This website is a copyrighted prototype created utilizing SIMD, Strategy
for Integrated Modular Design, and RaWPaDS, the Rapid Website Prototyping
and Deployment System. SIMD is a design tool, written in PHP, enabling
rapid website prototyping and deployment. SIMD is driven by a
conceptual understanding of what makes a website function properly and how
expansion can be achieved without undermining or disrupting existing
infrastructure. RaWPaDS is the embodiment of SIMD —
the physical collection of programmed modules and templates that enables
websites to be cloned, thereby enabling the rapid deployment for
which SIMD is intended.
Both SIMD and RaWPaDS have been released to production. I am presently
“tweaking” some of the templates as I experiment with
tableless CSS. I will be adding content to this site as time goes on to
describe features and functionality available with this system.
Although content is sparse, please take note of the fact that this is a
fully functional website. Everything works. SIMD and
RaWPaDS can be used to deploy websites ranging in size from a
single page to hundreds of pages within a brief timespan. This is possible
because the system is designed from the top down, meaning that
every web page generated is woven into a tightly-knit superstructure that
encompasses the entire website or websites. (Yes, SIMD can actually
be used to span multiple domains. Our five
Ten
Spider websites are designed in this manner, interlocked with a
common menu system.)
Use the Next Page button at the bottom of each page to navigate in
