The same dedication and skill that goes into the development of commercial web sites, is used to construct even the smallest site. Whether a page is being designed for a 20 page site or a 3 page site, it still deserves the best effort I can give. You may also wish to view my commercial web site design.

Private and Noncommercial Sites

These web pages are done for individuals with very small businesses, non-profit groups or simply for centers of family information and contact. I cannot give links to some of these sites since they are private and for "members only." Often, the look and feel is very different from that of a larger business, giving a much more relaxed image. If you would like a family site but don't know how to get started, I can lay out the site and train you to update information as needed using some very simple, inexpensive tools.

Children's Special Needs Network, is a non-profit organization which assist families of children with special needs. The previous site was poorly designed with flashing bars and navigation that caused the site to be very slow to load. The calendar was not based on their server and was no longer available to the organization. The site was poorly organized causing a viewer to constantly click links to another page in order to get the information they wanted. The information on their site changes frequently so updates need to be accomplished with a minimum of adjustments.

The new design greatly reduced the number of pages in the site and incorporated their new logo and colors. The navigation and layout of this site is done entirely using Style Sheets. This makes the design more flexible and changes to navigation more simple. Using styles and java script allows the site to display smaller graphics when the screen width is below 1000 pixels. The header and navigation remains fixed as the page scrolls giving the look of frames without the problems associated with frames and search engines. There is also a separate style for printing which shows a print header giving the location and contact information followed by the main content of the page.
