I offer web design services for whatever your needs, whether you want a web presense for your large corporation, a fledgling small business, a personal, family or hobby site, or anything in between.

Sites "from scratch"

These are a few sites that I have created from the ground, up. Usually, that means I start with nothing but the basic idea or vision of what I (or clients) want and create all graphics, logos, templates, wording and the layout of the site. Some graphics were created using royalty free and client supplied art or photos as a basis, but most were created using my own original artwork or photos.
All the banners linking the sites were created by me.
As with all of the sites I design, the only HTML "editor" I use is notepad. Pretty much all my code is manually entered. I don't use HTML editing programs to generate the code. I feel that this gives me more complete control over every detail of a site. Additionally, I dislike all the extraneous and often proprietary code those editors seem fond of placing on web pages!

This is the site for my soap and craft business. Most of the graphics for this site were made with my own photos and PSP 7. I actually made this one several years ago, so it is a lot simpler overall than some of my more recent ones.

Here is a misistry site. Most of the web graphics on that page were created with stock backgrounds and PSP 7 to alter them to suit my needs. I made that site before I got really into totally creating my own custom graphics.

This is a promotional and informational site for a local musician. it was originally created several years ago and is best viewed at a screen resolution of between 800 x 600 & 1024 x 768. Obviously, few are viewing at that low res anymore, but that client took over the design of his site after learning enough HTML, so I haven't updated it in quite a while, but I am including it here for a couple reasons. One, because it was with this site that I began doing a lot more custom graphics of my own.. I made my first animation for this site.. the square blinking, multicolored celtic knots. The other reason is because it is a great example of how I am able to come up with wording that can sell your service or product! (I have a background of MANY years in sales and product promotion) Almost all the promotional wording is my doing.
*All content that personally identifies or is the intellectual property of the person for whom the site was originally created has been altered, as the site no longer appropriately represents that person.

Changes to Existing Sites

This can be anything from adding a form, calendar or other feature, to making layout or theme changes, to completely revamping a site.

This is an example of a simple form I was contracted to create so that people at other locations of a business or even out in the field could check on availability and price or order parts from the parts manager from any computer connected to the Internet, rather than relying on postal mail or phone messages like they had been doing. It really helped to streamline their operations!

This next couple links shows an example of a complete overhaul of a site.
This is a site for a non-profit organization. When they contacted me, they told me that they needed something that wasn't so "hard on the eyes" and wanted something a little more professional looking. They also wanted an interactive calendar and an online membership form.
Here is what they had when they contacted me

They didn't even have a banner to use for linking to their site.
What they wound up with once I had their new site ready to go live (parts of it are still under construction) included all that they asked for and then some! The events page has a great example of a simple table and the membership page shows a more advanced form than the purchasing form above.
Click on the banner to see their new site. I created ALL the graphics for the new site, including re-making their logo so it would look nicer.

I will be adding more links to sites I have worked on as time permits. My first priority is working on things for my clients, so sometimes my own site has to be put on a back burner for a bit.
