Selective examples of my workBack to Top

Barker Massage

Massage Therapy Website

  • Custom Logo Design

  • Custom Web Design

  • HTML/CSS Development

The client approached me with the idea of a one page, simple presentation website for his massage therapy business (sort of like an online business card for showing prospective customers). While use of content was minimal, strong graphics and calls to action were used for increased conversions.

All of his clients, who are mostly women aged 40-55, loved it! Who says a guy can't design a feminine site?

Ajax Pagerank Checker

Open Source Contribution

  • Ajax/jQuery Development

  • PHP/MySQL Development

  • Website Speed Optimization

  • Dynamic Pagerank Badge Creation

Ajax Pagerank Checker is an Open Source project for web developers who need to check the Google Pagerank of multiple sites quickly, without the hassle of Captchas or submit buttons.

I created a dynamic badge generation form that generates an badge you can display on your site, which displays an image of your site's current Pagerank and updates every 24 hours in real-time. Powered by Ajax/Javascript/PHP

Gameranx

Authority Gaming Blog

  • Custom Javascript/jQuery

  • Adsense Optimization

  • Search Engine Optimization

Gameranx is one of the top video game blogs in the world, with over a million unique views a month. The webmaster came to me with a goal of optimization for Google Adsense, SEO and increasing pageviews. My solution was the inclusion of custom javascript pagination and simple pagebreaks that could be easily controlled through the CMS.

The client informed me shortly after the project that his page views had doubled, SEO rankings noticeably improved and Google Adsense clicks increased by 50%.

Siestamed

Respiratory Product Distributor

  • Custom Ecommerce Solution

  • Banner Design

  • Joomla Integration

  • Search Engine Optimization

Siestamed approached me with the idea of simplifying the overly-complex and cluttered Joomla homepage of their website and adding an Ecommerce-style front end.

I created a simple, yet powerful graphic showcasing the two main products, effectively guiding users through the Ecommerce pages who ultimately made the decision to buy. Sales were increased by over 500% and Google rankings were in top positions for targeted keywords.

A Task List

Project Management System

  • Custom Illustration/Logo Design

  • Custom Web Design

A Task List is an task/project management web application. The client wanted a simple and crisp web design with a solid, custom vector illustration that portrayed A Task List in a unique way.

My solution was a bright thumbtack which represented the old-school way of organizing tasks using bulletin boards. In addition, simplicity and effective use of white space helped to maintain the self-explanatory nature of A Task list.

SEO Tool Spy

SEO Software Review Blog

  • Custom Web Design

  • Wordpress Development

  • Search Engine Optimization

  • Content Writing

SEO Tool Spy is my personal review blog where I write detailed reviews and share my experiences with SEO software I use, pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of each. I wanted to design something clean and functional but also have an awesome illustrative stage to give the site a strong color scheme and some personality.

The HTML Ninja

PSD to HTML Service

  • Custom Web Design

  • Ajax/jQuery Shopping Cart Development

  • HTML/CSS/PHP/MySQL Development

  • Custom Illustration/Logo Design

This is the end result of my desire to draw a fat, cartoony ninja and my upcoming HTML to PSD service website. The color scheme is black, white and greyscale with bold hints of red.

The goal was to have a vivid, inviting design that made it very clear what services were being offered. The responsive Ajax/jQuery shopping cart process was designed for maximum conversions and easy checkout.

ZuyaHost

Web Hosting Company

  • Custom Web Design

  • Logo Design

  • HTML/CSS/PHP/Javascript Development

  • WHMCS Integration

The CEO at Zuyahost shared his vision with me very clearly; he wanted a soothing design with lots of blue and loved the concept of pairing content into threes.

With that, I designed him a bright, clean website with plenty of blue, high contrast and clarity of what services/benefits were being offered. The client loved it at first sight and had no revisions for me.
