Residential Property

This site consists of only 4 files: an HTML file determines the structure, a JavaScript file has all the functionality, a CSS file defines the design and aesthetics, and an XML file contains all the contents. With this approach, design, contents, or structure can be changed independently and with great ease.

Mark Woollen & Associates

Mark Woollen has created some of the most memorable and effective motion picture advertising of the last fifteen years. Their entire site was originally created in Flash, it was innefficient and the Current Works and Past Works pages required considerable time and effort to update. I stripped Flash from all but the homepage, and created a flexible, simple to update interface to showcase their Current and Past works.

Salton Sea MHP

Adult Mobile Home Park & Desert Activities

Developed the Salton Sea MHP brand to mean one thing: desert fun. Photographed the resort's natural beauty and designed the site around these aesthetics. The site provides a tour of the accomodations and activities available. It's presented in a compact form to accomodate the lower resolution displays more likely used by the elderly.

5 Card Productions

Given another designer's mockups intended to be frames of a Flash site, this site for director Gene Cajayon was coded entirely Flash-free. It loads progressively as the user's connection makes content available. To minimize the processor load on slower systems, shorter transitions were used on larger images, the editorial pages have custom scrollbars, and the whole site and its contents are available to search engine spiders for indexing.

1 Page Sites

A single-page placeholder is an affordable solution to maintain a minimal web presence. Display basic information on your site until your main site is ready, let your clients find and contact you online, or just get something up on short notice before a networking mixer.
