Background
It also involves the structure of the website design including the information architecture (navigation schemes and naming conventions), the layout or the pages (wireframes or page schematics are created to show consistent placement of items including functional features), and the conceptual design with branding.
Client: Promoters Gala
This is a Word Press and Buddy Press integration web site I designed and coded for Promoters Gala located in downtown Minneapolis. I Integrated Buddy Press with a Customized Theme I created in PHP. I created customized profile websites for registered users along with many features including but not limited to Instant Messaging, Video, Adio upload capabilities and an integrated Google map plug-ins. Its a nice site a little on the heavy side but has a lot of functional features the client wanted to add.
- Description: The general approach to this project was to give promoters a new outlet to promote for their events. The site is ment to bring promoters and artist together on one website so they can all communicate and collaborate on new ideas and have the ability to book artists easily.
- Skills: Wordpress, Buddy Press, Dreamweaver, Filezilla, PHP, XHTML, CSS, jQuery, Illustrator, Photoshop CS4 and Photography.

Client: Joe Ryan Stephens
This is a stand alone web site I designed and coded for Joe Ryan Stephens to meet my graduation rquirements. I Integrated jQuery framework along with XHTML, CSS3 and PHP. I spent a great deal of time on the design and layout following the 960 grid layout for eye appeal and overall look and feel.
- Description: The general approach to this project was to to keep a one page website so the user never has to wait for another page to load. I used jQuery and Javascript to achieve this functionality along with some PHP code.
- Skills: Dreamweaver, Filezilla, PHP, XHTML, CSS, jQuery, Illustrator, Photoshop CS4 and Photography.

Client: My Twin Cities
This is a web site I designed and coded in Wordpress for My Twin Cities located in downtown Minneapolis. I basically simplified the admin controls by compressing them. I also add many upgrades for portable phones and other enhancements with these areas. Its a nice site very light code and has a lot of functionality on the screen with an intricate back end control.
- Description: The general approach to this project was to make it simple with a light gradient background and a simple div lay out. The intention of this I believe was to have them accept sponsors to site and host ads later on.
- Skills: Wordpress, Dreamweaver, Filezilla, PHP, XHTML, CSS, jQuery, Illustrator, Photoshop CS4 and Photography.
