Central Virginia Neurosurgery
Neurosurgery Website + Flash - Lynchburg, VA
Central Virginia Neurosurgery was formerly a part of Centra Health and has recently become an independent practice. To commemorate their independence, we put together a new website for the company. The royal combination of blue and gold gives the design a feeling of maturity and reliability. It was important to the client that they be pictured on the site, to show that they are personally invested in their clients. The design is a balance of professionalism and personalization, to reflect the mission of the company it represents. This website was also built in Flash, and was completed with the cooperation of Dayrich Enterprises.

Plastic Surgery Associates of Lynchburg
Plastic Surgery Website + Flash - Lynchburg, VA
This website design was a part of a total marketing transformation for Plastic Surgery Associates. In order to fit in with the rest of their advertising campaign I worked with Dayrich Enterprises to develop a neutral, soothing design for this Flash based website. Tans, browns and creams make up the color palette, which allow the stock photos of models to pop against the neutral background. Fading transitions ease the viewer from page to page, and a pop-up navigation bar keeps the site organized. The before and after photo gallery shows past clients' results, while an interactive contact form allows viewers to get in touch with the company.

The Vintage Junkie
Retail Jewelry Website + E-Commerce - Lynchburg, VA
Amy Calandra is a talented local artist and The Vintage Junkie, a collection of re-purposed vintage jewelry and accessories, is her second business venture. With her eye for design, Amy had a lot of input in the creative production of this website. The soft colors and textured background contribute to the shabby-chic look that was the artist's vision. Many of the graphics in the header of the page are either original creations, or stock illustrations that have been altered significantly. The site is hosted on a secure server for accepting online payments and includes an integrated e-commerce storefront where products are sorted and sold by category.

St. John's Church
Church Website + Logo Design + CMS - Lynchburg, VA
St. John’s is modern parish located in a beautiful church off Rivermont Avenue in Lynchburg’s Historic District. From a new logo to a customized photo gallery, the St. John’s website received a complete makeover. As a site with 20+ pages, St. John’s had a lot of content and some of it needed to be reorganized. Instead of one long navigation menu, there are drop-down tabs for eight core menu items. A Content Management System allows the leaders at St. John's to update the content of the site on their own schedule. Wine red, olive green and a golden yellow are accent colors used throughout this clean white design.

James T. Davis Paint Center
Retail Paint Store Website - Lynchburg, VA
James T. Davis has been a Lynchburg business for more than 70 years. The company has continually evolved into the modern paint resource that it is today, and they needed a website to reflect that. We updated from the previous colors of teal and soft red to brighter and more eye-catching shades of blue with red and white accents. The company offers many products and services, and so the website is built to accommodate a large amount of text and photo content. The FAQ feature allows customers to interact with employees, asking questions and gaining painting tips and tricks. This project was a collaboration with Dayrich Enterprises.

Emily Shaffer
Acting Portfolio Website - New York, NY
Emily’s primary concern for this website was getting her presence out on the web in a way that really represented her as an artist. In fulfilling Emily’s aesthetic I used a subtle but effective textured background pattern layered with a teal and orange color palate. The fonts used for this project were key in pulling the design together. While the two header fonts are very different from each other, they both lend themselves well to a modern design with definite antique tones. A light weight and cross-browser compatible CSS photo gallery shows off Emily's head shots using a hover feature that enlarges each photo upon rollover.

All About Family
Home Care Website + Logo Design - Richmond, VA
The first step for All About Family was creating a new logo to represent their company. The logo is simple, and true to the company’s compassionate identity. When choosing a color scheme for the site I took a cue from the company's bright and cheerful president, Dianne Inman. A sunny yellow coupled with burnt orange and the burgundy of the logo resulted in a bright website that is far from dull or washed out. For the website layout I chose a bold horizontal navigation bar under a gradient header that incorporated the logo. This along with a gradient footer makes up the foundation of the site, with well placed text, photos, maps and other elements arranged throughout.

Quality Calibrations, Inc.
Pipette Repair & Calibration Website + Logo Design - Deale, MD
Quality Calibrations, Inc. is a company that calibrates and repairs medical equipment for hospitals and universities in the Maryland/D.C. area. While their original site was an industry-appropriate clean, white design, the website needed more organization. By creating lines and boxes to separate text and images we are able to better control the viewer’s eye movement and ensure that no important information would be overlooked. The company's colors, peach and grey, are used strategically as accents to warm up the white background. Both stock and original images were used in the site, and a logo was created for the company.

Vance Julian Barber
Acting Portfolio Website + Photography - New York, NY
As this actor's career advances and evolves, so has his website. This is the second re-design of the website and this time the design reflects the brilliance and energy of Vance's personality. The text-photo overlap in the header was the starting point of the design, which uses bold colors to make a statement. With all of the content reduced to one page, this simple website contains all of the elements necessary to an actor's portfolio. The small photo gallery uses JavaScript to swap out the main photo with smooth transitions. The footer of the page lists contact information and links to Vance's other online ventures, including a podcast and a blog.

People's Blues of Richmond
Band Website + Photography - Richmond, VA
The People's Blues of Richmond is a wild young rock band causing quite a ruckus in Richmond and beyond. The site is an edgy black white with sharp pops of color that allows the music player at the bottom frame of the page to steal the show. A grunge font for the headlines paired with a sans-serif body font makes the site clean and easy to read, without crossing the line into boring. The large header section with changing images is consistent throughout the site, leaving the middle content area for variable content which the band can update themselves through a Content Management System. A selection of photos on the Media page are courtesy of GetCreative as well.

Shear Image Salon & Boutique
Hair Salon & Boutique Website - Midlothian, VA
When I met with Shear Image they knew right away the look they were going for in the shop. With a pink and black color scheme in mind, we created a swirly and sophisticated logo for the shop which was met with much enthusiasm. One of the functions this site needed to serve was showcasing new and seasonal products from the boutique. By customizing an open source photo gallery, I was able to integrate a way for the client to add and manage photos of products on their own at any time. With a brief history of the salon on the Home page and profiles of the stylists on the Staff page, the site paints a sweet and accurate portrait of the shop.

Baker's Kitchen
Bakery Website + Logo Design - Richmond, VA
Baker’s Kitchen is a Wedding and Special Events Bakery in Richmond, Va. As a wedding photographer in Richmond I had worked with (and sampled cakes from) this bakery numerous times before they came to me for a website. The main target market for Baker’s Kitchen is brides and other event planners, the majority of whom are women. A light and whimsical design with varying shades of blues and yellows was a perfect fit, with white and brown accents to create easy-on-the-eyes contrast. A set of custom-designed photo galleries, to showcase their beautiful cakes, added the finishing touches to the site.

dmfoto
Photography Splash Page Design + Photography - Midlothian, VA
dmfoto uses Flash Templates for their extensive photography websites, and needed an informative landing page for viewers. The splash page is soft and neutral, with a textured background that allows the real emphasis to be on the photos. As a photography company image quality and aesthetics are of high importance. The live splash page uses a rollover effect that shows each image in full color to entice viewers to click through. As the only color before the rollover effects, the logo really pops with contrasting bright red and black. Information below the fold helps increase search engine traffic and keeps clients informed.
