Project Focus
[+] EXPAND ALL
[-] COLLAPSE ALL
The primary focus of each website or multimedia project – who or what each project was for or about.
Corporate
The project provides tools or information for or about a for-profit company, organization, institution, individual, or entity. This includes websites and multimedia for the public about this entity, online tools for enrollments and purchases, and secure back office websites or SaaS applications for handling this entity's business and private information.
Associate
The project provides tools or information for or about an associate or representative of a multi-level marketing (mlm) company. This includes the associate's replicated website, online enrollment forms for associates to join the mlm, the back office website the associates use to handle their mlm business, and multimedia materials for the associates' use.
Corporate and Associate
The project provides tools or information for or about an associate or representative of a multi-level marketing (mlm) company, and about the company itself. This includes websites pairs that have one version for the corporate site and another for the associate's replicated site. The two share the same basic design, but differ somewhat in the content shown. The corporate website typically has a url beginning with "www.companyname", while the replicated website's url usually starts with that associate's name, such as "bob.companyname".
Non-Profit
The project provides tools or information for or about a non-profit company, organization, institution, or entity. This includes websites and multimedia for the public about this entity, online tools for enrollment, purchases, and donations, and secure back office websites for handling this entity's business and private information.
Customer
The project provides tools or information for customers of products or services. This includes websites for purchasing or renewing products or services, or in registering for travel or lodgings, and SaaS applications or back office websites with the tools and information a customer needs regarding the products they've purchased or services they've enrolled in.
Event
The project provides tools or information for or about an event. These will typically begin as a marketing and enrollment platform for the event, and then after the event has ended the site is either discontinued, rolls into marketing the next event, or hosts follow-up information about the event like photos, videos, and conference materials. This includes websites and multimedia for the public about this event, online tools for event registration, and secure back office websites for handling this event's business and private information.
Music Group
The project provides tools, products, or information for or about a music group. This includes a band's website or social media site, and multimedia promotional and sales materials.

Project Media Types
[+] EXPAND ALL
[-] COLLAPSE ALL
The type of media each project falls into – what the end product was.
Websites & Applications
Website or Social Media Site
A public website or a profile on a social media website. These include sites for individuals, corporations, events, non-profit organizations, and even for rock bands.
Replicated Website
A replicated website (repsite) for a multi-level marketing (mlm) company. Each associate or representative of the mlm gets their own personalized website and url. These sites are used to present the company's opportunity and their offerings (products or services – or occasionally both). Sometimes the company has separate replicated sites for the two forks of the business, one for the opportunity and one for the offerings. When a new associate or a new customer goes through one of these replicated sites to enroll or purchase, it gets credited to the associate who owns that site. Some replicated sites are listed as "basic", which is a site that the associate gets for free, that has less features than the full, paid-for replicated site. In the case of websites for multi-level marketing companies, the corporate website is usually paired with a replicated website, where the sites share the same design and much of the content.
SaaS Application or Back Office Website
A secure website, SaaS application, or wiki with software, tools, and/or information for handling the company's business. These sites have restricted access, requiring a login. In the case of Software as a Service (SaaS) Applications, this secure website provides business tools to paid subscribers. In the case of multi-level marketing (mlm) companies, the company will have a separate corporate level back office site to handle the mlm aspect of the business, while the associates have their own back office site to handle their individual businesses. An associate back office site allows the associate to see and handle their downline – the associates who have enrolled in the business through them or through their associates, down the line – and their customers who have enrolled in the company's services or purchased the company's products through them. These associate back office sites provide reports, dashboards, analytics, tools, training, marketing materials, commissions handling, event information, communications, associate profiles and billing information, and everything the associate needs to handle their business online. Other types of companies have these corporate back office sites also, as a secure repository for business tools, corporate information, training materials, analytics, employee resources, benefits information, and more. There are also customer back office sites, with the tools and information a customer needs regarding the products they've purchased or services they've enrolled in. This can include showing order history, tracking orders, setting up autoship, additional purchasing or enrollment, updating billing or profile information, issue reporting and resolution, finding product or service information, making donations, and more.
Transactional Website
A secure website or application used for purchasing products or services, making donations, enrolling or renewing membership in a multi-level marketing opportunity, or in registering for travel, lodgings, or an event. These sites do not require a login to access them, but do have security for handling the transfer of payments and personal information.
Mobile Website or Application
A mobile application or a website meant for viewing solely on a mobile device, such as a point-of-sale kiosk, a tablet, or a smart phone. For mobile applications, this includes applications for iOS and Android devices. For websites, this category does not include responsive websites that are designed to adjust to any type of device, whether mobile or desktop – only those sites specifically targeted to a mobile device.
Multimedia
Branding Materials
Logos and Style Guides created for the marketing and branding identity of a client. These could be used in multiple formats: for websites, printed materials, multimedia, or otherwise.
Print Materials
Marketing, promotional, or informational printed materials produced for or about company, group, organization, event, or individual. This includes printed materials, screenprinted materials, and materials distributed as pdfs.
Photo Editing & Compositing
The taking and/or editing of photographs. This includes taking photos or art directing photoshoots, editing and touching up photos, and compositing photos, graphics, and text from multiple sources into a completed work.
Emails
Marketing, promotional, or informational materials distributed as emails. This includes designing, coding, and sometimes writing content for emails that work seamlessly on any email provider.
Animation
Commercial-length animations for various products. This includes creating the audio and visual elements, content, and composition.
Responsive Media
Responsive Website
A responsive website adjusts its layout and functionality for optimal usability on any device, whether it's a desktop, tablet, phone, or other platform.
Scalable Vector
A scalable vector is a responsive file type used for images and animations. Unlike photos and other raster image types, a vector can scale up or down to any size without losing quality.
Offsite Links
[+] EXPAND ALL
[-] COLLAPSE ALL
Links are provided for most projects, although some are currently inaccessible and disabled. For multimedia projects a pdf is provided when available.
Public Website
An unsecured website, available to all.
Secure Public Website
A secure website that does not require a login to get access. This is typically a site with forms that handle secure information and/or payment processing.
Secure Internal Website
A secure website requiring the user to log in to get access. This is typically a back office site.
Mobile Application or Website
An application that must first be installed on a mobile device, or a website that has been specifically designed for access on a mobile device only (as opposed to responsive sites that conform to fit any screen – desktop or mobile). This also includes kiosk sites, meant for point-of-sale access.
Print Materials
PDF version of printed materials like brochures, banners, etc. Requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader plugin to view.
Flash Animation
A Flash animation. Requires the Adobe Flash Player plugin to view.
Not Currently Available
Items not currently available online are grayed out. This can include any of the types of links listed above. Some sites no longer exist. Some have changed names or urls, so the older version listed below is now invalid. Some are intranets not available outside a company's firewall. Some links are disabled because you cannot get to the page directly, but must follow a happy path to get there, like for many enrollment forms, so that the proper string of data gets sent to the site when you reach it. Some sites were only temporary, like a demo site or an event site. Even among the remaining active links below, some will only get you to a login page, where you won't be able to get further, and some will take you to a more recent version of the site – not the version I worked on. Nonetheless, the links are provided because some employers ask for that sort of thing, and it's kinda cool to be able to look at this and say, "Wow, that's a mighty long list!".
