Kawartha Trails Resort

Kawartha Trails Resort, about 15 mins south of Peterborough, have been a great client to work with. This was a complete redesign. Content was taken from a previous site and one what was half built. A humble graphical design because the resort is in a dial-up area.

Haliburton Highlands Land Trust

My college project and still a client. HHLT is a great organization perserving the wilderness in the Haliburton Highlands area. Another business in a dial-up or satelite ISP area so image file size optimization is a key.

Frost Recreation

In this project, I was referred to the Athletic Director by a former teacher of mine to build a web site for the recreation department. Before, all that was there was some contact information which hadn't been updated since 1999. My goal was to design a site which utilized the branding of Fleming College and combine it with the aspects of sports. I incorporated the school's colours as much as possible into the header and navigation as sports teams are distinguished by colours. A linear layout was used as most playing surfaces are square, straight and outlined. The title, 'Frost Recreation', was designed to give it a bit of attitude, arrogance.

Paul Vanderhoek's Airbrush Studio

Ahhh, the very first site I designed when taking night classes! If you look at the source code you will notice it has a table layout which was how the class was taught. The next class I took, I learned about CSS and have never looked back. This site was hand coded in Notepad. 'My fingers!!!'

MY HOME TOWN

Map of Sunshine Coast, B.C., Canada from Google The Sunshine Coast

The Sunshine Coast is located a ferry ride away west from Vancouver, B.C. My home town is Sechelt (pronounced see-shelt), which is the gateway to the Sechelt Peninsula. The Sunshine Coast is famous for The Beachcombers, a long-running CBC television program and The Sechelt Nation, Canada's first self-governing aboriginals.
