DESIGN CONCEPT:

The PeachBand.com website is currently under development. I've been so excited about it that I decided to show a sneak peak of the design concept and prototype. Please note: some pages are blank for now, but everything is planned to be complete within the coming weeks.

TECHNOLOGIES USED:

Flash/Actionscript, HTML, CSS, XML, PHP, MySQL Database, and PayPal integration for visitor purchases.

INTERACTIVE FEATURES:

From the moment you arrive at PeachBand.com, animations abound. Watch as the curtains open to reveal the site's content, and run your mouse over the navigation tickets to watch them sway! Interactive features included in the design and programming of the website are custom audio players, picture slide-shows, a video playback stage, and more.

CLIENT GOALS:

The goals for the Visutel-Inc.com website were to build a very simple, yet informative, online presence with just a few days notice. Included in this build is a video player to demonstrate Visutel's capabilities, and a private-access area for potential investors to log-in and view documents.

TECHNOLOGIES USED:

HTML, CSS, password protection, Flash Video Player.

TECHNOLOGIES USED:

Wordpress (CMS) custom installation, HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, and MySQL Database.

THE WORDPRESS SOLUTION:

This is my own personal website, built using the Wordpress (Content Management System) custom installation, and tailored to my liking. Notice that it doesn't contain the typical dates/comments/etc. that a "blog", by definition, should have.

Instead, I used this opportunity to show that a Wordpress blog can be completely customized and taken out of the "blog" context.

THE WORDPRESS BONUS:

The best feature included in Wordpress websites is a nifty administration interface that allows you (whether you're technical or not) to make updates to your pages quickly and easily, whenever you want to.

LOGO DESIGN GOALS:

The Smilee Virus Band needed a new logo that was custom, printer-friendly, and gave a graphical indication that they are a musical group.

in a new window for quality comparison

THE NEW LOGO:

• Custom designed, no imitation
• Clean lines, clear color
• High resolution & quality
• Indication of music

The Result: an image that is completely custom, and made for printability! T-shirts & Flyers... here we come!

The NEW Logo

THE OLD LOGO:

• Publicly used image
• Very poor quality
• Poor use of color
• Very low resolution
• Missing Fonts
• Non-custom
• No indication of music

The Problem: uses a public-domain image that is NOT printer-friendly and NOT custom!

The OLD Logo

DESIGN CONCEPT:

This is a recent design concept that I've proposed to the members of the Smilee Virus band. I've put up a small teaser to demonstrate some animation that will be on the main page of their website.

GOALS:

TheMusicGroove.com needed a simple, colorful website with just a couple days notice. Our plans to add Flash/Actionscript interactivity for animation and online audio/video lessons are in the works!

THE QUICK WEBSITE: (v1.0)

• Designed & Built in under 2 days
• Colorful, Simple and Informative
• Utilizes clean HTML and CSS code

• Search-engine friendly

IN THE WORKS: (v2.0)

(v2.0 coming soon!)

ORGANIZATIONAL IMPORTANCE:

The main purpose of HolisticEquine.com is to bring information to those seeking it. We wanted this information to be easy to find, and this site is organized by main categories which branch off with sub-categories so visitors can find exactly what they're looking for.

DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT:

CNM Interactive built HolisticEquine.com from the initial stages of concept & design, through full implementation of databases, administration panels, and coding the templated PHP & Perl SSI pages that allow for updates to be made quickly and easily.

Every element on the HolisticEquine.com website exists only ONCE in code. What does this mean? It means we were thrilled to say bubye to duplication & time-consuming layout changes!

INTERACTIVE FEATURES:

• Visitor-Submitted Resources: From hoofcare providers to natural boarding facilities for horses, visitors can add people & places to be listed in the directories, with the ability to search through this data to find people or places near their area.
• Quizzes & Article Sending: Some additional interactive features included hoofcare quizzes and the ability to share articles with your friends easily.

TECHNOLOGIES USED:

HTML, Perl, PHP, SSI, CSS, and MySQL Databases.

VISITOR ATTRACTION:

What do horse-people love to do?

Show off their horses!

The smartest brainstorm and development completed on the Equusite project was giving horse-people a way to show off their horses through picture contests. Visitors to the site can submit pictures of their horses, and each day these new pictures are displayed on site. Pictures can be voted based on photography as well as the subject of the photo, and awards are given monthly and annually to the winners.

The Result?

An increase from 300 to 1,500 daily visitors!

CUSTOM SCRIPTING & PROGRAMMING:

Although the visual design & layout on this website is managed by the Equusite.com crew, ALL of the front-end and back-end scripting / programming was completed by CNM Interactive, including:

• Picture Contests: Database design & implementation, Perl scripting for visitor photo submissions, voting capabilities, photo searching, archives and more. An easy-use administration panel was built to give the Equusite.com crew the ability to approve/deny photo submissions, moderate activity, and more.
• Interactive Stories: Another fun feature built into Equusite.com... interactive stories which allow each visitor to contribute a paragraph to a small visitor-written novel.
• Fun Games: Several games were designed for this website as well, including Crossword Puzzles, Concentration/Memory, Word-Find Puzzles, and Block Puzzles.
