Samples of Our Work
Small Business
-
WildIrisDigital.com/webdesign
(the website you are viewing now) is an
example of our approach to web page
design:
- Clean xhtml
- quick-loading (especially pages
without images)
- Utility - although we are
concerned about "appearances";
performance is more important to
us.
- Intuitive site navigation; easy
to find your way around.
- Clear communication (at least we
hope that most visitors will find the
information and answers they are
looking for without too much
difficulty)
-
WildIrisDigital.com/photography - is
our sister site; show-casing our passion
for photography.
- We demonstrate our modest graphic
ability in the header graphics.
- We take on the challenge
presented by liquid
design and allow our images to
"float" where they will.
-
Photo CD / Portfolio - a proto-type
- This xhtml product can by used to
showcase a model's portfolio on-line
and or on a CD that they can
distribute.
- It does not currently include a
built-in slide show, but it should be
relatively easy for most viewers to
explore the CD on their computer and
"play as a sideshow" using any of the
existing slide show programs on their
computer.
- The Photo CD layout can present
four image sizes/formats:
- thumbs
- 400x600px (depending on
camera and crop of
photo)
- 800x600px (depending on
camera and crop of
photo)
- and a master file for
printing or further editing
purposes
This design might also be
incorporated as a gallery in a
variety of websites.
Technical, Reference and Instructional
sites:
-
Glow Rod Tip Repair - This 5 page
tutorial site was built a few years ago.
As a cable technician, I saw a need for
such a repair tutorial and created this
site with photos and step-by-step
detailed instruction.
- We've learned a lot about
webdesign since this tip repair
tutorial was constructed and, given
the time, we may go back and rework
the layout, but we've added this to
our portfolio to illustrate the
usefulness of such an online
technical resource.
- Offering such a reference to
employees or customers might prove
invaluable.
-
High Speed Internet Technician Guide
- This is a "walk thru" demo of a
technician resource I built when I worked
as an HSI technician. I found a need for
a way to create one single resource for
the huge amount of information that I was
responsible for. If you look at the menu
of the screen shot on the right side of
the screen you will get a sense of how
extensive this resource was, including:
- Company policy and protocol
within a variety of install/repair
scenarios.
- Customized instructions for a
variety of operating systems.
- Cable modem manufacturer specific
information and driver info.
- Connectivity performance
tests.
- Troubleshooting (again customized
to each operating system).
- And much, much more ...
Imagine how useful it was to have
all of these resources available to me in
the field - just a click away (both on a
CD and online); much better than thumbing
thru a loose-leaf binder.
Editorial
-
an Accidental Tourist
- For a time, it seemed that
"blogs" were all the rage. We
designed, "hand-built" (no blogger
software) and maintained this blog
for a little over a year.
Community
-
Ringo
and Shane - a site we built free of
charge to assist someone in urgent need
of locating a new home for her two cats.
- This is perhaps an example of how
we focus on the "utility" aspect of a
web page. Our aim was to be straight
forward, logical and concise in our
content; including everything a
potential adopter might need to know
- laid out in a clean easy to follow
format.
