The development process for cookepictures.com was very similar to philcooke.com. The only complicated part was the portfolio section. I couldn't find any nice image viewers that would work with a mix of photos and videos, so I started with the Javascript ImageBox code (part of the jQuery Interface collection) and I wrote my own. I've continued to make improvements to the code and now I'm using it on this site as well. Clean code is very important to me so I pretty much rewrote ImageBox from the ground up. ImageBox was using a bunch of global Javascript variables and hard to follow DOM manipulations that made editing the code difficult. I also fixed the bugs that prevented it from working in Opera 9+ and Safari 2.
