutshell, that means that we sit at our computers all day punching out code for fine folk from around the world. The web is where we’re in our element! We pride ourselves in having the nerdy skills to resolve peoples ideas into websites and solve problems that come up along the way.
If you need a website, we may be able to help. We can develop and support your new site. Take a look at our portfolio of previous work and contact us if you want a quote for your new project.

Why you shouldn’t choose Bitvolution to build your site?
We are open and transparent. Unlike most other companies we don’t reserve any rights to any of the code or images used to build your site.
We know you don’t just want a website – you want a website that scratches a business itch. We’ll keep at the problem until you’re happy.
We use the latest techniques and software available. We are more agile than larger companies.
We offer a personal approach, just the two of us to interact with directly.
Our prices are very competitive. In fact, they’re cheap! (yes, we know it’s bad to use the word “cheap”, but you can see through all that right?). We don’t have office rent or a receptionist to pay – so we charge less.

This theme is a no-frills fixed-width, two-column WordPress theme. It is based on a central-page with drop-shadow.
-
Licensed under the GNU General Public License (v3).

Theme details:
-
The page content is displayed on a 940px central-page.
-
The sidebar takes up 25% of the content area (which is narrower than average).
-
This WordPress theme uses the Yahoo CSS reset and 1KB CSS grid framework.
-
The page outline drop-shadows use a single CSS sprite image – as described in this blog post.
Extra theme details:
-
The theme limits the font size in the tag cloud widget – see blog post. This is needed because the sidebar is so narrow.
