Hello there!
Thanks for stopping by. I wanted to take a moment and introduce myself. My name is Jeremy Buff. You may have heard about me before by coming across my personal blog. If you haven’t, then allow myself to take a moment and let you know who I am.
I am a web design and internet developer based in Orlando, Florida. For quite some time now, I have been designing websites. I first got started in the web design industry as one who was very interested in emerging marketing technologies and tactics. As a marketer, I had a website to promote myself and allow potential clients to learn about services which I offered.
At that time, I did not know much about web design. After closely examining the files which made up my website, I concluded that all of the nonsense code and funny symbols was not my cup of tea… so I went on. Eventually I began to notice my competition’s increasingly nice web designs. This bothered me- I wanted to present myself with an utmost sense of professionalism.
That’s when I forced myself to learn HTML, CSS. From then on out, my website was never lacking. I feel in love with web design- I enjoyed learning more about scripting languages, how to optimize and compress my website for speed, and how to boost my search engine rankings.
So, here I am today- a web designer, and a successful one in my own right. I’m happy where I am. I look forward to meeting you, so if you’re considering a web-related project, then clue me in and we can get to work!
In close, welcome to Deja Vu labs. Be sure to check the blog often; there will be plenty of cool posts and links.

I ran across your website in a CSS gallery today. Just thought I'd stop by and say that the site look pretty slick. I love the minimal look of things, and I think you pulled off the use of #000 where many others have failed.
My only question is…. why did you not style the comment form like your contact and request a proposal pages? The forms on those pages are very, very nice, easy to use, and I really think the CSS3 you added to them (gradients, in particular) make them pop. I think people would be more likely to comment if the form wasn't so white down here.. it's almost too bright, if you know what I mean. All in all, excellent work. I have sent you my contact information for networking purposes.
Hi William, thank you very much for the nice words. The reason that this form is not really styled the same as the other contact forms on this site is because I am using a commenting system referred to as Intense Debate. Unfortunately, it does not allow for me to style the textareas… even with !important declarations.
I am hoping they will add new styling abilities as a feature update in the near future. I'll keep on the lookout for your email, my friend. Thanks for commenting :)
Hey, great article.
Thank you :)
I must say, I love your site. Could let me know how I can keeping up to date with it?
Thank you very much. You'd like to keep up with my site, meaning, my blog posts? If this is so, then feel free to subscribe to the RSS feed. If that's not what you meant, let me know. Thanks :)
I wish more people would write blogs like this that are actually helpful to read. With all the fluff floating around on the net, it is a great change of pace to read a blog like yours instead.
Well thank you very much, hopefully it will get more interesting over time..
Great and clean website you have! I have created a new site, if you are interested in DSi Game BitTorrents you will probably digg it! the address is [URL blocked by admin] NO registration required
Thank you very much for the compliment, I really appreciate it. Good luck with your new website. I did block the URL, however, because of the nature of the website. 95% of the time, BitTorrents are used for illegal purposes, and that percentage is even higher for games. In any event, good luck, and let's hope everything stays legal.
