Waaaay back in early 2008, I was hired by these wonderful people to do this. Now 2008 may not seem like a long time ago, but in internet years, it’s a lifetime. Web designers are born and die in the span of 4 years. Not really. In any case, I was quite the newbie back then, [...]

Jessica’s got a website! Woot! It’s awesome too. Totally her design. We went with WordPress so that she could manage the pages, blog area (commenting disabled, so it’s like a true journal), artwork uploads, etc. I created a custom menu structure for her that is loaded into a sidebar region, disabling the main top menu [...]
My father in law, Dave Fox, is a musician, composer, college instructor, and author. Quite a handful, huh?! He asked me to create a new website for him that would serve as a home base for all of this creative efforts. He wanted to be able to post upcoming gigs, have audio samples for people [...]
Mold Proof is a national network of mold remediation and prevention companies headquartered in Kernersville, NC. They are a featured provider on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and they offer a pretty incredible range of services to homeowners and businesses around the U.S. I was approached by the owner of Mold Proof’s parent company, Microbloc, LLC, [...]
The Grace Churches International (GCI) website design project was a ground-up full scale endeavor that began with assessing the GCI brand identity, surveying website administrators and visitors, and creating a solution that would meet the users’ needs and the goals of GCI. Wow that was a mouthful. It sounds really boring too—but it wasn’t! It [...]
Wake Forest University has a Translational Science Institute (TSI) which is dedicated to finding practical ways to help people with scientific discoveries. The TSI needed to do some fundraising with government and private agencies, primarily through a new online presence. I was brought on board to first develop a Content Management System (CMS) platform to [...]
Jon Fox is my brother-in-law, and has a blossoming music career. Blossoming is such a weird word. Jon is a singer songwriter who lives in a small cabin on a mountain in Tennessee, writing raw & honest songs about his passions. Jon hired me to do his album photography, package design, website design and to [...]
I was asked by the Greensboro Woman’s Club to create a new website design for them. They had an older site that no longer served their needs or their audience and needed a fresh look that would represent their now-younger members. The new site needed to convey the vibrancy and activity of the Club as [...]
The Affinity Art Gallery is a new non-profit art gallery located inside the facilities of Kernersville Community Church (KCC) in Kernersville, NC. Kernersville is at the dead-center of a region of North Carolina known as the Triad. It’s an area consisting of Winston-Salem, Greensboro and High Point. KCC is home to several artists, and along [...]
If you haven’t checked out the Identity and Branding Project: Awaken City Church post, you’ll probably want to. The website design is based upon the brand mentioned in that post. Awaken City Church needed several things: a way to quickly showcase upcoming events and sermon series, play videos, have realtime Twitter updates from various Twitter [...]
This was an interesting project for me, as it turned into a collaboration between me and my interior designer client. Jennifer Carter, owner of Lotus & Company had recently moved into the area and wanted to begin branding herself to reach the Greensboro market. She came to me with a solid vision, and I helped [...]
This is a website that I created for a small business that sells unroasted (green) coffee beans, home roasters, grinders and brewers. Their target audience is all over the place age-wise, with a slight majority of their customers being over the age of 50. The company is unique in the marketplace, as they have lots [...]
A local church is hosting a large, regional creative arts event, and hired me to head up the promotion for the event. I did some printed materials, as you can see above, including a 4×6 postcard design that functions as an invite card, with map and event information, and stands alone as a promotional piece, [...]
Another marketing component to the Awaken Youth Conference, the website needed to be a simple blog format that would encourage the leaders, speakers and workshop leaders to write articles. The purpose of it is to help the leaders get to know the students before the conference begins, and to let the students start conversations with [...]
This was an interesting and fun project to do. Grace Churches has had two previous websites, and neither one “filled the bill”, so the staff was a little wary to invest more money into a website. Once they realized what we were offering, with an easy to use Content Management System, integrated store functionality, blogging, [...]
Living Way Church, in Greensboro, NC is a growing church that’s getting filled up with young couples, but has some pretty deep historical roots dating back to the late 1970′s. The meetings are a mix of contemporary music, conservative teaching and people that love being together in community. I first created a corporate identity for [...]
This was a great project because I’m Moriah’s first customer. This is a new guitar builder, but the guys running it have been making guitars for at least 30 years. They had another company years ago, Zion Guitar Technology, but sold it when business slowed and moved on to other carpentry. Now they’ve reopened shop [...]
So for this project, my wife and I worked together to create both a static brochure-style website with a separate-but-unified blog. The static portion of the site has some interactive elements, like a user-controlled photo gallery and embedded videos. We created the videos on the site for various reasons, like special conferences and general promotion.
Zimmerman Carpet Cleaners (ZCC) is a company that I actually used to work for. When I graduated from Design school, there wasn’t much work for a designer, as that was during an economic downturn. When’s the last time we had an upturn? Anyway, Mike Zimmerman went to my church, and had been operating his carpet [...]
