Some recent website projects I’ve done:

FacilityRepairman.com—a quick one-page site which is just what it says it is. Allen Foley had done the design in Photoshop and needed it converted to a live website.

KansasCityShooters.com—another quick site. Larry Brewer has been doing video work in Kansas City for years—check the logo crawl at the bottom for a small sampling of his extremely impressive client list. A couple of potential clients needed him to have a web presence for one reason or another; hence this site. He uses the slideshow from slide.com because he wants to be able to change photos himself whenever he feels like it. For similar reasons, he did the logo crawl in the Vegas video editor and gave me a Quicktime movie to post—credit where credit is due. FWIW, I would have done it in Flash, which would have been a much smaller bandwidth, but again he wants to be able to change it any time he wants, and I respect that.

A much larger project was the redesign of Kinisue’s Tropical Boutique. We had originally put the site together last fall, but as Cindy (Kinisue) learned more about her business, selling tropical jewelry through boutiques and at shows, she wanted to make some changes. Also, the site uses the free open-source Zen Cart shopping cart software. Zen Cart is designed to run the whole site, rather than an add-on to a static HTML site, so that was a major consideration in the redesign. Cindy considered adding a slideshow from slide.com as well, but didn't like the associated advertising. Besides, I already had the Flash slideshow set up, and it’s a matter of only a few minutes from the time I receive a new photo till a revision can be posted.

I suppose it doesn’t hurt to remind people of the web design work I do—my work comes 100% from referrals—but really I’m posting this to help search engine rankings on these sites. Every link helps! And besides, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the services of these clients, so I’m happy to do a little advertising for them.
