A few website samples

*Some sites have been changed by the clients since initial development. Click on the images below to view the original design.

Elgin Fire Barn No. 5 Museum
Currently Under Construction

Challenge: This museum had no web presence. They wanted a web site that reflected their historical purpose while presenting a modern, professional organization.

Solution:This site provides information about the museum and the history of fire fighting. Use of Flash elements elicit the "back in time" feel which is available for us today. This site also has the ability to accept donations.

Glen Ellyn Bible Church
Site Link: www.gebible.org

Challenge: The pre-existing web site for this church had grown stale with outdated information and a general lack of attention.

Solution: A complete redesign of the site brought it back to life. Contemporary look, fresh graphics and an intuitive navigation compliment the site. An interactive calendar feature makes it easy for staff to update events on their respective web pages. Adobe Contribute is used by the staff to update their own content.

Photos of the Heart - Artistic Photography
Site Link: www.osullivanphotography.com

Challenge: This photographer creates both artistic still-life and portraiture photographs and needed to display both styles, but didn't want the site to appear chaotic. She also wanted to be able to add and delete her own photos as needed.

Solution: The result was to develop a landing page where the viewer chooses to enter either still-life/landscape or portraiture. A text link is provided to go back and forth between the two sections.

Both sites utilize inline frames to provide ease of viewing - no need to scroll the entire page to view the different examples of work.

*Site Link: www.gepl.org

Challenge: This client had their logo, collateral materials and web site all redesigned for a new look and feel by another vendor. They required development of a new site based on this third-party's design.

Noonday Ventures
Site Link: www.noondayventures.com

Challenge: This business relationship firm needed a web site to present their company information, as well as inform the viewer about the importance of their services. A third-party designed their web page layout, and they needed development of the site.

Solution: Inline frames were used in this site to maintain the integrity of the page design, regardless of the length of page content. The site offers company information, examples of real-life scenarios, and reasons your firm might need their services. Flash navigation was used to fulfill all the requirements of the client.
