Fiddle Stix Trolley

My client approached me witht this project with a finished logo and the color palette already finalized. After a brief discussion about what she wanted out of the site, we decided we should use Wordpress so that she could edit the content and add pictures on the go. View the live site.

Sojourners

The youth group at my church didn't have much of a website and I was tasked with a redesign. The requirements for this project were to: make the content manageable and to engage the students with each other and the ministry. I settled on using Wordpress for the content/blog and I used BBPress for the forum system that makes it easy for the students to interact with the website regularly. View the live site.

My Blog

This was my first crack at creating a custom theme for wordpress and I'm still surprised by the results. I feel this design captures part of my personality, it breaks some boundaries while still conforming to modern web standards. View the live site.

Cape Cod Holiday Estates

This is a website that I worked on with one of my friends. He did the mock up in photoshop and I took care of the rest. I hand-crafted the HTML and the CSS that was used for this site. This site was designed to be simple, elegant and to the point. View the live site.

About Myself

To sum myself up, I am an HTML ninja and my CSS is zen. I am a PHP Guru and I query MySQL like a wizard. I'm open to most design or development projects, but I specialize in, Website Design, Wordpress Themes and making your next web idea come to life.

Miscellaneous

My life isn't all work and no play though. In my spare time I enjoy Bowling, Golfing, and Snowboarding. I watch Chuck, Fringe, and How I Met Your Mother. My favorite bands are Mae, Switchfoot and Relient K. I think Halo is better than Call of Duty and my favorite movie is Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. But I'd like to know more about you, so let's shoot the breeze.
