Web Design
Generic is not an option.
The key to a good website design is not about how flashy you can make it; its about readability and content. To that end, I've worked hard in the years to make sure that has always been the case. While trends come-and-go, I've dedicated myself to using web usability standards in all my work. Options such as the latest jQuery trick or CSS3 gradient always comes after making sure everything looks great! Over the last 10 years my main goals have always been exploring new territory in web design, tryout new ideas and concepts, and present the best possible website in every situation! My skill set includes HTML5 and CSS, as well an basic understanding of PHP and jquery.

Mark Skull Pirate Radio
Designed and coded what would become my first one-page website for my online radio station, Mark Skull Pirate Radio. It uses a mixture of HTML5 and Jquery to create awesome effects, a sideshow, and a look and feel that that makes you feel like you're part of a concert while listening to your favorite music!

Blow the Scene.com
I designed and coded a site that was based in Wordpress. I used PHP to create a section on the front page that had featured content, sections in the sidebar that would pull specific content from different categories. Possibly my favorite blog design of all time.

Spank Vote
I illustrated, animated, and designed all the caricatures seen on the site. I was also the designer and key coder of the page, and implemented a function that allowed the site to register how many people used the Spank Vote App to spank a particular person. In turn, each spank would count as a "vote" and allow the app developer to decide which ones people enjoyed spanking the most.

The site features HTML5 coding to help with SEO, as well as font embedding and a minimalist design to help people focus on the large amount of content of the site as well as the message of the movement.

Caustic Casanova
Rising stars of the indie rock and alt-rock scenes in Washington D.C., Caustic Casanova, approached me with their problem; They needed a new website that was better than their last one and allowed for them to update it easily as well as feature their merch and new albums. The result was a Wordpress-based site that used various plugins to allow for everything they wanted. The design was made to be as impactful as possible with a focus on being easy for a fan to use and learn more about these awesome rockers!

Tag-This - Philly Street Art
The best Philadelphia Street-Art blog, Tag-This, came to me and asked me to help create the best blog design possible to help them display their street art photos. I created a Wordpress theme that was minamlistic on a whole but not only allowed users to focus on the photos, but also complimented the content as well. Along with my SEO skills, the site has gone on to become one of the highest-ranked street art blogs for Philadelphia.

Larry West Productions MySpace Page
At the height of MySpace, I decided to take a wrecking ball to the way information was displayed on the site. To that end, I created a new and interesting layout on the site that highlighted my portfolio first in a fun and interesting way. The result? Offers came in to design and code various other MySpace pages.
