Web Design & Development

Tata & Howard Incorporated, Westboro, MA

click to visit
I was contracted to complete an entire overhaul of this client’s site and deliver Dreamweaver templates to the client to allow non-technical staff to maintain and update the site. Once the design was agreed upon, I was responsible for porting all of the content from their old site to the new layout and developing CSS stylesheets and JavaScript code to allow the client to add new material to the site without having to hand-code HTML or JavaScript.
Carl Vigeland, Amherst, MA

A small, personal site I am working on for a writer in western Massachusetts. We are currently working on integrating the RSS feed from his blog directly into the site.
Primo's Restaurant & Pizzeria, Medway & Westwood, MA

click to visit

Primo's Westwood location is an established Italian eatery and their new location in Medway is a surprisingly cozy place—despite it's location in a shopping center—for some great Italian food.

This website was created to provide an online presence for the owners who are hoping to let more people in the area learn about the restaurant and try their great food. I reccommend the Cioppino (shrimp, scallops, lobster & cod in a seafood broth with fresh tomatoes, scallions and mushrooms) and, of course, the Pizza!

24 Shades of Green (in development)

24 Shades of Green offers classic women's clothing in a wide variety of custom fabrics. For this project, the client needed a database driven solution to allow customers to select from available styles and fabrics. The client also needed a custom shopping-cart and customer-management solution as there were no off-the shelf products that were designed to handle the number of fabric options available for each style. We also developed web-based inventory and customer management tools so the client could manage her site from any Internet-connected computer.
Mickey Cassidy's Irish Restaurant and Public House, Medway, MA

 

Mickey Cassidy's Irish Restaurant and Public House wanted a web site to coordinate with their grand opening. The site was built to reflect the Irish humor and character of the restaurant in addition to standard pages containing menus and entertainment listings.

In addition to regular weekend entertainment, Mickey Cassidy's also showcases traditional Irish music talent from Ireland. To help bring some of the spirit of Ireland to the web I created audio and video of several events for visitors to experience a taste of the festivities from their home or office.

   
Melrose Police Department, Melrose, MA
(completed as contract for Perini Communications, Inc.)

 

Working with Perini Communications, I developed a clean web interface for the city of Melrose police department. The client had a lot of information to present so part of the challenge was to develop an easy to use navigation system while keeping enough screen real-estate for the information they wanted to present.

The site was handed over to Melrose Police Department with a set of Dreamweaver templates so they could continue to maintain and add content without having to worry about any coding.

   
Hopkinton High School Technology Education Department
(developed while teaching technology classes at HHS)

 

This site was developed to create a portal for all technology classes at Hopkinton high school. It may be destined to remain a work in progress since no one has taken over the project since I left, but it was a fun chance to play around with a non-conventional page and navigation design.

   
Technologies 'N Typography
(developed while employed at Technologies 'N Typography)

 

TNT combines the art of typography with the latest hardware and software technology to provide typesetting services to the publishing industry.

In addition to the graphical design elements of the site we needed to create a secure login area for clients to download software that TNT developed. Active Server Pages were also used to build a secure FTP application to allow clients and compositors to send and receive files.

   

Other Web Projects & Design Studies

Educational Philosophy Project - Framingham State College

 

Rather than turn in a gigantic paper chart diagramming the distinctions among educational philosophies (as was assigned) I created a CD-ROM based version to turn in. (I got an "A"..)

Snowman Flash Project

I was trying to teach myself how to create animations with Macromedia Flash. The timing is a little off but it was a fun first project--enjoy!
 
Planetary Explorer Project

click to view
Another experiment with Flash and a cool (and free) piece of software called TerraGen. I tried to use the images from TerraGen in a Flash movie to make the backdrop for the spaceship landing. (Nothing's wrong with your computer--there's no sound.)
