I was subcontracted to do a complete website redesign for The Ideal Mind. The website is a complete custom design built on top of WordPress as the Content Management System. This allows the end client to update and maintain all of the content.

This design is created to allow for dynamic content. It will adjust to any length of content as well as video and images, and is cross-browser compatible.

I was contracted by Marc Plouffe to design a new informational website to uniquely display his photography. It has a flash animated landing page that has 4 slide show pics that pull the media dynamically from the website allowing for easily changing and adding to the photos displayed there.

The entire site is built on top of WordPress as the Content Management System (CMS) allowing Marc to manage all of his text content himself. I built the gallery section on top of Zen Cart!(tm) allowing him to easily manage each gallery section and photos as well as selling the prints right off of the site. Payment transaction processing and shopping cart all built right in.

I was contracted by Linographics to redesign a new landing page for their sister company Clubsigns.com.

I used some of the newest up-coming seasonal poster designs I had designed for the rotating product slide show and created the custom layout you see above. The layout is cross-browser compatible, uses CSS rollover buttons and flash.

The rotating poster examples are easily updated for each season and the remainder of the website / subpages are still the original website design.

This project was brought to me by:

Ready Welder contracted me to go to Las Vegas and do an on-location photoshoot with a new off-road racer that they started a new sponsorship with, Johnson Motorsports.

I took numerous photos in 5 different locations in the desert. Then went back to the client’s residence and setup a make-shift studio in their garage to do the needed Head Shots and product shots with the racer. It was a very windy day so it required a lot of timing and luck to get the shots you see here.

I had hundreds of photos to weed through and do all color correction, enhancing and other post processing to come up with what you see here.

New Logo Design Comps for DW

I have been hired by Decorative Woodworks to do multiple different projects, one of which was to come up with a new logo that helps to brand this up and coming whole sale company. When I designed their current website, I did a large set of logo designs ( the ones you see to the right of this text ) and they were used to create the website. During a new addition to the website project, I was asked to come up with new logo ideas that would help to better brand the company with a symbol. The logos in the header here are the concepts that I came up with.

There were multiple revisions of several different logo concepts that the client liked and had me work on in more detail. The instruction was to come up with something that’s edgy similar to DC Clothing’s logo, but that would still appeal to an older audience.

MrZ’s Custom Carpentry has been a long work in progress. This project has entailed an entire website redesign, many multiple on-site photoshoots at various client locations and in their main showroom, recreating their current logo in vector format for use with a vinyl car wrap, and even a 360 virtual tour on some of the higher end project locations.

MrZ’s website is another full browser window Flash animated website. Everything you see on the site has been designed and created by me from the photography and post-processing to interactive flash site design. The main page slideshows and portfolio sections are dynamically pulled from a directory on the client’s web host. This allows the site to be easily updated just by adding new photos and content to web host and the website automatically applies it in the layout.

For International Special Attractions ( ISA ), I was hired by Edgeworks Group to design a brand new website. Edgeworks staff created a photoshop layout of the website which I took from there to what you see on the live website.

This website is built on top of WordPress with great consideration paid to SEO ( Search Engine Optimization ) and good website html practices. The website is cross-browser compatible, using CSS roll over buttons and formatting.

The landing page has an integrated full motion video given by the client and an interactive Attractions menu selection. In each of the specific Attractions sub-page, a custom Flash animated gallery carousel was created and integrated with Lightbox for the large image display.

Because I was subcontracted by Edgeworks, I am unable to maintain quality assurance once it was posted to the client’s live web host. Therefore, any issues you may find with the live website are outside of my control.
