Storage Solutions, Inc.
This was a re-design to an outdated existing site. The previous site design was largely unrecyclable save for content, so this was essentially designing from scratch. The challenge was to present a modern design for an audience that was not necessarily web-savvy. Emphasis was placed on unity of overall design and clear presentation of information. Logo also designed.

PIEmatrix
I was brought on as part of a team, automating several features with PHP with my specific brief to be the updating and streamlining of the outdated and in some cases absent CSS code. Gathering the scattered styles into one stylesheet I was frequently able to reduce the amount of code on a page to one-half or less. After the designer left the team, I was also tasked to modify some of the graphics as necessary to fit the new style of the website.

The Drones Club
The Drones Club site was developed to meet the needs of a growing World of Warcraft guild. It featured a minimalist design in which the guild crest was the main element. Coded items included the following: message board, calendar/raid scheduling app, image gallery upload and display, display of individual members’ information, as well as a middle-layer administration console accessible by the guild officers based on a MySQL database back-end. It drew information from user input as well as data drawn and parsed from Blizzard, Inc’s Armory site. Designed to be extensively scalable, it was easily able to grow as the guild added members.

Legal Walk
This website was designed to be an information portal for a nationwide customer base to make finding information about local laws and law service providers easier and more straightforward. I worked in collboration with Cold Fusion programmers and database engineers to hook the design into the company’s existing framework. A trick I developed for this site was that though it was split into separate frames, the left-side bar would automatically resize itself appropriately.
