Working with Desi was great fun. She has a lot of terrific images showcasing her work and had a great new logo and tagline to establish her brand “Dwell in your success.” The whole design came together once we simply slid her business card into place atop the header. Her business card was so simple, elegant and so perfectly communicated her position that it just made sense.

We designed 3 value proposition slides to help communicate her commitment to professionals who reach successful levels in their business life and want that success reflected in their home.

Again we incorporated an opt-in element to encourage visitors to follow Desi’s work allowing her to build her list and following. We also used a lightbox feature with her portfolio to allow visitors to click on an image, enlarge it, and get a closer look at her fabulous work.

After RedHen

Resonant Sensors Incorporated developed an exciting new product which warranted an update to their website to match.  We re-imagined their html website and gave it a 101% overhaul into a WordPress website.

Three value proposition slides on the home page give a quick look at their latest products, projects and events.  A rotating Latest News feed conserves some home page real estate and provides subtle movement to draw interest.  

We also incorporated an opt-in element to allow visitors to follow their developments which allows RSI to build their list for future marketing efforts. Their product pages have tabbed content with some lightbox screenshots to give visitors better access to more info.

Russ was looking to streamline his branding and set himself apart from the pack.  We shifted his site from the static HTML site into the flexibility and expandability of WordPress.

He also wanted to quickly state his value proposition which we achieved through a series of three slides that smoothly rotate on his home page giving visitors a quick at a glance feel for his services.

Ginger was looking for a fresh start to her existing website.  She wanted to develop some new elements but she also wanted to retain a few pieces.  She had these wonderful images in her header that would rotate as the visitor traveled from page to page.  We streamlined these photos and placed descriptive words on each image to further enhance their power as they relate to her services.  We also made this into a fading slideshow.  Ginger loved the dramatic effect and the simplicity and clarity of the overall design.  She also likes the ability of making changes, adding and tweaking content herself through wordpress.  Visit InterplayAcademy.com

Well you’ll recall I created Jeremy’s first website and like any good actor he’s constantly honing his brand, and therefore, so goes his website.  We’ve added some terrific functionality including a tabbed resume feature with video clip integration allowing casting directors to see his credits and quickly see a corresponding video clip (where he has footage).  We created a slick headshot gallery for his photos. We’ve also created a media clips page filled with video clips of his theatrical and commercial work as well as his voiceover clips.  The functionality and ease of this page worked out extremely well.  We’ve included logos from his representation agencies.  And the artwork on his home page sets the tone for the whole package.  I can take no credit for the home page image.  That’s all Jeremy.  Multi-talented B#$%^d.  Be sure to check out JeremyKentJackson.com.

This project was a complete rebranding and a completely new website for the Arts Departments of Providence High School in Burbank, California: ProvidenceHighArts.org.

We needed to balance the branding of the high school itself along with the artistic endeavors of the various arts departments: Visual Arts, Choral, and Drama. Given that it’s a WordPress website, we were able to give each department head access to their own sections of the website. This includes the calendar where they’re able to enter all of their own events throughout the year. The visitor in turn gets to see all events for all departments conveniently in one location.

A New Website.  A New Logo

One of the creative challenges we had was to build on the Providence High School logo yet bring a little flair of the arts.  We took the font of the original school logo and found a great little font to bring the flair.  I think it looks great and the arts departments and administrators were thrilled.  So were we.

Another huge opportunity for the arts departments with their new website was the ability to pre-sell tickets. The Drama Department took full advantage of this for their project Moby Dick! The Musical. With pre-sales, they were able to sell out several nights including an evening during a torrential Southern California downpour which would have otherwise kept many people away. Their sales were already safe and sound. The show must, and did, go on despite the foul weather.

Fulcrum Associates (aka fulcrumleverage.com – great domain name btw) was starting from scratch. We decided to develop 3 value propositions which we turned into visual slides on the home page. We chose visually striking images to support the values in order to communicate what FA can do for potential clients.  You don’t always get a lot of time with visitors, so a quick at-a-glance blast of key information is important.  Above and beyond the call of duty for a web designer I believe, but a great value for my clients.

This was a complete website redesign. TOLY had a website that no longer suited them but they wanted to keep two things: the tree and the color.  We retained these branding elements yet created an entirely fresh look.  We used their tree image in a unique way by incorporating it in the background yet we allowed the branches to peek through the header and the site flows fluidly over it if you expand and contract the browser window.  It’s prominently subtle.

We went from a static HTML site into a dynamic site with a blog.  We also incorporated their social networks and created an email subscription section for readers and potential clients to stay in touch with the Yoga Studio’s classes and events.

Yes, you’ll see her in the season finale of Showtime’s Weeds.  And she needed to own her own website!  As an LA actor she has an account with ActorsAccess, LACasting, IMDb, etc.  So for Gigi, she simply wanted to claim her domain name and have a single web page with her representation that would ‘direct traffic’ so to speak to the various places she has her resume, photos & reel.

For OriginTalent.com it’s all about the understated.  They just needed a place for their branding and contact information.  They also included their history and mission, but again, simply placed in a corner with a single word link.
