Web Design

Charlottesville, VA's 250th Anniversary website
I was thrilled to work with the Ivy Group on this spash page for the City of Charlottesville's 250th Anniversary website! Ivy Group deserves full credit for the beautiful design. My contribution was primarily in code (I wrote all of the custom HTML and CSS that creates the design). It was a fun and challenging page to work on!


Allsorts Promotional Products' Twitter Page
Allsorts continues to expand into the social networking arena and needed a bright design that warranted special attention. I designed this layout and a new variant of the Allsorts logo that could scale better when viewed as a thumbnail. When your logo is overly detailed or long in just one dimension, logo variants can be a great asset to your brand!


DiscountPromotional.net website
This mini site was a project for Allsorts Companies LLC, a national promotional product company based in Virginia. The client was looking for a fairly generic (but professional) appearance that could be used as the foundation for several other sites, which I am now building as well! www.discountpromotional.net also features a new logo that I created for this project.


Clarke Creative Media and Print Communication website
Website enhancement for Clarke Creative Media and Print Communication. Original designs for social networking and body, graphic enhancement for the entire site, as well as numerous fixes and additions.


Old Man Garage Band website
Original website design for the Old Man Garage Band, aka the "OMG" Band.


Websites

Over the past months, my web design time has been going almost exclusively to learning new skills and enhancing this site. I have increased my knowledge of languages like HTML & CSS, begun to learn a little Javascript & PHP, created my first few Joomla demo sites, and bettered my undertsanding of Search Engine Optimization. During university, I designed and maintained a site for the OMG Band, redesigned and updated Clarke Creative Marketing & Print Communication's site, did preliminary work for All-American Publications and Boyscouts of America's Troop 70, as well as serveral minor graphics & research jobs for Chappelle Graphics and its clients.
