Simple, standards compliant websites

Web pages can be simple and still effective. However, overly complicated websites drive viewers away through long load times or aggravating interfaces. We produce simple websites that can be read by everybody regardless of their browser choice or physical capabilites. Being simple also means they are cheap to produce.

Samples of my work

When evaluating website design, be sure to vary the size of your browser window, in order to see how good the design looks on different people's screens. You might also want to look at it in a lynx viewer to see how it will look to search engines and the blind.


TIE Security Front Page

TIE Security Systems

The objective here was to translate a brochure into a web page. The design takes its feel and graphics from the brochure, but make it more in the paradigm of the internet.


Butterfly Upholstery Front page

Butterfly Upholstery

This website is currently in production. I am waiting for some content from the owner. The graphics on this site are examples of free clip art that can be found on the web.


Green Fret Consulting Front Page

Green Fret Consulting

This is another enterprise of mine, a consulting firm for energy efficiency and environmental friendliness in house building. This site is quite extensive, but the whole site look is contained only in stylesheets, and can be changed easily across the whole site.

I produced all the graphics for this page with the exception of the w3c banners, and a couple of house pictures.

There is an example of java script on this page (it calculates a measure of house efficiency).


Midcoast Green Collaborative

Midcoast Green Collaborative

Here is the logo I designed for a local green advocacy group, that I am a member of. I am rather proud of this design. This was volunteer work. I did not design the website, but take a look anyways as we are doing some interesting stuff.


CiMerc Front page

CiMerc Bioterrorism Forum

This is the front page of a site that I worked on, in collaboration with Information Technology Consulting. It is a secure discussion forum for The National Bioterrorism Civilian Medical Response Center. CGI is used to allow members to write, view, edit, and respond to, messages on various topics of interest, or send private e-mail to members (whose e-mail addresses they don't know). Administrators, can add or delete members and topics.
