dLife.com
is your source for information and inspiration for living with diabetes.
The main focus of this version was to widen the site for 1024 by 768 screen resolutions and in turn allow more space for ads/content. I used Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator to create 16 comps, which were narrowed down to 4 comps, then the final version was chosen. I converted the old table-based design to a standards-based CSS design that promotes usability and SEO. I also used Flash to create a home page feature that promotes photos/information that we want to feature each week. The dLife.com website is managed using OpenCMS.
In 2007, dLife.com was awarded the Best Health Website 2007 by WebAward.

ElizabethJacobSpa.com redesign
The old Elizabeth Jacob Spa site wasnt making full use of the screen and had a lot of empty/awkward spacing issues.
To clean the site up, I used a tab based navigation to give the site a cleaner look. I also implement a newsletter sign-up and management system, flash based virtual tour, and I increased the search engine visibility of the website by adding more descriptive title tags on every page. The client was very happy with the end result. I used Adobe Photoshop to create comps and hand coded the pages using html and css.
