Intuitive and Artistic Web Design
Websites I've Created
I have a very diverse array of clients. Unlike many designers, I chose not to go into a certain niche. I like to learn as much about various industries as I can and the best way for me to do this is by working across a limitless spectrum.
Revanda Posey - Law Student
Challenge: Revanda Posey needed a unique method for networking and displaying her Curriculum Vitae. As a law student you never know when you will run into someone who you may want to work with. By creating a website to display her C.V, a blog and information about how to contact her she should have no trouble landing an internship in a posh law firm.
Result: Revanda Posey's website is currently under development. Check back for the official launching!

Dawn Myers - Fantasy Artist
Challenge: Dawn Myers was in the midst of redesigning her gallery website when I was contracted to create a truly unique web pressence for her. She needed a website that would compliment her art work and not take away from it. While she could create her own website she decided to outsource the development so that she could focus on her art.
Result: Dawn Myers' website is currently under redevelopment. Check back for the official relaunching!

Castle of Spirits
Challenge: Rowena Gilbert, founder of the Australian Ghost Hunters Society wanted to modernize her world famous ghost story and photo website, Castle of Spirits. Due to the nature of the website she desired a creepy Gothic style look and feel.
Result: The Castle of Spirits website is currently under redevelopment. Check back for the official relaunching!

The Wheelchair Shop, Inc.
Challenge: Paul and Nancy Rice were so impressed of the website I created for them for Tech Product Specialties - Plyboo™ Texas that they didn't think twice to hiring me for their redesign of their main business, The Wheelchair Shop, Inc. They needed a redesign that was professional and yet warm and inviting for their patients.
Result: I decided to use a photo of their state-of-the-art facility taken by my sister company, CLJ Photography and play up the natural warm earth tones. The result was a beautifully inviting website that is as warm and friendly as The Wheelchair Shop, Inc.'s staff!

Airmont Distributing
Challenge: Buck Huddle of Airmont Distributing contacted me Mid-January to design a simple website to showcase the new products he was distributing. The challenge was to come up with a complimenting color scheme to correspond with the existing Advantage PressurePro® website and brand.
Result: I came up with a sleek "racing stripe" motif with the Advantage PressurePro® color scheme. The entire website is coded in Transitional xhtml and CSS and includes a small Flash slideshow representing the product in use.

Outlaw Metalworks
Challenge: John Schafer of Outlaw Metalworks contacted me about designing a website for his metal fabricating business. John wanted a website that oozed masculinity from every nook and cranny while remaining professional.
Result: I came up with a grungy torn diamond plate metallic theme. John already had his logo and I added a light grey glow. John was keen on having a dark maroon and black color scheme to go with the metal.

GenX Network Solutions
Challenge: Janene Randall contacted me about designing a website and corporate identity for her new start-up telecom business. She had absolutely no idea what she wanted the website to look like except that she wanted it to look like a "Gen X" business and very professional.
Result: I chose to go with a calming blue, white and turquoise color scheme. Imagery from iStockPhoto and StockExpert were used to give the website the young hip vibe Janene wanted to portray.

Tech Product Specialties - Plyboo™ Texas
Challenge: Paul & Nancy Rice of Tech Product Specialties contacted me designing a website for a new line of products they were distributing. Paul & Nancy were in a huge rush to get the website up by the retailer's deadline that they couldn't even tell me what they wanted. I was given complete freedom on the design as long as it "looks great and is done as of yesterday!"
Result: Due to the very environmentally friendly product Plyboo™ is I chose a Green theme. The photos of the bamboo found throughout the website are of my sister company, CLJ Photography and were taken at the Mercer Arboretum & Botanic Gardens in Houston, TX. Included is a Flash fun-facts about bamboo that rotates on the homepage.

Hotdog Corral
Challenge: Shane Podolsky came to me wanting to have his "make-shift" website redesigned in an appropriate theme for his new hotdog catering business. He already had the cutest logo created by another talented designer and wanted a very friendly western theme.
Result: I created a wood hotdog stand theme and used photos of his various hotdog stands and carts as the photo montage on the home page. Shane was another client who couldn't quite tell me the look he was wanting but I was happy to hear him tell me I read his mind when he saw the first draft of the website. Shane was my very first paying client and thus I owe him a great deal for my confidence!
