Website Designs
Style Newsletter. For this newsletter, I was provided with a rough draft of how the owner wanted it to look: simple, clear, concise. At the same time, I had to build a web page identical to the newsletter, with an archive section to allow viewers to read previous issues.
Spectrum Digital Imaging. Because Spectrum Digital sells digital maps and mapping software (and related hardware), they wanted a map theme for the site. The design was to incorporate the map theme of the original header. I used transparent gifs to allow the map background to show through the site, and a CSS navigation menu on each page for easy navigation through the entire site.
Lawnjockey Landscape Services. What colour suits landscaping more than green? And what plant does a landscaper deal with more than grass? These two elements, along with Lawnjockey's logo of a landscaper with a weed eater, made up the design vision for this site.
Curved edges and reflections give this site an organic look, emphasizing the nature of the business.
Each year, Lawnjockey hosts the "Duffer's Cup" charity pitch and putt golf tournament. I donate my time, both on the course and for the website, to help make the event successful.
Curly Standard Place. The design of this website is mostly up to its owner. Because it is a CMS (Content Management System), I created the scaffolding upon which the content, font colours, type, & size, background, and page colours were placed by the owner.
Savvy Insider. The Savvy Insider design requirements were for a website and daily HTML email that looked and felt the same for subscribers. At the same time, its owner wanted a hip, active look to compliment the site's focus on "what's hot" in Vancouver.
Shineguard Industries Inc. The theme for Shineguard was, of course, polished metal. The page was made to look like a sheet of polished brass (sharp edges included), with a bright star burst coming out from behind the company name.
Call It Puppy Love. The requirements for this site were textures and grays, with a solid, static look and feel. The owners wanted a site that did not scroll down the screen, but rather kept all the information available in one page. I managed this by having small sections of the site scroll if necessary, while keeping the web page the same size.
