One more to do off my list!

The end of the year is near and it is making me want to get everything finished so I can start 2011 fresh. I needed to finish the gallery for the Frederick County Civil War Roundtable website and I just did. I think it is pretty cool and informative. Take a look.

Now when I'm going to have time to update my own website?

New Web Design: The Uniform Store

A few months ago I was hired by the owner of The Uniform Store in Winchester, VA to redesign their website. They wanted the site to reflect the look and atmosphere of the store. After a couple designs after seeing photos of the store, the new Uniform Store website was born. The illustrations in the site are done by artist Tracey Buchanan, who I also designed a site for.

New Website: Rehabilitation of Frederick

Two years ago I walked into their office. Now I am a fully licensed driver. It took a lot of driving lessons and a lot of hours driving around. We inevitably had to talk about our lives.

ROF: So, what do you do?

Me: I am a web graphic designer.

ROF: Oh yeah. That is one thing I have to do one of these days.

Well, that day has arrived. The simplified version for now. We got to start somewhere.

New Web Design: FCCWRT

Take a look at the web site I just designed. It is for the Frederick County Civil War Round Table. The Civil War sesquicentennial (that is a 150 year anniversary, I had to look it up) is coming up next year so this is an exciting time for them.

Honor thy Mother

In honor of Mother's Day here is a one-page portfolio web site I quickly designed for my Mom awhile ago.

New Web Design

I just finished the website James Hearts Kari. They are a couple that is getting married in Frederick soon. They wanted a site similar to their wedding invitation. Visit the site here.

My Website Redesigned... Finally!

In Puerto Rico there is a saying that translated literally says:

In the house of the knifemaker they have wood knifes.

I'm sure there is something similar in English. But basically it refers to when you do something for a living you do it for other people and never have time to do it for yourself. I was a quilter for many years and I always slept under a store-bought comforter. I had a quilt designed on my head for my bed but never had time to make it.

I designed my website a year ago and almost didn't update it for a whole year. It looked pretty sad. Finally this summer I said "I'm going to redesign my web site no matter what!" and I did. Here is the result.

I'm pretty happy with it and have received good comments on it. I have a few more ideas for it but if I keep waiting until it is perfect, I'll never get it published! One of the negative comments I received was that it was too personal and not very business-like. I wanted to show a little personality and sense of humor and not have a website like every other designer out there. What do you think?

New Web Design

I finished this site a while ago but forgot to post it. Tracey is a great artist and with a great sense of humor. This is the first site I fully integrated a shopping cart. It has over 100 products! I wasn't happy when I found out I missed spelled a word in all products after the site was finished.

New Web Design

I finished this website a couple months ago but I think I never posted it here. I present to you Tabor Fit & Fabulous. It has music, just warning you...

New Website Design

I wanted to show you the website I designed for Charlotte and Ike Erwin. She does marbling he is a bookbinders. And now they have a website.


The Letter of the Day is L and I can say I made a lovely website but I'm not going to. I'm working on something else. Stay tuned...

Start the year off right?

I had the best of intentions. I wanted to start the year off right. I wanted to get things out of the way and start with a clean slate. So I made a list of ten things I was going to do yesterday. I got two of them done. Not a great start. But I should have known this was not going to be a great start when I sent an email to every family and friend on my list wishing them a happy new year and didn't realized that I was wishing them a Happy 2007! Or when I was invited to the Annual Games Day at I Colori Divini and thought it was from 3-5 pm when it really started at 1 pm so I was two and a half hours late. But I did do some good things. I deposited some money into my savings account and I got a website done. Here it is:
