The Faith Journey is a unique church in the Brighton, Michigan area. The first design of this website is to the left. It was a nested-tables design, utilizing Cascade Style Sheets. A calendar was integrated into the design so the client could easily update events. This is an original design.

As the church grew, so did the need for a more advanced website. The client chose a pre-made template and I adapted it for the client. In addition to the calendar, this design (right) included a blog, and a download section for the weekly sermons on MP3. The menu was made from an image map.

Testimonial:

“Kim has been a great help to us in getting our website up and running in a very short time. She is always very responsive to us and very quick in getting the job done. She designed the look of our site and we have gotten many compliments on it. I would recommend having Kim help you if you need a quality site done quickly!”

Creagious Kids was a daycare and preschool in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Family owned and operated, Creagious was able to care for children 6-weeks-old through 12-years (for after school care).

This site relied heavily on Cascading Style Sheets for the look and feel of the site (notice the dashed line around the content). The site featured a flash menu, and a rotating mini-photo gallery at the top of each page, which changed pictures each time the page loaded or changed.

The client was able to easily update the site by writing entries in the blog and events in the calendar. Both applications seamlessly integrated into the design of the site.

Jenni is extremely talented with graphite pencil drawings. Her niche market is the rodeo fan.

This site was complete with a Paypal shopping cart, rotating mini-photo gallery on the home page, full-size photo gallery by category, and a featured drawing of the month. Jenni kept a blog on her site, writing each month about the featured drawing–her inspiration, the story behind the drawing, any special techniques used, and a special discounted price.

The second site design is shown above. The photo to your left shows a screenshot before the site was redesigned. Both are original designs by Dramatic Design.

“Kim is wonderful to work with! She really makes you feel special like you are her first rated client. Thanks a lot Kim, keep up the good work!”

Doing a redesign can freshen up the look of a site and encourage new traffic to your site. If you haven’t done a redesign in a while, it might be time to give it some thought.

Sandy’s Journal was created as a retirement present for her when she retired and was about to become a grandmother for the first time. The idea was for her to journal about her travels and new grandson. By blogging in her journal, she could keep in touch with the extensive international network of coworkers that she had established over the years. She would also have a keepsake record of her grandson’s visits and milestones.

The site included an extensive guestbook, which Sandy’s many coworkers and friends signed to wish her well. Each page also had a mini-photo gallery of rotating pictures that changed each time the page refreshed.

NBT Wear was a custom order embroidery and design wear site, built with a complete shopping cart system.  Paypal was used for the third-party credit card processing system.

The unique thing about this site was that each customer company could set up their section of the site with the products they wanted to offer and the site owner allowed shoppers to choose from those products, customizing with various sizes and colors. It was a rather complex shopping cart.

The site utilized custom graphics from Mitcher T Custom Painting & Design, who was one of the customer companies represented on the site. Other companies included the Hastings School District and Thornapple Valley Church.

This site was developed by modifying an existing template layout, using a table-style layout.
