Web Design & Development

Arena Solutions

Advanced on-demand PLM solutions.

Although only partially involved in the design I am responsible for the entire code base, and development, of the companies web site. Design responsibilities include creating new graphics in keeping with the current design, and updating existing graphics when needed. From a code point of view I am responsible for the entire site and it’s content, including creating future plans and cases studies for its development.

Simple AJAX Code-Kit

The simplest way to add AJAX to any web project.

Designed to be an easy, lightweight, and simple way to add AJAX support to any web page, SACK has proved itself as an invaluable tool for the serious web developer. The JavaScript library is not only included in the popular blogging platform WordPress, it has been featured in magazines in China, Italy, and all over the world. Best of all – it’s completely free. For more information see the SACK project page.

Target Tracker

Allowing teachers to teach.

Target Tracker badly needed an update to their outdated site. They didn’t show up in search results, or if they did it was around 60 pages in. They also wanted a dynamic, easily updated site, that required minimal maintenance. With this in mind I implemented a custom dynamic site based on a heavily customized WordPress installation, re-structured their site, and made sure that white-hat SEO practices were used.

AJAX was also used in places for a dynamic and easy to use sign-up page. The results speak for themselves – the number one result in Google and increased traffic and subscriptions.

Tommy Baker

Guinness World Record Holder, and sports entertainer.

Tommy wanted a look that was urban and reflected his street style, but also modern and fresh. Above all else – he wanted it fast! With just over a month between first contact and final launch this website had an extremely speedy build process.

However the final look reflects an international appeal, retains it’s urban roots, and looks fresh and funky. A perfect way to describe the man himself.

Cherie Priest

Blooker Award winning author

Cherie Priest was signed to Tor base, in part, on her work in her blog – so her official website (and blog) had to be special. The version shown here is actually the second version of the site – built and colored to match her second novel and featuring art by John Jude Palancar.

IMEM

International Events Management

IMEM’s CEO contacted me needing a corporate site that showcased his companies projects and partners work. The project needed to work with his exiting branding scheme, and be able to be built as a static site. Turnaround was quick, and though it is one of my earlier websites and certainly not my most technically advanced—I would approach it differently now—I still really like the concept behind it.

Bay Mountain Martial Arts

The Bay Area’s premiere Wing Tsun & Escrima school

Bay Mountain Martial Arts (BMMA) needed a new website for their Oakland school. They wanted something clean and clear, and with a light feel. They also needed it to interface with their existing CMS and Remote Office software, as well as with their mailing interface. As with Tommy Baker this was a project which needed a fast turn around, and the final product has improved their visibility and exposure, as well as improving their search engine rank.

Animation & Video Work

Ignorance Is Bliss

An animation about life after death!
