Client: Keech Design Studio, PLLC

Role: Design and Develop the website portfolio for Keech Design Studio, a Charlotte-based LEED certified architect. He wanted a minimalist aesthetic to let the work show through. The site is managed by WordPress for simplicity in updating portfolio work and news articles.

It also features some modern CSS 3 goodies (which will need to be viewed from Google Chrome or Apple Safari). In addition to those, it’s developed in a responsive manner, which adapts itself for iPhone and other mobile devices.

Command Partners

Client: MCG Studio

Info: Responsible for developing a site designed by MCG Studio, this site was done in HTML5, with some CSS3 goodies thrown in, and is managed entirely through WordPress.

When viewed in a Webkit-based browser (Safari and Chrome), you get to see the gauges at the top in action, handled through gracefully degrading CSS animation. The buttons also contain some rollover effects handled through browser-specific CSS, so the more modern browsers get a nice effect.

Paul Simon Company

Client: Paul Simon Co

Info: In collaboration with MCG Studio, I developed the design for the new site. Again, using an extensively customized installation of WordPress to manage the content, I was able to provide maximum flexibility to the client for keeping their site up to date.

The site needed to be usable and accessible, according to Section 508 of the ADA standards, and it passed with flying colors.

WordPress functionalities allow for the most use out of each page and post, and Custom Post Types are used for things like featured promotions, testimonials, and slideshows throughout the site.

Every bit of the site is updatable by the client, including portfolio images in the gallery, and the blog which was incorporated from the existing blog.

Extensive use of WordPress Custom Post Types makes the backend really simple for the client to manage the content and keep all the information up to date.

Client: Clothe Charlotte

Info: Custom site design, with an eye towards simplicity and usability. Uses Wordpress for a Content Management system.

The redesign of the site for 2009 (it’s an annual charity event), focused on usability and access to information. Building on what had been established in the 2008 inaugural year, there was much more information and organization that needed to be relayed through the site.

It featured gracefully degrading CSS3 elements, without losing functionality in less capable browsers. WordPress provided the backend content management, with multiple users editing and updating content as needed.

Mosaic Church

Promotional materials for Easter 2010 at Mosaic Church. They wanted something that was unique, and different from the standard, cliché look of most Easter services - something that would stand out.

After a few initial concepts, this technical style was the direction they wanted to go, so I fleshed it out a bit more. From this design, a series of posters, postcards, banners, and an animated Motion video intro were created.

Mosaic Church

Info: Weekly handout for their church services. Folded, it’s a 4x6 card, perforated in the middle, so churchgoers can keep the side with the church information, and hand in the side with their information and prayer requests.

This was created as a part of reworking and establishing a branding precedent for the church. I was also commissioned to design a default series package based on this design, which included materials for slides and video production.
