Common Questions

The obligatory FAQ, for your convenience

What is a 'Skyrocket Labs'?

It's a blog and resource depot for web designers and developers, focusing on a mix of tips, articles, original tools and promotion of others in the online community. I like to think that we're a little more than a place for nerds to come grab some code and links. Skyrocket Labs is located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Read the about page for deets.

Are you available for freelance work?

Due to other commitments, I'm not currently accepting requests for work. If you are looking for someone to help build your web site, feel free to contact me and we'll recommend someone who may be a perfect fit for your needs.

Can I use any of your jQuery plugins or templates for my project?

That's what they're there for! Enjoy!

I need some assistance with one of your creations. Can you help a fella out?

Unfortunately, I'm unable to provide support for any of the tools we offer due to other commitments.

Are your templates all cross-browser compatible?

Each one of our templates has been tested on Firefox, Chrome, IE 7 & 8, Safari and Opera. Note that, for sanity reasons, I do not bother testing in IE6. That browser's dead to me.

Can I get my listing added to your Community section?

Absolutely. Submit your request and I'll take it from there.

I posted a comment on one of your articles but it's not there. What up?

I moderate all comments posted on the blog and some comments may take a little time to be approved and posted. I'd love to automate the process but dealing with spambots and trolls would take up too much of my time.

What CMS are you using for your site?

I originally used Wordpress but since the last redesign I employed a custom solution.

What languages did you use to build your site?

XHTML, CSS(3), XML, PHP/MySQL, Javascript and jQuery.
