Patriot Industries
Website for a company that makes custom holsters for handguns which comply with Oklahoma’s concealed-carry laws. This site includes an e-store where he can sell his holsters and other items online.

OK Bird Room
A small exotic bird breeder specializing in Lady Gouldian finches. The customer wanted a dark background for her website, and I incorporated the rich colors of the birds into the sidebars to give it richness and depth.

Africa We Care
A non-profit charitable organization in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I have maintained this site for about four years, and redesigned it a little over a year ago. It is a large site with approximately 70 pages and a complex structure. Particular attention was paid to the navigation, to avoid confusion when moving from one area to another within the site.

Barrick Properties Inc.
This is the umbrella website for a company with widely diversified holdings. The customer wanted a way to showcase the different companies Barrick owned, all in one location. Several of the entities are branches of the parent company, and they share the same “hat and dice” logo. The challenge here was to incorporate the distinctive logo into a pleasing page layout and use coordinating colors in the design.

Eudy & Lyons, LLC
A commercial real estate appraiser’s website. This is one of the earliest sites I created, and one of the few sites in which I used a pre-made template as a basis for the design. The site showcases previous assignments the firm has completed and introduces the partners involved in the business.

Ibex Grafex
An interim design and company name for OK Type that is no longer in use. The original name of my company was Precision Typesetting, but I am no longer operating under that name. So when I redesigned my website, I also changed the name to reflect my Oklahoma roots.

Precision Typesetting
The former name of my business. Precision Typesetting was established in 1988, and even though I’ve been working in the corporate world since 1992, I maintained a freelance desktop publishing business by that name until this year, when I changed the name to OK Type.

R-MAC Homes
As the website for a local homebuilder, this website was constructed to promote the sale of his homes. I designed a repeating background pattern for the navigation menu and a complimentary background for the header. The site contains a list of all his available floor plans, along with diagrams of each. This site has been subsequently turned over to the website owner for any future updates.

US Grant Class of 1969
Nostalgia is the theme for the US Grant Class of 1969 40th class reunion site. Yearbook photos are highlighted in the headers, and a funky typeface is used for the page titles and navigation menu. This site helped make the reunion a success by keeping classmates informed, and has now been repurposed to be a virtual meeting place to keep in touch going forward. A website for the class of 1968 is currently under construction.

US Grant Class of 1970
A 40th class reunion website for US Grant High School Class of 1970. This group liked the website for the Class of 1969 (above) and wanted something similar for their own reunion. The challenge here was to design in the same colors, for the same school, for the same type of event — while giving this site its own distinctive personality. The inclusion of diagonal lines in the design helped give the site movement and dimension, as did the drop shadow behind the title text.

US Grant Class of 1968
A third website for US Grant high school alumni! This time it was a special combination 60th birthday party/class reunion as the theme for the US Grant High School Class of 1968. This group had missed their 40th reunion a couple of years earlier, but were in the mood to party, so they chose to celebrate the “big” birthday of many of their classmates instead. It was a red and black color scheme once again, but this time I added some heat with a glowing birthday cake, a bit of bright yellow for the candles, and flames along the edge of the navigation menu, reminiscent of the street rods from “back in the day.”
