The always-popular geekspiff.com. It's hosted on a linux box running PHP and before that, was hosted on a different linux box running Zope. Quite a bit of content didn't survive the transition between the two scripting systems.

Anyway, I did all of the design and coding on OS X in Photoshop & BBEdit (and a tiny bit in Illustrator and GraphicConverter). When I began, I used Interarchy to move stuff around, then used BBEdit for awhile - now I use ncftp.

Also, http://www.paulmcdermand.com. All of the design and testing was done on OS X running PHP, mySQL and phpMyAdmin locally (which rox). Tested in Chimera, IE, IE Classic, Mozilla, Netscape Classic, Omniweb & iCab. Then, I tested it on Windows and discovered the Win IE KeepAlive + SSL bug, adding about a month to my development time.

There's one more that I've done all on OS X, but it's still a work-in-progress, so I can't publish the URL.

I must say that the new header is MUCH better! It's more visually pleasure. Glad to see that you are taking suggestions after all

I wrote a PHP web site to allow access to iTunes, iCal, Addressbook, Terminal, and the VNC desktop. My rendition of a "What's Playing On My iTunes" page is this:

Here is my company's site:

http://www.ampcast.com/

It runs on a few MacOS X Servers and was all designed on Mac OS X. We serve about 70,000 pages (not counting images and music) a day for a total of about 3TB of data a month.

I did all the backend programmming in PHP, MySQL, and Apache.

Actually, nobody suggested anything. I changed it because of a certain client I didn't want seeing it since I used the same image for their site

Built with TextEdit. Hosted on Linux. notyourtypical.com

It only displayes properly in a Gecko-based browser, due to the gratuitous use of the CSS2 selector 'position:fixed;'.

I taught myself how to do PHP MySQL and how to install Apache - MySQL - and PHP from source code under OSX.

I build the member system, mailing list and the general site pages for these site, using MySQL PHP. While another guy, using his iMac build the Article Database, also in PHP. All was tested and developed locally before being ported without problems to a Linux Zeus server.

http://www.dalcross.com

http://www.sydneyneurospine.com

I also worked for a company here in OZ, that had the contract to build the Microsoft web-site. (I am glad to say I am no longer with them) Many of their flash banners and advertising where build by their designers on Ti-Books using Flash on Mac OSX. Even when the company provided them with the top of the line P4 from MS to use, they still used their Ti-Books running Mac OSX.

Most of the .NET ads you see online were build on OSX by this company.

I am currently building my own web-site in JSP and Java Servlets, way cool.

I love the X.

My personal website.

Built with BBEdit (and vim), and Photoshop for the header image. The weblog is powered by MovableType.

I love that splash page comic.

Looked through the sites, and as i thought, except dalcross.com website, most look bleak and with washed out colors, esthetically drained out. With bad input response of mouse or keys in OSX and its messed color management, its no wonder that you cant do good graphic job in OS X.

I worked on this site for a couple months as it has tons of content. All the design was done in PhotoShop in X and later Fireworks and Dreamweaver/Flash.

Also I did this one a couple weeks ago for a friend. I had to do the whole thing in less then 3 days...

My personal site hasn't been touched in a while since I stopped paying my ISP and haven't gotten a server to transfer it to so I can point the URL there.

Anyway, I am proud of it and can't wait to do a redesign in PHP when I am able to.

It's http://www.jasoco.com

In response to those who say that only dismal, grey sites are made on a Mac...

I give you a shiny new dismal grey page.

I've been reworking my website for the fictional town of Clebin.

I have to get my, er, distinctive cartoons and Java games back up, but I think the new site is quite pretty looking.

http://www.clebin.com

I'm afraid this isn't a 'real' website as the original poster put it - I can't afford proper hosting for JSP/J2EE, much as I'd love it.

A big motivator at the moment is to help me find another job, so any comments & suggestions would be appreciated!

Not a personal site per se, but:

http://www.walrusgroup.com

Built entirely in OS X w/ DW/Flash/Text Edit, P-Shop of course. Will be moving hosting over to X as soon as we migrate the old databases out of MS SQL.


Color is X has indeed been a bit strange. 10.0 defaulted to SRGB on my book initially, then 10.1 went to an "LCD" setting which really washed everything out. I keep resetting it back to SRGB which seems to be a happy medium. The big problem with using the default color settings (for LCD, at least) is that if you ramp things up so that they're vibrant in X on that setting, they're tremendously oversaturated on the PC side. SRGB tends to produce the Mac to PC Gamma shift difference I'm used to...

Many good sites here. Here is mine. Heavy use of CSS 2, beware of IE while browsing at it. (IE Mac compatibility may improve in the future)

HTML coded in Project Builder that I somewhat integrated with HTML Tidy to correct and validate my XHTML and uploaded by sitecopy (a command line ftp site uploader). All I have to do is to write and then hit the build button in PB.

you spelled design wrong:

The company I do most of my work for have Windows hosting which means I have to use ASP + Access/SQL Server (urrgghh). Finally got them to buy some UNIX hosting so now I can do the PHP/MySQL thing for work as well as fun. I'm a Sun Certified Java Programmer but JSP hosting is way too expensive.
Nothing to see, move along.
