PestKiller.com
Challenge: PestKiller.com came looking for an alluring look and feel to liven up a less then appealing topic. They wanted to add a lightness and bring interest to their informational site with the hopes of attracting a high volume of visitor traffic.
Solution: To tackle these issues, I stated by centering the design of the site around a green color scheme (known for eliciting feelings of harmony, freshness and safety), thus making the design friendly, interesting and comfortable while still focusing on the functionality. To maintain this robust informational site, WordPress provided the perfect solution.

Medicine Wheel Productions
Challenge: Medicine Wheel Productions, a not-for-profit arts organization based in Massachusetts, came to me seeking a new website to emphasize both the organization's unique feel and feature their works of art. They also wanted the site to be self-maintainable though a content management system.
Solution: To address the needs of the organization, we drew the colors, textures and styles seen in this design from the works that the group produced. We used clean open design that allowed for a museum-like feel to focus on their lead artist, Michael Dowling. We utilized DreamWeaver's interface with Contribute to create the content management system.

Challenge: This dog kennel and sheltie breeding business came to me wanting a web presence to launch it into the digital marketplace.
