The past few months I’ve completed a bunch of new sites; more than I’ve been able to write about. 2 other sites launched in December include one for Aperture 24, a video production company, and one for Dimensional Mail, a division of Impressions Inc. printing company. Both feature a black, white, and red color scheme, and use of Flash as well as HTML.

For Aperture 24, the client had a site that was incomplete and needing revising. I rebuilt the existing site, changing it to a format the client could edit themselves using Adobe Dreamweaver. I made many design changes along the way, updating the site navigation and adding several video clips, embedded into the site pages using Flash.With Dimensional Mail, I took initial layouts designed by their staff and built the website. I also made an animation using Flash that shows a package morphing into a letter, emphasizing their service of direct mail packaging.You can view these and others in my online portfolio.

 In 2007, I partnered with some local design firms, helping create new websites for their clients. Two recently launched websites include Grassroots and Groundwork and Lange Research, both of which I built for Minneapolis design firm, Thebe Street. They created the layouts and I built the site, adding Flash animations, images, CSS styles, and the HTML pages.While I typically design and build sites for small businesses by myself, these projects were good opportunities to team up with other local designers in need of an experienced web designer and developer. Grassroots and Groundwork is the local nonprofit arm of Northwest Airlines, and Lange Research works with businesses and schools to develop educational programs.
