Web Design
As a web designer, I design & hand code visually engaging, intuitive, & standards-compliant sites. I am constantly expanding my reportoire of web languages, from client- & server-side scripting to vector graphics & animation, & thinking up new ways to make my pages pop.

The website you are currently viewing is actually in the third major iteration of it's original design. The color pallette was changed to a softer (& easier reading) combination of gray, blue, & black. Page content is now loaded in more quickly & dynamically with AJAX for those who enable Javascript, & retains modular, lightweight code in the absence of Javascript through the use of server-side PHP.

- Elizabeth O'Keefe Photography
I coded this website for Sacramento State University Alumni Elizabeth O'Keefe to display her past work & advertise her photographic skills. She showed me the photographs she wanted to use & explained the aesthetic she was aiming for. I created the layout & coded the pages.
The site included 4 total pages, based off of 2 visual templates, which can be reused at a later point to add pages to the site. I coded the entire site using XHTML 1.0 Strict, the most recent fully functional html standard, & it displays consistantly across current versions of the major web browsers (Internet Explorer 7 & Firefox 2 on Windows Vista). This site was a relatively simple job, finished in 2 weeks.

I coded this website for Sacramento State University Graduate Art Student Erica Carter, to display her work & advertise her services as an artist & wedding planner. She had the content & aesthetic planned out ahead of time. I did the planning & coding necessary to make the site functional (deciding where to splice images, how best to achieve certain "overlap" effects), as well as expandable, allowing new content to be added as her career blossoms.
The site included 6 total pages, based off of 2 visual templates, which can be reused at a later point to add pages to the site. I incorporated mouseover effects into the portfolio & main weddings pages using javascript. I coded the entire site using XHTML 1.0 Strict, the most recent fully functional html standard, & it displays consistantly across current versions of the major web browsers.

- Alternative MySpace Layout
This is the alternative layout I created for my myspace profile page, which groups related information more efficiently & attractively than myspace's default layout. Sections vary in width but have constant height, lining up side-by-side to form a unique horizontally scrolling (rather than vertically scrolling) composition, remeniscent of traditional informational pamphlets. With a content area 500 pixels high, this layout makes vertical scrolling unnecessary even on the smallest screens, a great simplification over the default layout, which often forces users to scroll both vertically & horizontally through a profile page. It also includes a custom audioplayer, anchored to the bottom left of the window (rather than a location within the page itself), which is backward compatible to flash version 6 (rather than the current version 9) to allow a full experience even on limited devices.
