Website
So I was finally able to redo the RIPSHEARS website. This was one of my first sites and I've learned a lot since building it, particularly with how to design a site that is more easily maintained by the owner.
Still built on Squarespace (but with a new template) and includes all new photos of the product line. Check it out!
The all new Sumospeed.com site is now live! This was a fun project for a great client whom I've worked with a great deal the past few months providing photo coverage of their various car meets. As usual, Squarespace was the ideal platform for their simple needs, but with a slight twist as we used Ticketbud embedded with a widget so visitors can purchase tickets for next year's Springfest event. This is a cleaner approach than what they used last year, which forced visitors to navigate away from their homepage.
Priscilla Lynch is now live! This one was a long time in the making, which may not be clear upon initial viewing. I built it on Squarespace with a layered design, lots of imagery, parallax scrolling, the whole nine yards. And over the course of a few weeks the client slowly stripped away all that fluff through routine design reviews - she had a vision and ultimately we got there with something very minimal, embracing white space, and drawing attention to the beautiful swimwear she designs.
Just launched a new site for Tacticool Firearms, a local gun shop in Newport News. Originally hosted on Volusion, they reached out to me wanting something more modern looking with a responsive design and an easier user interface. I set them up with Shopify and after giving them a brief tutorial session, they were off and running with it!
I've just launched another personal project - Cars & Coffee Virginia Beach. For those that don't know, Cars & Coffee are meets that occur around the country, typically a Saturday or Sunday morning where auto enthusiasts gather to talk cars and drink some coffee. The original Cars & Coffee Virginia Beach domain expired and is now used to sell oolong tea, so I've built a new one. Take a look!
Sweet Treats is a Charlotte, NC based vending services company. They offer candy vending machines for use in fundraising and businesses. They needed a simple home on the internet and that's what they got - short and sweet!
Williamsburg, VA custom leather worker Artie Shell asked that I give him some help with his Wordpress site. We decided to move it to Squarespace as this was an easier platform and was plenty powerful for his needs. Includes an Etsy Mini storefront and lots of images of beautiful leather work!
Bare Knuckle Defense is a new Virginia Beach based firearms store and training company serving Hampton Roads. They built their own site on WordPress but had some issues with the payment system. They also needed post-processing work done on a few photos and their logo.
I've finished work on the Breastfeeding Blues & Bliss website. This simple site serves as the online home to a new private lactation consultant in the Charlottesville, Virginia area. It lists services offered, has downloadable forms, and is, like all the sites I build, easy for the owner to maintain in the future.
I've launched a new home-grown project, HR Shooter. This is a home-built project to create a directory of local firearms-related businesses in Hampton Roads including stores, manufacturers, clubs, ranges, and trainers. This is, and likely always will be, a work in progress.
The site is built on WordPress leveraging a customized third party theme.
