techism

Recently I helped the Wexley School for Girls launch a new look for Taco Del Mar.  After their creative was a approved, I was looped in via ThorLoki to help webify the design and to design a plan to bring everyone together for a rapid development turn-around.  After some conversation on the nature of web design we achieved a consensus and I produced some lightly modified concepts.  A little fine tuning of the design was all that remained, and to execute it across all the internal pages for this company.

I’m looking forward to seeing where this visionary new direction goes. See it live: http://www.tacodelmar.com

The Advertising Coalition was having problems with their old web developer’s schedule creep and asked me if I could rapidly deploy a content managed website for them.  We made our production schedule to go from concept to launch within 30 days.  Using BaseCamp to keep the project organized, and using assigned milestones to remind each of us of our parts in this project, we were able to produce a fine website that I hope will serve them for years to come as they grow their online presence.

The technology uses a custom WordPress theme that accomodates easy editing of the feature header on the home page, several custom layouts and templates, and lots of power to make the site grow grow grow.

The target audience is made up of media professionals who want to stay in touch with the latest developments in DC regarding advertising and government.  The client asked for lots of white space, a media savvy design, with a DC flavor that wasn’t too institutional.  I’m really fond of how this turned out and I think they are too.

I’m happy that the client is enjoying the freedom of her WordPress-driven website.  This custom theme was a real pleasure to put together.   Featuring a slick web2.0 look that really stands out from the traditionally lagging east-coast design institutions.  The Federal Employee’s Law Firm is accessible, readable, and growth-ready.

A Dreamweaver powered static html website deisgned with w3c-compliant semantic markup and CSS.  This client was on such a tight budget that he didn’t even ask to see a comp.  “Surprise me.” he said.  So I kinda made this one up as I coded it.  I like the result.

He still raves about it every time I see him.

This site design was created to showcase a proposed identity and website design package for James Russell PLLC.  The concept:  James Russell is not a CPA, James Russell is your business strategist who can open the key to your future.  If you need more than a book keeper, you need James Russell.

A great bunch of people with a lot of insights to share to help people succeed in their professional and personal lives.  T3Leadership.com is a static, Dreamweaver-powered, website build in valid w3c compliant semantic markup and styled with valid CSS.

A very dramatic case for before and after.  This site was redesigned by overhauling their existing engine built on a customized installation of the open-source CMS “PhpWebSite”.   This was a complicated project as there’s a lot of website dependency in a Restaurant Delivery Service website.

A thorough creative overhaul was undertaken to improve the customer experience from top to bottom using their existing technology and minimizing disruptions to their online service.   We added a nifty location-based delivery service calculator that uses some fancy back end geocoding and custom distance algorythms.

Before

I’m quite proud of the improvement we were able to make in the customer experience and business use of this website.  It began with a brand audit where the unique colors of the client’s logo were considered in a whole new context: purple is the least food color, but when seen as a neon light at night, it evokes the pleasure of a night out being indulged at a fine restaurant.
