Cyan of the Times

Once again I am short on time but heavy on work. Here are my latest two sites:

I don’t have much time to update this but here is the lowdown:

Douglas Construction:

http://www.douglascr.com/

I redesigned their logo (not in the original scope of work, but I felt like it *had* to be done so I just did it for them). Then built out their custom design and their site. This site has a lot of mini galleries throughout which I felt was a nice touch. This is probably my favorite design lately.

 

World Wide Auto Body:

http://www.worldwideautobodync.com/

Another similar build. Used their old logo – but their branding was more firmly established so I wasn’t going to mess with it. I am so fortunate to have a wonderful writer to help generate content. She is a godsend. I handle everything else, but having her makes projects go so much more quickly and our clients are so appreciative. After the project is done, we have a team of 3 (including our writer) that handles the SEM and social media. They do a great job. They also closely monitor Analytics and give full reports.

 

Occupy Greensboro:

http://occupygreensboro.org/

This site had to be built QUICKLY so yes, it is a template theme. I will probably be able to customize the CSS more as time goes on but the focus on this site was on functionality. It has a BuddyPress system that allows it to act as a stand alone social network but also integrates with Facebook. Also imperative was full web 2.0 integration as soon as this site was created. As the movement carries on it will become a great funnel for media and resources to help people understand what’s going on in our country and connect with each other so we can hopefully learn new ways to create better lives for ourselves. We are taking our futures back.

 

I have a few other sites built out, but their still on test domains for now so I won’t link them up. I’ll provide a list of links for the sites in the previous blog post eventually – I’m actually going to rebuild my portfolio galleries at some point this year hopefully.

I’m also looking for a developer with WordPress experience and a knack for jQuery to help me out. I’d rather have someone with programming skills than design skills so email me links to work samples if you are interested in working with me as a freelancer.

I’ve been incredibly busy lately.. with a handful of projects in the works. Here is a quick glimpse at the work I’ve been doing..

There’s a lot more to come also. I’ve learned more in the past 2 months than I did during the first 6 months of the year, and I learned more in those 6 months than I did in the past 2 years. I’m accomplishing career goals. I love this profession because you never stop learning and the possibilities are endless. I plan to build more and more custom themes and as I develop my CSS skills I’d like to do some that have some really unique characteristics as well as some really cool jQuery… we shall see. I still want to do colab projects with people, artists, musicians, performers, etc. that are passionate about what they do to give me the opportunity to do some unique things and experiment with code.

Also you should check out the company I am doing a lot of this work for, Triad Search Marketing, their SEO and SEM work is outstanding and genuine. I’m currently doing a redesign of their site now and that’ll be done in the next month.

I can’t even keep up with the photography work I’ve been doing on this site or my Flickr. All I can say is check out Evolution Fight Academy on Facebook. Most of the photos just go up there. I’m also redesigning their site as well so I’ll post about that when it’s finished. I’m very glad to be doing the work that I’m doing and also the training at EFA and 9round boxing and kickboxing.
