Web Site Design I've been building web sites for over 12 years in both the B2B, retail e-commerce and personal environments. I enjoy trying to come up with a unique-looking site interface; one that reflects the company or individual. Using tools such as Dreamweaver, Flash, CSS, PHP, Java Script and more, I build sites large and small. I include SEO (search engine optimization) on all my sites as well as Google Analytics. I have created a few ecommerce sites for retail purposes, complete Flash sites using Actionscript, and various other sites featuring video & audio demos. Here are some examples of some of my favorite sites that I have created. |
 www.webermarking.com I built the first web site for Weber Marking Systems in 1996— it was all of seven pages. Today the site contains over 400 pages that include pdf spec pages and brochures, video product demos in Flash, a password-protected customer information area and multiple request forms. |
 www.loudspeakersplus.com This project is a 400-page e-commerce site that contains over 1400 photos. LoudspeakersPlus continues to grow and add new products and features to the site on a weekly basis. Features include a shopping cart, repair info, white papers, and pdf specs on most products. |
 www.dist-tron.com Dist-Tron Inc. is an authorized distributor for electronic test equipment from manufacturers such as Tektronix, Fluke, Rohde & Schwarz and others. They needed a site that would contain all of their technical specs as well as some consumer friendly details like Flash product intros. |
 www.cassata.net A full Flash site developed using the agency's desgin and lots of Actionscript. An interesting way to show the capabilities and services of a great design firm. |
