WEB DESIGN

In this section of the site you will find work from both my professional sites and World Wide Web Publishing class. All work in the WWW Publishing class was some form of web site development whether it was a personal site, a client site, or a site developed for a personally chosen topic.

• XHTML / CSS Help Site
  This site is an updated version of the HTML/CSS Help Site listed below. This version includes XHTML and Web 2.0 related resources. This site was completely handscripted in XHTML and CSS and optimized for Firefox.

   

• HTML / CSS Help Site
  This site, my final project for WWW Publishing, is currently being used by my former professor as a reference for his current classes.

   

• Lubbock Zoo
  This site was a class project for which I did all of the coding. I have posted a copy of the site here on my own site, as it was originally accepted, since the Lubbock Zoo's domain has been down for the last couple of weeks. The structure of the site remained relatively unchanged from the time it was submitted in May 2003 except for a few background changes and the removal of the lion roaring. If you would like to look into my thought processes a little, here is a hierarchy of the old site's navigation and structure I wrote prior to the site's redesign. Developing a hierarchy such as this gives me an idea of what the current site's content and structure is as well as an idea of where or how things could improve. I have used hierarchies on all other existing sites I have worked on as well.

   

• Writers' League of Texas
  This site was a volunteer project. For this project I redesigned the look of the site to give it a more modern and professional presence. I also developed Dreamweaver templates so the site could be continuously updated by league members once the redesign was complete. After some changes in the structure of the organzation the web site was no longer considered to be a priority and the project was dropped. Here are links to various ideas or mockups I did (notes and notes 2) and what was to be the new layout for the site. To give credit where credit is due, I modified their new logo, provided by their designer, for integration into the site as a visual divider between the menus and other content, and the javascript menus are a free menu I found and edited for their use.

   

• masterblacksmithing.com
  This site is a pro-bono project I designed for a local blacksmithing school. The site is up, but is still undergoing a few tweaks as I receive feedback from the owner. I may also be serving as web master for future changes and updates.

   

• New American Independent Party
  This site is a volunteer project I am doing with fellow members of the Society for Technical Communication (STC) who also volunteered for the project. We are just getting started, so all I can really say right now is...more to come later.
