As a web designer and developer since 1996, I've created and updated web sites for a varied clientel. The web sites shown here highlight the design features and technologies I've used to create engaging and informative web sites. Every web site is a collaboration between designer and owner, whether the owner is Aviva or Sony or Adidas. I strive to create websites that reflect their owners and purpose, that are professional-looking, that are easy to read, and that are easy to navigate.
Austin Samaritans
The Austin Samaritans website is powered by Vine Type with clear navigation and clean lines. The extensive footer shows several photos via Flickr integration.
Bill Flood
This is no cookie-cutter real estate agent site. Bill Flood's elegant, upscale, classic website was designed to appeal to discerning and upscale real estate sellers and purchasers. Easy administrative features allow the client to maintain his own property inventory.
Stafford-Hollander Family Dentistry
Bright and refreshing describes the feel of the website for Drs. Stafford and Hollander, Family Dentists. The office staff is outgoing and friendly -- and this is reflected in the site as well. Custom animation for before and after photos provides a unique and dramatic way to demonstrate current dental techniques. Powered by Vine Type.
First Christian Presbyterian Church of Pryor
The website of First Christian Presbyterian Church of Pryor, Oklahoma is relaxed and inviting, polished but welcoming. The home page imagery reinforces the church name and contains a sidebar to advertise important announcements and upcoming events. It also is powered by Vine Type.
Haynes & Doyle Elyria Law Firm
Haynes & Doyle Attorneys wanted a professional internet presence for their law firm practice, with an emphasis of their hometown of Elyria, Ohio. The custom imagery of the old courthouse will be instantly recognizable as a legal symbol, and that of Elyria itself.
I added special touch by displaying a different "post card" photo for each season as the year passes.
Lost Creek Municipal Utility District
Another of my Vine Type powered websites is maintained by MUD staff using the administrative features of Vine Type.
The clean, crisp design keeps a business-like tone, and the extended footer provides access to the site's most popular destinations quickly and assuredly.
Metro Computer Resources
The Metro Computer Resources site was built with clean lines and a bright promotional banner. This should catch the eye of anyone needing computer repair in Lorain County Ohio.
Michael J Camera, esq
Bold graphics reassure visitors that they are at a law firm site, that of Attorney Michael J Camera, based in Lorain, Ohio. Attorney Camera's site sets a professional tone and offers visitors additional information on legal rulings.
Shields Legislative Associates
Sophisticated design for a powerful Texas Lobbyist, Brad Shields. Symbols of Texas provide a stately backdrop to this Vine Type powered website. Includes an interactive Google Map to the firm's office.
Tracy Lockhart
Colorful and friendly describes food historian and author Tracy Lockhart's site. Tracy's articles and recipes are shown in an easy-to-navigate and friendly style. Navigation was created to allow easy expansion as articles and recipes accumulate. Search provides quick look-up for particular items.
Mrs. Lockhart's site also incorporates a carousel of items with links to Amazon.com and potential Amazon referral income.
Vine Type
My Vine Type website caught the attention of thousands of folks at Command-Shift-3 who voted it a monthly winner in 2008 and who continue to rank it among the all-time leaders out of more than 16,000 website submissions. This recognition is appreciated, but I am most focused on how my clients rate my work.
This website also caught the eye of the Expression Studio team at Microsoft. This lead to an invitation to have the Vine Type site featured in the Microsoft Expression Gallery.
Of course the Vine Type website itself is powered by Vine Type.
