h2. Simplist

I found most content management systems way too complicated for most things I needed to do, so I built my own. It's built with Ruby on Rails, and is made for what most people need: an easy way to publish content.

	&lt;p&gt;Myers Development Studio is the home for the freelance projects of &lt;a href="/about"&gt;Larry Myers&lt;/a&gt;. Larry is passionate about developing web applications with &lt;a href="http://www.rubyonrails.com"&gt;Ruby on Rails&lt;/a&gt; and using &lt;a href="http://www.webstandards.org/"&gt;web standards&lt;/a&gt; to make websites that are elegant and easy to maintain. He&amp;#8217;s always open to new ideas for collaborating with others on projects.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;h1&gt;What I Do&lt;/h1&gt;


	&lt;h2&gt;Custom Application Development&lt;/h2&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;The following list is where Larry focuses his coding efforts. He loves the fact that web applications make it easier for regular people to use the web. He is particularly interested in finding ways to make it easy for people to publish content on the web and reach as large an audience as possible.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Content Management Systems&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Podcasts&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;E-Commerce&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Weblog software&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Online newsletters&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Mailing lists&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;RSS&lt;/span&gt; Feeds&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ul&gt;


	&lt;h2&gt;Web Design&lt;/h2&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Web design is more than just flashy graphics. Larry focuses on clean, usable designs based around readability, easy navigation, and consistent branding. He is a strong proponent of using web standards to avoid the pitfalls of tag soup and spaghetti code.&lt;/p&gt;</html>
