Description: This project was a new website. The customer needed a site to promote and sell their new book Feed the Beauty™ White Rose.
The customer had done a lot of design work already with the publisher so we patterned the site after the book design as much as possible and setup a simple Google Checkout account with a BuyNow button for purchasing the book.
Future enhancements will include books in the
Feed the Beauty™ series.

Description: This project was a new website for this customer. The band did not have a website and needed to have a presence on the internet for their growing audience.
I used the colors from their logo to design the site and tried to keep it jazzy yet not silly. Using the guitar pick, piano keyboard and red guitar helped tie the site together and make it feel like a music related website.
I used Google Calendar for their Upcoming Gigs page so they can easily add, change, delete gigs as needed. Also, setup a GoogleGroups list for them to communicate with fans.
Future enhancements will include a shopping cart.

Description: This project was a redesign of an existing website the customer had outgrown. The website is used by students, teachers, advisors, state officers and administrators so the design had to be attractive to all these groups without offending any of them.
To give the site a contemporary look we chose a color palette that was vibrant and snappy. Bright blues, reds and yellows were the colors selected.
To give the site interest, we made use of the customer's vast photo and video collection from past events and activities, showcasing the students and advisors.
Because WAFBLA is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, they needed to be able to receive credit card donations and registration payments through the website. We used Google Checkout to provide them with this capability. In addition to Google Checkout, we configured Google Calendar to manage their busy schedule of events. Both products were seamlessly embedded in the website.
