Why don't I see a lot of Flash Sites here?
I like Flash, I do
Flash, but I seldom suggest a full Flash website. Flash is
cool, and extremely cool in some utility applications. But there are
several problems you should consider.
Lately, spyware thugs,
hackers, and a variety of other low life types are utilizing active X
controls on your PC to do their dirty work through your browser. A lot of people, businesses
especially are disabling active x in their browsers, and Flash
won't run without it.
Dial up users (over 50%
of the internet traffic), will hate you for forcing them to wait
through Flash Intros or Flash of any type for that matter. With Flash,
you really need 2
websites so you can redirect dial up users to the Non Flash - another
large expense to you.
When you consider that half the surfers will not waste
their time with a slow loading Flash site, and that 10% of the
internet users don't even have the Flash component installed, and
another 5% (and growing) number of users who have disabled active x and
you got a lot less viewers. If you are trying to get people to your
website, why would you want to alienate more than half of them.
Everyone clicks the "Skip Intro" link so why even have it?
As you go through my site you will see that I do use
Flash. I sincerely believe Flash is excellent for some situations so
please understand it's just a common denominator thing. If you feel
like most if not all of your viewers will be on broadband, and you
don't mind losing some of the business traffic, then Flash is cool and
has a place.
Impress with style and content. |

Branding is the latest cliche's but it's a good definition for making your company a known company. I brand website designs in all cases. The graphics I develop, such as custom logo designs, website templates, banners, flash animations, presentations, and so on, are designed specifiaclly to brand your company. You want them to know it's you when they see it and you want your logo brand to appeal to a variety of people - that's what I do, make it look like you. |

If you tell
me what you want, I can probably draw it... |

Artwork is fun for me, and I seem to be able to keep it unique and
edgy, or professional, or nostalgic, or whatever - I like doing
them all. I try hard to make your design as individual and
identifiable as possible while still maintaining the style you
want. Art design is a nice break from code work, but then again,
isn't everything?

Website
Templates (Front Ends) |

Brand Me,
baby! |
I never use stock website templates because they
are too fat and they all look too similar. Almost all of the templates you see
available on the internet today take over a
minute to load even without your data and images
in place. The templates I design typically load
within 15 seconds above the fold (top section of
a web page that the viewer sees first.). This
only matters to those on a dial up connection,
which is over 50% of the internet traffic.
My templates are fast loading, and always cross browser compatible.
I include CSS coding and Javascript (.js)
source files. I offer custom optimization for search engine spidering
as well. |

Sliced and
Diced |
After I draw the site template, I slice it into
little pieces. then I just use a few of the
little pieces to create the design. The web
pages I design utilize the small slices of
images as a background in various parts of the
page. Your browser automatically repeats the
image to produce long graphics section. So
instead of one big ol image, there's just a few
small ones so the page loads much quicker.
This reduces the load speed by more than 60%. Add that
to already highly optimized (low weight - fast
loading) graphics work and you have a fast
loading site. |

Squishy,
squish, squish. |
|
My sites typically expand on contract to fit the viewers
browser resolution. This is called making the site
"squishy". People viewing on the two most popular
resolutions (800X600, 1024X768) will see that the site looks
normal. The site will also look good in bigger, wider
resolutions or laptop resolutions. |
