Cycle Chap
Cycle Chap is a local start-up bicycle accessories shop. As the first site to be launched for the business I was honored to make the concepts imagined by the client become a reality. The site has a full online store functionality and makes it easy to contact the dealer directly. The site was launched in August, and now just in September Cycle Chap has already sold several helmets. I am anxious to see what the future holds for this client! The client has been doing a great job adding and editing content using the WordPress platform used for this site. Peddle on! Lauch...
Read MoreBrad Byrd
Brad Byrd is a friend who needed a new way of branding his website as to flow with his new album released in September 2011. He requested a website that would be simple and give the most basic information about his practice as it is developing. Most importantly viewers can sample the music, get informed on his tour dates, and stay in touch with where his music is going. I am excited to be a part of it! Lauch site
Read MoreImagine an Ocean
Imagine an Ocean came to me for a redesign of their website. Having new van decals and with their business picking up, they requested the need for something more professional and viewer friendly. The site has been built with WordPress so now the client has the full ability to edit any content they may wish to change as well as continue with their blog right on the same site rather than having to edit it elsewhere and have a different platform for each site. The result was a look and feel that is now consistent with their identity....
Read MoreBoston Cheese Cellar
Boston Cheese Cellar was in need of a website that was as full-featured as their business is. To do so I brought everything they most cared for visitors to see right to the home page as well as make it as easy as possible to find what they offer. Having their address and contact info in the upper right stands out and is always there for a viewer. The new homepage shows a rotating slideshow of their cheeses, photographed by David Sokol, showing the quality of the cheese in a most desirous light. If one where to click to see more cheeses, they will find a full list of all the varieties, where they come from, how they smell, etc. These are all new features that the old...
Read MoreDevin’s Properties
Devin requested a site that would serve as his online business card. The goal was to create a simple “This is what I do, my experience, and you can call me if you’d like help finding a house”. One of the great features of this site is that a viewer can “Search MLS”, which gives the freedom to look for properties online. The site also has helpful information for home owners that want to sell their home and for tips for those looking to buy. In the end, the site is a gift to those needing help in the real estate market. Launch...
Read MoreLisa Courtney Art
Lisa discovered I too was a painter and from there it was easy to do business! She came to me with a need to showcase her art in a professional manner where the paintings would get clear attention and be easy for a viewer to browse through. We sat down and brainstormed the most obvious way to do this would to have paintings on a wall in a gallery! Sure, maybe a cliche, but if we could do it in a professional way it doesn’t really matter, some things are always good ideas…like blue jeans. So I discovered a way using jQuery and Javascript to make a gallery of rotating images. This was a gift from css-tricks.com. Chris Coyier has been one of my favorite...
Read MoreNew Life Community Church
New Life Community Church had a website that was originally build using Dot Net Nuke, but it was giving them a handful of problems. It sounded like they needed an overhaul with the CMS (Content Management System) as well as design issues solved. Having experience with Drupal in the past, I knew their robust platform was the way to go. I also provided them with a new logo design that brought their previous identity into a more modern day style. Launch...
Read MoreNew Life Fine Arts
New Life Fine Arts wanted to bring their site up to date and have all information easy to find and imagery of their productions needed more attention. Built with Drupal, the client now has the ability to update content at their choosing, which has been great for updating show times etc. The new site makes it easy to purchase their cds, see individual production slideshows and read content about all the performances. It is now easy to get involved by clicking the “Join Notification List” button in the header. Launch...
Read MoreAayan Creations
Aayan Creations is an event invitation design business that started from scratch along side the logo design and website design services offered. Because there was nothing to start with as far as identity goes, it was important to research imagery that lined up best with the business idea to show the client. The lotus flower became the winning concept and the logo was designed to capture that elegance that the client was looking for. The website design is simple, but has the complexity of patterns and colors that tie it all together. The interactive gallery, built with jQuery, is a highlight of the site that keeps viewers coming back and doing business with Aayan...
Read MoreDatamart
Datamart requested a website redesign as their site was becoming visually outdated and content was difficult for viewers to find. I provided simple design solutions such as making the website wider, gave it clear and clean navigation, and redesigned the homepage to highlight their services, testimonials, and news. The clean redesign made pages with lots of content be much more manageable for viewers. Products are also featured in a more visually pleasing way by giving sufficient space to content and imagery. We also added a tutorial video on the homepage, which was a new idea for using a screencast that we implemented. A “call to action” was offered to the...
Read MoreChambers Interiors
Chambers Interiors is a custom interior design company in Dallas, Texas. The client had a website that was difficult to navigate and the portfolio images were small. We decided on a design that would make the portfolio layout organized and easy for users to explore as well as make the images as big as possible with the space. The site is simple as it is designed to give the clients work all the attention and allow it to speak for itself. The portfolio is interactive and there are “pop-up” published articles to display Margaret Chambers’ ability to construct beautiful living spaces and be a part of the interior design dialogue. Launch site “I...
Read MoreJonathan MacAdam
My older brother Jon is a wonderful painter. It was my pleasure to make him a website for his work. It is a simple, clean, design using flash for his galleries. Because he has such a vast amount of work I chose to use flash and xml to manage each category. SlideShowPro is a helpful tool to get this done. Because there are many paintings, we decided to put them into categories, which make it easy to navigate based on interest. Launch site
Read MoreRailing Solutions
Railing-Solutions is a local start-up architecture company that came to me for logo design. With their custom service being railing design it was most obvious to use a railing in the logo somehow. Having it as the base for the “R” deemed to be the right solution.
