Websites
The websites displayed here are both those that I have created for both clients and friends and still currently manage and those that I created a while ago and are no longer online.
Aptribute (Version 1)
This is the first layout for my website. It was intended to be very simple with mainly just a header.
Aptribute (Version 2)
The second version of this website was the start of a different approach with a new (and better, I might add) method. Instead of creating all the images for the layout individually then piecing them together, I first created a complete “print” of the site in Photoshop before dividing it into the separate images. This allowed me visualize it better as a whole. This is also when I began to incorporate my Twitter updates.
Valiturus Cross
Valiturus Cross used to be a gaming website that I ran and it consisted of a custom design and interface. It was my first website I created, and it went through many phases and makeovers. The screenshot captures its last layout before it closed, back when all the hype around gaming websites was gloss and gradients.
Philip Montalban, Inc.
With over twenty-five years of home improvement experience, Philip Montalban is a creative and skillful contractor who will tend to your bathroom, kitchen, remodeling and home addition needs. I wanted to create a design that was professional and clean to reflect Philip’s work. Features include a rotating splash page and an integrated Flash photo gallery.
B. Chue Consulting, P.S.
Ben Chue is an experienced oncologist, dedicating time and effort to his patients.
Jesus Disciple
A music artist website for Jesus Disciple, an emcee, producer and writer. His motto is “Re-establishing the sincerity of Jesus’ name through the discipleship of self and others.” This website runs on a Joomla content management system with a few customizations.
Christmas Card 2008
I just wanted to send a nice Christmas greeting to all my friends, and I thought, “What better way to combine my passion with this opportunity than to create a Christmas e-card?” So that is what I did. Just a Flash animation, some music, a snow script, and a quote-filled background.
The Wanderer
This is a website I created for a student film project my friends and I worked on. It consists of a fairly simple Flash interface which allowed me to become more familiar with the software. Feel free to watch the movie as well.
Valley Christian Robotics
Originally, the Technology and Robotics teacher at my former high school asked me to create a website for the school’s robotics teams that participated in FIRST leagues. However, it was later discovered that the requirements by the foundation was that the students must make their own website. Therefore, this website was never quite completed. Nevertheless, the basic structure is there, and it is basically just a simple, 2D layout featuring school colors.
Valley Christian High School Marching Band & Color Guard
I was quite the band geek in high school, and I actually still follow my former band quite closely. However, I did not like the current band website, so I decided to create my own. I was hoping for mine to become the official site, but issues arose which involved complications with the school’s web management. However, I still update my version diligently during the season. Features include content management through WordPress and custom themes for each band year which can be switched depending on visitor preference.
Forum Skins
Forum skins are templates that give forums their unique look, and they consist of mainly CSS. Please note that these skins do not include the raw PHP used to create the forum itself, so please only consider the design and visual elements as my work.
Royal Precinct
Curiously, I usually tend to lean towards blue layouts. However, this skin gave me a chance to utilize a refreshing red and gray color scheme. Inspired by another skin, I tried to keep this one simple and neat.
Aptitude
I actually created this skin to match my old gaming site, Valiturus Cross, back when I had both a main website and a forum. Although not my neatest skin, it has quite a crisp, sharp, “gloss-and-gradient” look that places it amongst my favorites. It’s also a lovely shade of slate-blue.
