Wellspring Website and Blog

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.

The blog is specially crafted to appeal to women, as Wellspring is targeted exclusively at women. The use of organic, swirling forms, a paper-like background, and a purposeful lack of “Read More” links were all elements that we put into the site for that reason.

I created the Wellspring logo and corporate identity a few months before we created the site. I also helped Wellspring by setting up their hosting service and registering their domain name.

Zimmerman Carpet and Rug Cleaners

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 cleaning business for almost twenty years. I began working with him, and stayed on full time for five years while I built my Design business on the side.

ZCC is a company that first and foremost is all about quality. If they had to choose between doing work that was of the utmost quality versus doing work that wasn’t as good, but getting more business, they would always choose losing business but keeping quality high.

I created a new identity for them, with a modified, realigned logo and typography choices, solidified color scheme and a new website.
