In this project with Smiley Sitton's Outlaw Driving School I was given a sample brochure and word documents. The goal was simple enough, to convert the brochure design to a functional web site to relay information about Sprint Car driving lessons.

Oakwood Laboratories needed a web site overhaul. They wanted a simple, clean cut design that would highlight their content as opposed to any flashy styles. Mission accomplished I do believe!
Realty Co., based out of Idaho, wanted a set of templates to integrate into their hosting service for Realtors. The above image is the set of templates I created and submitted.

This project was a bit unique. The owner had the site created but in all static pages. I was hired to fold the entire project into a Content Management System to allow him to easily add on to the site himself. Using Expression Engine I was able to keep the URL structure intact, improve the SEO and provide an intuitive, easy to use publishing interface for him to manage the site himself.

In this project I worked with the owner of Rainbow Photography. She needed an online photography portfolio to showcase her images. In addition, I build a client accessible photo ordering system. This allowed her to issue passwords and update photos on her own for each client to view and select photos for print ordering.

I used to be the Web Master for Career Path Services. Of course, this meant an entire overhaul to a very outdated web site with no information structure. This was accomplished by collaborating with 50 staff members and putting it into the design. I also built a private web based intranet that consisted of news/updates, electronic sign in/out board, file manager and searchable corporate policies. This intranet is still maintained by staff using a comprehensive publishing system.

Older projects
- Section VIII Clan - Although Section VIII skipped out on payment, this is a worthy item to be listed. Web site was complete with a news publishing system, video publishing, statistics, forums and photo gallery. The entire site is still to this day updated via the publishing system put into place.
- Dog Palace - A design I did freely for a friend. She specializes in dog training and needed a web site that promoted her experience.
- Alt-Health Directory - A web site that consisted of all static pages was converted to a Content Management System to allow the owner to publish her own listings as needed.
- Liquilife - My old playground built upon by Expression Engine. The site sadly receives rare updates, but it is complete with an article, video, audio and photo publishing system all tied in together.
