What a busy season it has been! I hope everyone has had a great holiday and a prosperous beginning to this new year.

I’ve posted a few new websites and logos in the portfolio sections. I’m busy at work on several new websites that will be posted soon. Here’s a quick view of a few new pieces:


Thanks everyone for reading my posts and visiting the blog. If you are a new visitor, please feel free to drop me a line. Oh, for out-of-town visitors, you can finally put a face to the name on the about page.

Excellence Awards

Filed Under Websites | Leave a Comment

It always feels good to get a little something back after putting together a website, whether it be an award, a highly satisfied client, or lots of traffic for a client site. Well, this is definitely a highlight of my work as a web designer and developer so far.

Last year I had the opportunity to work with San Francisco companies Shepard Associates and VelocIT to build two websites for a medical device company using DotNetNuke (DNN). I was responsible for HTML/CSS production of a series of templates that were incorporated into the DNN content management system, which was custom built by VelocIT. I also ran a two-day on-site training session for the client to use the CMS, and produced a lengthy instruction manual on the CMS for the client.

Earlier this year, the client’s websites won three WebAwards from the Web Marketing Association. Shepard Associates, VelocIT and I worked tirelessly to develop the websites, which consisted of a consumer oriented site (Essure.com) and a site directed toward professionals (EssureMD.com). Highlights of these sites include geolocation, a WSYIWYG CMS for the client, and an online training section.
