The Faith Journey

The Faith Journey - beforeThe 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.

The Faith Journey - afterAs 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.

Jenni’s Western Drawings

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.

Kids First Learning Place

Kids First Learning Place was my very first paying design job after opening Dramatic Design. KFLP is a Daycare Center and Preschool right here in the small town of Middleville.

When I started this site, Kelly was operating out of her home, but had plans to open a large center once it was built. The website was a nice way for her to display pictures of the ongoing building process. This site incorporated monthly menu calendars, as well as the planned activity calendar.

The site was very profitable for Kelly. At one point, she told me that a family with four kids enrolled and their tuition alone would pay for her website for three years!

The screenshot above is actually a redesign for Kids First. It’s good to freshen things up from time to time.

Sharon Walker Ministries

Sharon Walker Ministries is a former client’s site. Sharon requested that I modify this template that she purchased online. It featured a flash header graphic that played a brief sound upon the opening of each page.

Sharon had me build several photo galleries into this site. I also integrated a calendar and a blog so that they worked seamlessly and appeared to be a part of the site, instead of third-party applications. We had a Verse-of-the-Day wiget next to her blog and sample chapters of her book that were downloadable.

Testimonial:

“Dramatic Design is an answer to my prayer. I wanted someone who understood “dramatic” in its highest form. Kim understood that in dealing with my personal level of dramatic excellence. She allows you to have a voice, and your own hint of creativity. Kim is patient, understanding, well equipped to handle difficult questions, and quite capable of creating a style just for the customer. I have enjoyed working with her, and look forward to other great dramatic designs she will create for us in the future! Excellent Job Kim, Thanks for everything.”
