Company: OPPM International
Summary: Clark Campbell’s series, The One-Page Project Manager is a best selling set of books that details how to manage and report on projects of any size using a single spreadsheet. His method is used by large companies and education institutions worldwide. Clark decided it was time to take his concept online and hired myself and my brother, Davey Harding to redesign his existing site and also create a web app that had all the functionality needed to manage the OPPM process in a simple “wizard” format.
I used Adobe Photoshop to design the new layout and a combination of ColdFusion, Flash video, jQuery and HTML/CSS for the code side. The e-commerce piece was handled by Davey (built on AuthorizeNet) as was the web app portion of the site which will be launching later this summer.
Web Address: www.LuganoRestaurant.com
Company: Lugano Restaurant
Summary: Lugano is a nationally-acclaimed Italian restaurant in Salt Lake City that wins award after award for their awesome food and cool atmosphere. Their website needed an updated look and feel to better match the restaurant.
I used Adobe Photoshop to create the new layout. Lugano wanted to incorporate some amazing tile that they have in their kitchen into the design, so I pulled that into the background of the secondary pages. The site was built on the Drupal CMS framework so most of my HTML/CSS work was spent building a custom Drupal template. I also used the SlideShowPro Flash plugin to create a rotating photo spot for the home page.
Web Address: www.NorthFace1967.com
Company: We Aspired Productions
Summary: North Face, 1967 is an amazing documentary in post-production about what has been called “the impossible rescue” which took place on the north face of the Grand Teton. You can read more about this amazing story here and here. The production team needed a simple site that captured the gritty feeling of the film, told the story and allowed them to gather funding donations via PayPal.
I used Adobe Photoshop and old photos of the rescuers and the Grand itself to create a design as chilling as the story itself. The site was coded in web standards HTML using CSS for layout. I also used the SlideShowPro Flash plugin to create a photo gallery of pictures past and present.

Company: Russo’s on the Bay
Summary: It was time for Russo’s to update their wedding reception/event center website and they wanted something that better captured the look and ambiance of their location. Telestory Pictures was contracted by Russo’s on the Bay to develop and build their website and media materials. TeleStory Pictures hired me as a freelance web designer for the project.
Using Adobe Photoshop I combined elements from interior photos taken of their building to create the design. The home page was created in Flash and it changes from a day photo to a nighttime photo if you visit in in the evening. The site is programmed in ColdFusion using an open source CMS (Content Management System) called Mura. This gives the Russo’s access to edit all of their content (no HTML required) and add new content as necessary. Telestory Pictures also created some awesome videos and virtual tours that you can see in the media section of the site.

Company: Discovery Expeditions & Adventures
Summary: Discovery Expeditions & Adventures is a travel company that specializes in adventure trips to Israel, Petra, Africa and Peru. They also do custom tours to just about anywhere you want to go. They needed a logo and web design that matched the adventurous feeling of their trips.
The client had scanned an old ink drawing of a camel that he wanted to incorporate into the logo. I used Adobe Illustrator to create an old-style travel sticker for the logo. I then used Adobe Photoshop to design the site. The site is programmed in ColdFusion using standards based html and css. I used Adobe Flash and SlideShowPro to create the photo gallery on the home page and the jQuery Lightbox plugin to create the individual photo galleries on each trip’s page.
I also started a social media campaign for the client including a tumblr blog and Twitter and Facebook accounts. I carried that brand across to these sites as well and gave the client a tutorial on how to best use them to increase business.
It was a very fun project to work on and I am very pleased with how it turned out.
Web Address: www.LongIslandBrideandGroom.com
Company: Long Island Bride and Groom
Summary: Telestory Pictures was contracted by Long Island Bride and Groom to develop and build their website and media materials. TeleStory Pictures hired me as a freelance web designer for the project.
This was a very challenging project that involved redesigning an existing wedding website with hundreds of pages, multiple admin portals and account pages and tons of content. The site was built in ASP and the content pulls from a SQL database. Our job was to take the existing code infrastructure and give it a new look and feel. This not only included the basic site template, but also coming up with more efficient/usable ways to display the content including text, videos, and client images.
The old site design (especially the home page) suffered from content overload and was very busy. One of our goals was to clean up and simplify the design without losing any of the crucial elements. What made this tricky was that we needed to design a site that looked new but operated on the existing backend admin tool and code that the client uses. The before and after picture above is an example of how we accomplished this.
