Chris Pot­ter Photo

November 18th, 2011

Chris Pot­ter recently had me redesign his pho­tog­ra­phy web site. The old site was in a blog for­mat and con­tained his “photo a day” project, where he added a new photo each day for an entire year. For the redesign, he wanted to fea­ture these pho­tos promi­nently and make it eas­ier to view all 365 of them. I took all of these images and com­bined them into one slideshow gallery. Then I framed the entire gallery in what looks like a view screen on the back of a camera.

Tamarack Custom Builders

November 11th, 2011

Tama­rack Cus­tom Builders are known for apply­ing sus­tain­able ideas to their cus­tom built homes and remod­els. Owner Mike Potts and his tal­ented crew were some of the first in the Mar­quette area to embrace green and sus­tain­able build­ing tech­niques. I designed and devel­oped a web site for Tama­rack Cus­tom Builders ear­lier this year. The site includes a blog, a sec­tion to show­case the var­i­ous projects they’ve done, and of course the usual infor­ma­tion about and meth­ods to make con­tact with them.

July 25th, 2011

So, you finally have your own blog. Now what? You’ve been anx­iously await­ing the moment, and now that you have the abil­ity to share your thoughts with the entire world, you can’t think of any­thing to say. Maybe you feel intim­i­dated by the whole con­cept of a world-wide pub­lish­ing sys­tem at your fin­ger­tips. Maybe the user inter­face of your blog­ging soft­ware or CMS (Con­tent Man­age­ment Sys­tem) is con­fus­ing and dif­fi­cult to use. Maybe you’re sec­ond guess­ing your own ideas.
