External Sites
These are the latest two websites I have been involved with. While the design was created by a very talented designer (who I throughly enjoyed working with), the coding and back engine were completed developed by yours truly. Both these sites and the corporate Intranet all revolved around a central theme, and the Intranet site actually won awards. All of these sites had to match a corporate look and feel, and run off the same centralized database.

Mystery Sites

I have several items that I can't post due to security concerns of the companies I worked at (Intranet's etc...) Please contact me for specific examples if needed.

Combining a simplistic approach with an extremely complex database requirement, the Central Ohio Computer website provided total owner customization, online ordering with a shopping cart, and multi-functional search abilities.

On this project...
I created both the logo, theme, and coded the website and the staff web (which the store had some highly complicated calculations... whew!)

My former freelance business website, this animation proved to be everyone’s favorite. The goal was to design something interactive, simple, but look modern and fresh. Over the course of years I have been asked to repeat this design due to its effectiveness.

On this project...
My ex-business partner and I both came up with the flash animation and while we almost tore each other's hair out, we both regard it as probably our best work.

Driving to provide the first information to the customer, this website acts as the initial greeting to a customer and helps to jump-start the customer orientation process. Photos and warm design help to entice the web viewers to the quality of the professional work.

On this project...
I designed the theme and flash animation. This one was a bit difficult to come up with content for, so most of the site had to rely on a few great images that were available.

This site had to present the extremely charismatic and charming personality of this award winning artist. With the use of a database the author could make changes on the fly and users could download and order exclusive photos.

On this project...
I created the theme, design, and programmed the staff web which allowed the client to upload photos to the site. One of my many customizable websites back before the days of easy to install blogging software.

Representing lots of images can be difficult, especially when trying to show high quality photographs. The goal of this site was to create an elegant atmosphere and reflect the professionalism shown by the gallery.

On this project...
This particular client was very particular on the quality of the photographs. I designed the website look and feel, as well as coding several flash animations that contained the elegant photos.
