Ridgewater Investments

Logo designed for a new company specializing in land and property investment management. The design needed to portray wisdom and integrity as well as trustworthiness. Although this was a new company I needed to provide the client with a design that gave them an established look.

After completion of the logo, I began the design of the letterhead and business cards, and then the company website.

Caring Grandparents

caringgrandparents.com is a custom wordpress driven site designed to promote grandparents rights. The logo needed to be simple and established. The loop on the letter G ties grand & parents together and I like the idea that caring is what makes grandparents grand!

The website utilizes wordpress as CMS to take full advantage of the SEO benefits as well as putting content control in the clients hands. Other technologies used in the function of caringgrandparents.com are PHP, MySQL, CSS, & HTML. Custom features to the site include ad space, name capture, as well as a custom design.

The greatest benefit that I see to a design like this is the capacity to organize a large amount of content – There are several months of published articles and resources on the site. The grid and structure of the design along with the stability of wordpress to manage the backend of the site is a perfect pairing or form and function.

Stuck Clutch Amps

This rocks! I was hired to develop the logo and website for the Stuck Clutch Amps Collection. Fender made a series of amplifiers in 1968 with some newly designed features and a local collector has every one of them.

I was hired to first photograph the collection, design a logo to represent the group as a whole, and design a web site that showcases each of the amplifiers.

This was such a fun project for me to work on because of my love for music and instruments – especially Fender Amps ( I own a vintage replica amp myself )

The site uses wordpress as the content management system and the design and photography is all my original work. Go check out the website at stuckclutchamps.com – did you notice the knobs are tuned to 1968?

Jam In The Park

Jam in the Park is a series of concerts organized by a group of music lovers in Spartanburg. I was hired to design a website and logo that would give them an attractive way to display and organize event information, photo galleries, sponsors, and schedules.

The icing on the cake? Well, all the concerts happen in my own neighborhood here in Duncan Park!

Check out the features like WordPress, SEO, PHP, CSS, Social Network integration, and in case you don’t care about the features – check out the schedule and come to one of the concerts!

Shane Pruitt Band

This was another really fun project for me to work on. Shane has been a friend of mine for a long time and I’ve been a fan of his for just as long. I designed the logo and website with a longer range goal of implementing these elements into album art, and promotional materials.

One of the challenges to keeping up-to-date with a band is keeping your content consistent across your social media sites as well as your official page. I provided the SPB management with a solution that seems to be working out well for them. Using wordpress as CMS, I have incorporated reverbnation widgets into the site and social media sites (Facebook & Myspace) so that they only have one calender and media player to update and the changes are automatically loaded to each site. Next time Shane’s band is playing near you, you ought to go out and watch them.

David L. Steven Property Mgmt.

This project incorporates logo and web design. The logo is new original artwork and the redesigned website gives users a feature rich and user friendly experience.

Custom forms for tenants as well as property owners were created and implemented into the design. The client has greatly enjoyed the increase in traffic and business as a result of the new web presence.

Since launching the new site I have seen an average of 10 organic leads per week inquiring about properties directly through the site’s contact form.  I believe this is a great example of how using wordpress to manage content and incorporating the right meta data into a well designed site results in increased business to the client.

Crunchy Promotions

The owners of the Duncan Estate were so pleased with their venue site that they asked me to redesign the company website along with a new logo.

Crunchy Promotions is an event marketing company and they needed a website to showcase in a visual manner, how they can promote a product or brand.

I am going to be adding some new features to the site which will give the client some added functionality on top of just web presence.

Stephotos.net

Here is a newer site I have been working on. This is my wife’s photo site. We shoot a lot together and needed a nice place to show off the pics. I am still tweaking the design though.
