    McGuigan Appraisal website design

    Nashville real estate appraisal with classic design and accessibility.

    What more could you ask for in a website?

    How about search optimization, content management, and Google Maps API integration.

    Custom Google Maps Integration

    As a service company, you need to be able to reach every potential customer.

    Let me design and build a custom Google Maps integration for you and keep your customers in the loop on your service area.

    web development, contact form

    When people want to reach out to you, make it easy for them.

    The days when email links were sufficient for letting people reach you are long over. Protect your email addresses from spam and give potential customers an easy way to reach you with a custom contact form.

    Okay, little to the left, smile. Perfect. Snap!

    Websites are often faceless, leaving you to rely on the presentation and content to provide the human element. Why risk it? Give your visitors a face to hang the information on.

    Genesco Corporation web design

    Start with a look, end with a content-rich website.

    I entered the project with a design already done. My task was to bring the design to life as a site with search engine optimization, content management, and ease of use for Genesco, a national corporation based in Nashville.

    It's the little things...

    Sure, you can have pictures running down a web page. But why not engage the user and increase the amount of attention the user pays to the content of your site? The Genesco corporate website features a photo slide show putting the visitor in control.

    clean web design layout

    Clean, simple, accessible.

    For the Genesco corporate site, the text information is important. For that reason, the design and website structure compliment each other. Page links share the interior page titles for a cohesive user experience and great search optimization.

  • Javanet CafĂ©

    Web site design for a small Nashville business

    Can I get a little more froth on that website?

    For small businesses in Nashville and elsewhere, websites are both a must and a big expense. Market your website well, sprinkle on a little SEO, and the expense will start to work itself out.

  • Brandon Rhyder Contest

    Music web design with a twist

    Cohesive look. Cool features.

    Based on the design of BrandonRhyder.com web site, this video contest site works with YouTube's embedded video capability along with user registration and website content management to manage all that rich-media goodness.

  • Surgical Care Affiliates

    Clean, corporate web design

    Is there a doctor in the house?

    A surgical group with a network of over 3,000 surgeons, SCA wanted clean lines and tight, even stitches.

  • Kanye West

    Kanye West Myspace Gadget

    So, you've got a new album you want everyone on the planet to know about?

    Take it to the place where everyone on the planet hangs out--Myspace. What can I say? Gadgets are hot.

    Gresham, Smith, and Partners Homepage Flash Web Design

    Take your tradition of integrity to the web.

    For a national architecture firm based in Nashville like Gresham, Smith, and Partners, a website is more than just a page of information. It's an extension of their reputation for design and integrity.

    Gresham, Smith, and Partners Homepage Flash Web Design

    Think forward, build for compatibility.

    Chip Jordan, the designer of this site, had the idea to support smaller resolution screens while making all the information available at once by simply, elegantly sliding the entire layout left or right within a window. Shown here is my implementation of that design.

  • Brother Rock

    Web site design for Brother Rock, a Nashville band

    Mediacentric. Interactive. Managed content.

    Busy band members don't have time to waste updating websites all day, so a content management system keeps the website updated easily. Throw in lots of media elements and a little email security, and you've got a site to write home about.

  • Dwonna Goldstone

    Web design for Dwona Goldstone, Clarksville, TN

    For the busy, on the go professor.

    To know Dr. Dwonna Goldstone is to either love or be overwhelmed by her (and sometimes both at once). For syllabi, book plugs, etc. this site was designed specifically to be better than every other professors'.

  • Tennessee Walking Horse Association

    Flash application designed for the Tennessee Walking Horse Assocation

    Mmmmm... Rich media.

    What do you get when you combine top quality voice over actors, a pamphlet of information with vintage photos, and an unhinged Flash developer? You get a streaming media story book with audio/text scroll synching. And where else but Nashville would you find all these elements together?

  • FlashCards

    Flash cards for educational use

    I can't remember, flip it...

    Finishing my formal education in and around Nashville as an education minor, I built a system support "decks" of Flash cards (XML files) to use as a study tool. Still have the source files if you need to get your study on.

  • Miss Mable's Village

    Miss Mable's Village

    Let them eat cake! (And drink tea!)

    Content management, e-commerce, and six sub-sites are all a part of Miss Mable's Village. A must-visit site for any discerning tea room goer--only an hour or so from Nashville.
