Lil Regie's Workshop & Website

Lil Regie had a design done by Tim James for their new site, and they wanted a CMS-powered website to go with it. So I set about making a pattern library, which we called Lil Regie's Front-end Workshop. The Workshop included a static representation of the homepage, which was later used in their live site.
