I began working on WikPik in the latter half of 2008. This was my first true freelancing project and I'm ecstatic about being able to keep working on this movie review, guide and listing website alongside a few talented individuals. The first part of the project was to bring the site out of Alpha and into Beta, where it resides now.

Improvements to the service are constantly being made and recently we've added VuLists, which allow users to create categorized lists of their favorite, not so favorite, or any other grouping they choose of movies and TV Shows. I work primarily on the HTML, CSS and JavaScript utilizing the built in Rails functions where necessary.

Flowers Winery needed an overhaul on their old web presence and came to DESIGN about TOWN for help. A design was decided upon and revised and once that happened I started development on the new Flowers Vineyard & Winery website. This site utilizes WordPress content types for the News and Events section, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay accolades among others.

A distributor portal is built in to allow people in the trade access depending on their location from a centralized login. jQuery was also used to provide an animated navigation and timeline section which can be maintained easily by the site administrator without needing to look at a single piece of code.

Pivot Conference is a website dedicated to information and registration for a marketing conference for brand marketers. It was built using the core blogging functionality that WordPress is known for. jQuery is utilized to produce an animated navigation and some rotational animation that before could only be accomplished with Flash. Widgets are utilized heavily in the sidebars to promote the conference and give information to visitors on the site what the conference is all about.

Exhibit and Tradeshow Consultants is a full service exhibit house specializing in all things portable displays and large custom exhibits. When they came to me needing a redesigned web presence and an easy-to-use interface to maintain their content I needed a CMS with a quick and easy-to-use interface. The site is built using WordPress and a few customized plug-ins to power the galleries and database of exhibit options.
