Welcome,

I'm Chris, a Detroit based Web Designer

Over the years I've worked as a webmaster, SEO strategist and all around digital marketing handyman. Lately I've been able to pursue what I love doing the most; making great websites! Lets Talk.

Jacks Wall Repair Service

Jask is a great guy with a great company. So, naturally he wanted a great site to match! Jack's current site was outdated and in need of a complete redesign. This project is still under construction and should be ready to go live in a few weeks.

Winebuys.com

Winebuys, an online wine retailer, was in need of a website redesign. The goal from the start was to introduce a new shopping style based on user testing that would enhance the buyer's experience. Winebuys' new site takes advantage of the many options one may choose while finding new and favorite wines by organizing categories into promotions and introducing a filtered navigation. Included in the new user interface was a customer admin area, which was equipped with many tools to encourage repeat buying like shopping points and the ability to build wine list. Additionally work focused on a new email layout design and a landing page for SEM.

Lakeshoreenergy.com

After the initial discovery phase it was clear that Lakeshore Energy didn't just need another brochure site, they need a more interactive, dynamic site able to accommodate their complex rate plans. What I presented them with was a grid based layout with a little flare while utilizing a "sales funnel" approach to drive users to a dynamic rates and services page.

Floormall.com

I’ve worn several different types of digital hats in my time; SEO analyst; SEM & PPC manager (Google Adwords etc..) and as it relates to this project eBay specialist. Because i’ve dealt with almost every and any aspect of eBay selling (product listing, photo taker and store & listing template designer) I was delighted when Floormall asked me to design & build them a new store & listing template. I was able to take everything I know about eBay’s user’s experience and apply it to this project. The end product compares greatly to Floormall’s corporate website but with the added web 2.0 look and feel. Work in progress
