Ana's Corner
9/26/12

Another in my latest works of small end websites. Ana Rodriguez is a very crafty lady who has made a small business with her skill and hard work. I had meet her through a mutual friend. When she was talking to me about her website she said she would rather refer people to her on-line PDF rather than to her website. I told her I would be able to offer he an affordable redesign and have it fixed up in no time. Well, no time is now!
We have already been discussing e-commerce options, a content management system, and SEO, in order to make the most out of her web space. None the less a good appearance is the first step to a good web site.

Midwife Advocates Website
9/4/12

Midwife Advocates is a small group that is trying to legalize midwifery, mostly in the state of North Carolina as they are still a small organization. When first moving to NC I found it quite odd that the practice of midwifery was outlawed. My guess would be lobbyists in NC's large medical industry might have something to do with that.
Anyways, I documented one of their events last spring and was recently contacted for web development services. The budget was small, but I'm a sucker for do-gooders. The design and structuring took me about 2 day and another 2 days to finish off their content management system (CMS). They are still putting in a lot of the content, however with their custom CMS, that should be no problems for them.

TDI Site Complete
10/4/10

After some slight delay the Truck Drivers Institue web site is finally completed. I think I need to take a little break now and get back to my painting. Such is the burden of working so much, my art hangs over my should jelously taunting me to spend more time on it. Well art, now is your time again! Hopefully I can finish my next piece before I decided to take up more side work. We shall see.
This site has been redesigned by another party
SamMenkmeller.com is GO
4/13/10

Sites are no longer active
Over the weekend I managed put the finishing touches on SamMenkmeller.com. Once again aligning with the folks at Artist Web Builders, we have joined forces to make a web site that is both pretty and user friendly.
Now it is full focus on something that I have wanted to do for some time. Finish off WeAreChangeDC.org and restore the web site for We Are Change Virginia. Unfortunately for WACVA the web name WeAreChangeVirginia.org is lost, however yours truly owns the names WeAreChangeVA.com, WeAreChangeVA.org, and even WeAreChangeVirginia.com. I'm building both web sites off of the same engine I used for this site, so hopefully that can save me some time as I have the basic designs for both sites completed already. Wish me luck and GODSPEED!
AmbieMac.com is Up

Sites are no longer active
YAR! I just put the finishing touches on the functionality for AmbieMac.com and I am quite pleased with how the site turned out. This was actually one of the more stress free freelance projects I have worked on and yet one of the more feature packed. I would like to thank the folks at Artist Web Builders for acting as an intermediary and also for handling the general page content while I built all the other goodies for the site. So go check out Ambie's page and all the cool functionality, oh yeah, and AWB did rather well on the design.
Let Oklahoma Vote
5/26/09

A while back the Citizens In Charge Foundation contacted me and asked me if I could set up a web site for them. No problem there, but the catch here was that they need the site up in less than a week. Mind you I have been very busy, but because I like CIC and knew that they wouldn't be able to have this done in time else wise, I agreed to try and get them a site up by the end of the week.
Did I mention the site had to be using WordPress? Did I mention I hate editing WordPress, CSS? Did I mention they didn't even have anywhere to host the site? Yeah, so I hustled up a storm and ended up spitting out a workable -ok- looking site. Due to time constraint and the complications with WordPress CSS I couldn't really make the site shine, but non-the-less it does it's job.

MurderOne Shirt App
5/20/09

So I have finally finished the shirt application for MurderOne Clothing! It turned out pretty well, all and all. There were several last minuet changes making it more interesting, and even though I had to take out some neat tweening effects the overall feel was still intact.
When setting up the pay-pal button, I developed an easy method of passing in multiple extra variables (other than price), using only one button. I will try to get a little example up about my method soon. I have been BUSY, lately look for a lot of updates when the storm calms!
AND!

Vigilant Logo
11/22/08
So, a little while ago there was talk about my companies appearance getting a face lift. Awesome! I was excited to get an opportunity to remake what I have always thought was a very unimpressive logo. Well it turned out that all this was just in speculation, but I want to share with you lovely folk the ideas I had for the new Vigilant Services logo.
Free Paul Jacob
11/12/08

Recently I have been doing some design and development work for the Free Paul Jacob campaign. My latest task was to re-design the Word Press based blog site. I enjoyed this project even though I was not entirely impressed with Word Press due to PHP restrictions. For more information about Mr. Jacob and why he has recently drawn fire from Oklahoma law makers visit the site . Or just visit the site to view my pretty design :)

Gootropolis On-line World
...old

Gootropolis is the new site that me and a team of developers have been creating. The site fallows the guidelines of the club Penguin world where you create you own little avatar and walk around a virtual world, talk to other people, and play games. All games on the site were either brainstormed and created by me, or converted into AS 3, by me. Jump in and play at gootropolis.com.

Symphony City
...old

A project that I have invested many hours into, and many more it seems to come. My roll in the development team is the programmer. While I don't get to do any of the fun design work, my skills as a developer have been getting tested like never before and I am learning a great deal at the same time. The entire game is coded in AS2, with a little tiny splash page using HTML and JavaScript. This on-line on-line educational game is successful at helping children identify with symphonies and classical music. So go ahead and
Play Symphony City!.
I was the sole programmer for the site, and made the pass-code system for the login, that enables students to continue sessions, based off of the last level they have completed. This has been my first major web project I have ever tried to tackle
Update!Phase one of Symphony City is completed!
Update!
The game is no longer hosted but you can still play it HERE.
Challenger Learning Center Site
...old

This was to be the main web site for Wheeling Jesuit's Challenger Learning Center. I was the sole programmer for the site, and had participated in creating the main layout and site infrastructure. I worked along with Cassandra Ligthfritz who focused soly on the design aspect. Together our creative minds made what I believe to be a very pretty site.
Update!
...The site is no longer on line, but I'm still hosting it from my site for all you beautiful people to take a look at.
CLC site
CLC, E-Missions Site
...old

A Flash based web page, done for Wheeling Jesuit's Challenger Learning Center E-Mission on-line games. I was the sole programmer for the site, and had participated in creating the main layout and site infrastructure. The overall design was done by Cassandra Ligthfritz, but I got a little of my style in there with background page transition effects and various scripted tweens.
Update!
...The site is no longer on line, but I have a copy on my server so every one can still view it, YAH!! E-Missions Site.
