Three new projects I can’t wait to show off

Quick Update: I have been working the last two weeks on three websites. One is a small static site that I pulled together for a friend. The two others are pretty involved wordpress sites. Once the domains are switched over, I’ll show them to you. In the meantime, I redesigned my resume here. I hope you like it. When these sites are done, I’ll get back to focusing on this site so I impress the locals! resume

A Series of Attorney Websites

This is my current project - lawyer websites! It tied so well into my name that I had to throw my mug in the mock-up. The template I'm making for this includes my first foray into the Google maps API! Updates soon.

Visit Site
My sister-in-law is a fantastic photographer, and oddly enough, a great client. I wanted to make a site that reflected her character, but I would have been shooting in the dark if she did provide me 1) a lot of content and 2) alot of input.

Practice Edge

Practice Edge is like a giant mechanical robot for doctors and dentists. A metaphor! They provide software, hardware, locations and furniture, facts and figures – all the tools a good doctor needs to fight the crime of unhealthiness – that is to say, they make clinics. I think they can even provide villains.
Practice Edge is a brand new consulting company. They wanted a very simple site and I can respect that. A lot of people simply do not need an overweening content management system. I signed them up for tumblr and made a feed into their news section.
I went very minimal with the design so that it can grow with the company. Then I had some fun with jquery. I’ll spare you my epic ode to open source and jquery for the moment, but I will tell you a little secret: these days, web design is less about what you can code and more about who you know. If you want to web design, subscribe to a ton rss feeds and create a network of plugins. Three plugins from this site all came from one man: the mighty Chris Coyier!
