Waterstone was a townhouse renovation by Bill Woods.  He needed a website to advertise the real estate aspects of the development so he could sell them as they became available.  I worked with a photographer and graphic designer to put her ideas into web form.  I always thought it was a very well designed site.

As you hover over the thumbnails around the outside of the Waterstone Crossing sign photo, the photo changes to a full size version of the thumbnail.  Pretty cool at the time.  No Flash. All Javascript.  Worked with every known browser and didn’t blow up with updates.

All of my work uses the best practices to balance design, usability, browser compatibility and search engine friendliness.  Is friendliness even a word when used with search engines?  I guess it is now.  Anyway, sometimes it’s a difficult juggling act, but I can usually pull it off.

This one was kind of a no brainer.  AJD is my brother, Allen.  When he needed a website for his engineering firm, who else would he call?  Even so, I didn’t want to just do something really simple for him.  I wanted to give him something trendy, cool and useful.  I think I did a pretty good job of it.

The drawing in the background is actually one of Allen’s.  I just took the Acad dwg file and did a little graphics work with it.  The slideshow uses Flash (I know, I know) but does it in a way that’s actually stable and doesn’t blow up every time Flash updates. (Can you tell I hate Flash?)

Also included is his resume and a link to contact him.  If you need something designed, he comes highly recommended.  Us Danskines are damn good at what we do.  :)

When they need a new look, they came to me through a referral from an old friend. The design work was mostly done, but they needed to take the vision and turn it into a well thought out and easy to navigate website. Big site, lots of work. I had fun with it.
