I
have worked on over dozen web projects, and I am highly
experienced when it comes to building attractive and
effective web sites.
These
are web sites that I've built for companies and individuals
as part of my small company, Impact
Web Design. Please
feel free to check out "the workmanship" and see how typical
sites I build look and feel. These sites are basically
listed with the more recent ones on top.
Portfolio of My
Clients
GraceAnn
Handcrafted Jewelry. A summer 2000 project, I set
up a site with dozens of photos of different types
of bridesmaids' jewelry for this Chicago-area
business. Digital photography was done at client's
location, and photos were incorporated into a price
list of the most commont types of jewelry ordered
for weddings. The
Gulf Breeze Mobile Home
Park.
The Gulf Breeze Park is a mobile home park for
seniors located near Clearwater, Florida. The site
includes photos of the area, maps, and photos of
mobiles homes for sale or rent. The
Sand Dunes Motel.
Perhaps my finest work. The Sand Dunes is an
oceanfront motel in Kure Beach, North Carolina.
This site includes area information, photos of the
rooms and surroundings, contact information, and a
table of the rates. See also
BeachFrontVacationsInc.com. Admiral's
Quarters.
This is another motel located in North Carolina,
just south of Wilmington. Its owners had heard good
things about me from the owner of the Sand Dunes
Motel, and contacted me about a web site for their
business as well. This site also includes photos of
the rooms, buildings, etc., as well as a rate chart
and information about local attractions. Trading
Dynamics, Inc. The president of this nationwide
computerized day trading company contacted me about
revising and improving the appearance of his
company's site. The site utilizes javascript
"rollovers" and animation. This site is not visible
online due to lack of payment from the
client. The
Greater Rockwell Organization. GRO is a local
community improvement group on Chicago's North
side. GRO makes efforts to keep my Chicago
neighborhood clean, safe, and gang-free. It is
currently under construction, but when complete,
their site will include past issues of the
newsletter, joining information, and other relevant
info. The
TERSCH.com Project.
This is actually a personal project of mine... It's
a huge collection of free photos, digital camera
information, essays, schoolwork, projects, MIDI
music, desktop pictures, information about Chicago,
and much, much more. It's is still extremely
incomplete and is about 10% to 15% complete. (It's
a work in progress, and will remain so for a long
time, since my clients' sites are obviously the top
priority.) Sheet
Metal Werks, Inc.
This company manufactures sheet metal ductwork,
etc., for nationwide clients. Their site is a good
example of the typical type of work I do. It
includes numerous scanned photos, and a clean,
non-disruptive, yet attractive
appearance. Perfect
Temperature
Control,
Inc. I created an attractive, effective web site
for this heating and air conditioning company. The
site has a clean, user-friendly look and includes
maps on how to get to their building, a few scanned
photos, a discount coupon, and more. Resch
Fest '98.
A large family (relatives of mine) were having a
family reunion, and wanted to have t-shirts for
everyone there, which celebrated the event. They
drew a simple 'logo' to have on the shirts, and
asked me to add various text, change the size and
color of different objects in their drawing, etc. I
then printed out the new image on transfers for
t-shirts. Robert
"Coach" Kehoe. Coach Kehoe, who taught computer
literacy and programming at Gordon Tech High
School, wanted a professional web site to promote
his business as an independent distributor of the
Flashnet internet service provider, as well as his
computer consulting business, Custom Computer
Consulting. His site incorporates many custom
graphics, invisible tables, and two simple
forms. Lorans
Saleh, an independent distributor of the Flashnet
internet service provider and D.J. Lorans needed a
quality and affordable web site to promote his
Flashnet business and his DJ service, and had heard
good things about my web page skills from a
previous client of mine. I created an attractive
three page site incorporating a small form,
numerous custom graphics, and background music on
his page for his DJ service. The
Business/Industrial Technology department's pages
for Gordon Tech's web site. I used an effective and
very simple design, utilizing frames, to create
this section of the site. Gordon
Tech High School's Foreign Language department's
pages. I used a clean and simple design, utilizing
frames, to create this department. I also created
the animated 3D text visitors first saw upon going
to the Gordon Tech High School web site, although
it is no longer present. Although very disorganized and
amateurish, my personal page has personal
information, links to various sites, midi music,
and some nice examples of special effects I can do
on photos. It also uses frames and an image map...
and a lot of pointless, flashy things in general.
This was my first project, back in early 1997. (It
has changed very, very little since
then!) Impact
Web Design
web site. Obviously, I created the site you're at
right now. I incorporated a form, invisible tables,
an image map, and a few custom title and background
graphics. Overall, my goal was to make an
attractive site that would be simple and load
quickly, while still looking somewhat cutting edge.
I implemented small javascripts on the links to
different parts of the company site, so when your
move the mouse over them, you see a short
description of the page the link goes to, not the
address of that page. This site was totally
redesigned in late February 1999, to keep up with
the growth and improvement of my company. (The old
site was not put together as well, and didn't
accurately reflect the kind of work I really do at
Impact.)
Your
company can have an attractive and effective web site,
too! Just contact
