This is a new site created for the purpose of displaying information.
It has a full-featured content management system and even in image gallery for all
of their projects. It's creative design and unique presence keeps visitors interested.
|
      My most edgy design yet! This site has a real emphasis on letting
the visitor know that they have unlimited choices for products and designs. The
introduction video brings the visitor in and in a very short time it teaches them
what 1PromotionalProducts is all about.
|
      This site is my very first review site. The site is very colorful
and vibrant to help attract its visitors. It also features a full featured rating
system; on this site you rate business ideas using apples. The unique feature of
the Chevtek Rating System is that each vote is tracked individually and a number
of different reports can be generated because of this. For instance, how many people
rated an idea 3 stars last month. You can get very specific and gather plenty of
data to help your business along.

      This project was a lot of fun. It is simple, elegant, and professional.
I took some time with the flash introduction and it really brings to light the intention
of the company and makes visitors feel welcome and comfortable.
|
      This is my largest project to date! I have been working on this
for almost a year and I'm finally ready to display it here in my portfolio. It will
always be growing and changing as a large community website, but it is finally ready
to be called a finished product. It's slick, it's fast, and it does everything from
blogs, to forums, to community profiles! Check it out! This site is filled with
all sorts of functionality and community tools for business owners. I am very proud
of this project and I would love to make one for you I can be just as proud of!

      This project was done for a women's expo in Idaho Falls. It is
a very unique and creative site with a content management system so that they can
update content anytime they want. Editing content in with our built in content management
system is just as easy as it is to edit a word document.
|
      This project is representative of a purely informational site
with content management built in and a fully functional blog. It's creative style
makes it unique and easy on the eyes.

      Georgia eye doctor Edward Ford needed to upgrade his online image.
I provided him with a sleek and comfortable design while maintaining all the valuable
information his old website contained.
|
      This has been one of my more exciting projects! The creative juices
began flowing because the unique old west atmosphere and theatrical direction was
inspiring and made it easy to have some fun. This site is purely informational with
the exception of the ability to order tickets online and sign up for the monthly
newsletter. The real magic happens behind the curtains when the owner decides to
log in and change the content.
      When it's time to update content all the owner has to do is click
the little red button in the bottom right. Once they provide a username and password
some new features begin to crop up all over the site. From the ability to edit the
four hotspots on the home page, to the hi-tech newsletter "preview-and-send" software.
The site includes the ability to add shows dynamically so that customers can always
buy tickets online. An administrator could manage coupon codes and change ticket
prices all with the click of a button. Anywhere you can edit content there is a
highly sophisticated content box that allows the administrator to interact with
it the way you would any word processor! No fumbling with complicated HTML code
like even popular sites like Myspace force you to do!
      In addition to all those little goodies the site does something
pretty amazing all on its own without any user interaction whatsoever. Every December
the site goes festive and dresses itself up for Christmas. Snow begins to fall,
the banner changes, and content becomes surrounded by Christmas lights. All of that
happens on its own and then turns off again on December 26th, slipping back into
its trusty old western image. Just imagine what that could do for you own site!
It would look alive and buzzing with activity. You would impress visitors with your
dedication to your image. The best part is that it doesn't have to be just Christmas;
we can do this for all seasons of the year! We can even set up your website to change
its appearance for one single day out of the whole year if you like. With your own
website the possibilites are endless!

      For this site I wanted only the best results for the budget alotted.
I sat down and drew up a concept. No more than 24 hours later I already had a plan
and was into development. This site is a very simple design and unique color scheme,
but it is a great example for a couple reasons. It is a typical informational layout
with a twist. Do you see the little "F" logo in the bottom right corner? That is
a button that allows the owner to log in and edit all of his content. The owner
can change the home page summary, add/edit/delete services and job postings dynamically,
post to their company blog, and even place new ads on the home page, all with a
few mouse clicks.
      This website has a particularily unique feature that was requested.
They wanted their home page to appear to be active even when nobody was home. I
built in an automatic image rotator that cycles an image on the home page every
three days. They have the ability to log in at any time and upload new images or
delete old ones from the list the rotator chooses from. This combined with the company
blog is a good way to make your site look active. I can't say enough how much a
blog helps generate traffic to your website. If you're making genuinely helpful
posts on your blog and you're making them often, then it will only be a matter of
time before other bloggers start linking to them and helping to generate more traffic.
This website, while simple, is a powerful tool for Ford's Cleaning and I am proud
to have developed it.

      PLSpaces.com is a website I was building for a company that finished
basements in homes. They wanted a simple informational site and really liked the
way Chevtek.com was put together. A good way into development the company had some
financial trouble and went out of business. Instead of throwing all my work away
I decided to showcase it here so that you may see an example of a very simple informational
site. This particular sample has some issues as it was never finished; the gallery
page is non-existent and the home page is filled with a quick summary of the project
because there was nothing there. This site is a good example of what simple text
and well placed images can do. It's not much, but one thing you might find interesting
is the "Free Estimate" page. It can be found through the "Contact Us" tab on the
navigation bar. There is a link that takes you to a page to input your information
as the visitor. It is designed to gather the visitor's information and email it
to the company's customer service department where they could then contact the customer.
This is much like our "Get A Quote" tab on our own navigation bar. As I said, they
really liked our layout and wanted to mimic it. You do not have to do that. I have
a variety of common layouts that I can do or we can discuss a completely unique
layout that you may have in mind already.

      An adventurous twenty year old came to me in search of a way to
express himself and his interests. He already had a blog on a third party blog site
but it looked the same as everyone else's. He just wanted something simple yet unique
where he could post about his outdoor adventures.
      This site may look simple, but if you pay attention there is actually
a good amount of functionality. A content management system is the essence of a
blog site and the ability to log in is built right in. All he has to do is click
"login", type in his username and password, and he can post, edit, and delete blogs.
You can't see it on this site, but he even has the ability to post private blogs
that nobody can see but himself. That's not all though. Visitors can register and
get their own usernames; they can post comments beneathe each blog and interact
with the author. All of his blogs are paged for easy reading and scrolling. The
site even shows a summary of the blog on the front page so you can get an idea of
what it's about before you actually view it.
      This is a perfect example of a fully functional personal blog
and I can build one for you no problem. It doesn't have to look the same as this
one, but you get the idea. Sweet, simple, and easy to read. Great way to talk about
current events in your life without having to sign up for blogspot or myspace!
