Panamonte Rum

Three weeks ago, I had the privilege of starting a website design with aro Marketing (Charlotte, NC). The visual design had already been completed by another contractor and my part was to take it from an image to a website. Used HTML5/CSS/PHP under WordPress. When it goes live, you'll be able to view it at: www.thesmoothestrum.com

Silent Images

Current site - February 3, 2012

Recently, David Johnson at Silent Images (www.silentimages.org) spoke with me about redesigning their site's theme, focusing on the photographs. I took four hours to concept and draw up my ideas in Photoshop for just the homepage. The slider section, I would have made taller to fill most of the browser's screen and later add navigation buttons to the slider. Later he said that he had found someone to do his website's theme for free. So here are the results of my effort.

Homepage - first load with menu hidden

Buddy Boy Candy

My first retro-art design for a 1940s style. Started with the Wordpress TwentyEleven Theme, changed the name and modified/built-on the current code to design a new site for Buddy Boy Candy store located in Indian Trail, North Carolina. Created the header image from iStockPhoto selections. Built in to the parent theme is the adaptive code of responsive web design, which allows the site to adapt to screens for a desktop, iPad or mobile device; which I've tweaked for best view.

Leon and Sally Winter

Leon and Sally Winter needed a website for their supporters. Originally, they had it designed in basic HTML and hosted on a free server. That service failed, so I recommended Google Sites to them. I moved everything over to Google Sites for them and we worked through the extra tweaks after the transfer was done.
