Pacific Tattoo
Client: Trapeze
The Pacific Tattoo organization has introduced a new look for the August 2012 event, this included a new website and print collateral. The site is built on Wordpress and integrates with Dreamhost's Annoucement Lists for newsletter mailing list management.
Saanich Dental Group
Client: Oculus Design + Marketing / Larchgrove Marketing Group
This site was developed using Wordpress to showcase SDG's new web marketing initiatives.
New, focused page content provides the source material for social media and rendered video of procedures are perfect for communicating complex procedures to patients.
DEC Design Mechanical Consultants Ltd.
Client: Oculus Design + Marketing
This site was developed using the Wordpress CMS with a custom jQuery side scrolling interface that allows swiping on iDevices.
Oculus identified a number of usability examples from various existing software applications and hardware devices. We worked together to craft a unique usability experience that suits the client perfectly.
Lighthouse Brewing Company
Client: CloverPoint
This site was developed using the Wordpress CMS and presented a number of complex CSS challenges.
Using the initial Photoshop mockup as a base, I created a completely customized theme featuring multi-layered backgrounds and feature panels on the home page. The site includes the company's event calendar and Twitter stream.
Yokohama Tire (Canada) Inc. Mobile
Client: CloverPoint
Developing sites for mobile devices requires a different approach than for desktop browsers; this site was designed specifically to be viewed on iPhone and iPad. When a user visits the Yokohama website, a script detects the browser they are using and displays the appropriate site (desktop or mobile). The mobile version of the site rearranges the navigation and eliminates unnecessary screen elements to make for an easier-to-use interface on a touchscreen device.
The site ties directly into Yokohama's data services for the recent data possible.
Larchgrove Marketing Group
Client: Oculus Design + Marketing
A single-page website can be more complicated 'under the hood' than it looks.
This website makes use of an advanced CSS framework for elegant type rendering, as well as tying into the Google font API to allow the use of non-standard fonts. Cross-browser CSS-handling issues made this a particularly good puzzle to solve.
The site also uses jQuery for a simple and elegant hover effect.
