This project involved designing and building a home page, three course landing pages, and a live Zoom classes registration page for a floral design school.  I also wrote custom code to call the Zoom API to automattically list the zoom class meetings on the class registration page as well as to automate the class followup process (using Zapier).

This project involved helping a small team finish and launch their Thinkific based online school. This included lots of small design changes to their website as well as customizing the site's underlying theme code. In addition, I created several custom page sections within the theme code and used them on various pages of their site. 

​

Besides design and development tasks, I also helped them with migrating their existing students into the Thinkific platform, transferred their domain name to the new site, and provided support for during their launch month.

I improved the layout of all pages on this site on mobile phones, and I increased the page load speeds.

This project involved designing and building the home page, four course landing pages, and one custom page. The custom page involved embedding HTML form code and submitting the results to the client's email marketing platform. As usual, I enhanced the page layouts and styling (and circumvented the limitations of the Thinkific site builder) by using custom HTML and Javascript coding techniques.

This project involved designing and building the home page and two course landing pages. As usual, I enhanced the page layouts and styling (and circumvented the limitations of the Thinkific site builder) by using custom HTML and Javascript coding techniques.

This website is my author landing page, which I built myself using Webflow. This project provided an excellent opportunity for me to learn Webflow and demonstrate both my Webflow skills and design skills. And I got a working author website out of it too!

This project involved helping them change the verbiage across their entire Thinkific website to be consistent with their brand and content types.  This required extensive customizations at the code level since very little of the terminology was configurable with the site setup tools. I also helped them to integrate their Thinkific site with their various business processes using Zapier automation.

The Cateye Cafe is a local breakfast and lunch eatery in my hometown that had a minimal and uninspiring website. I redesigned this restaurant's website and implemented it on the WIX platform both to learn WIX and to demonstrate my WIX proficiency and my design skills.
 
Besides creating a more engaging and stylish website, I also added a major new feature — online ordering — which allowed me to hone my proficiency with WIX's restaurant functionality.

This project is an excellent example of redesigning a rudimentary and outdated website, and I've described the process and rationale I used in a case study that you might find informative. 

This project involved customizing the checkout pages for Heather's fitness courses. This involved editing the theme code and applying my HTML, CSS, and Javascript skills. After the upgrade of the checkout pages, Heather reported an increase in sales conversions.

This website is my web design business website. I built it with WIX to learn and demonstrate WIX development skills. The site also shows off my web design skills and serves as a great example of a professional services website. 
​
In building this website, I used WIX's powerful database tools and data-binding features. Data-driven design allows web developers to create websites that are more easily maintainable by their owners and to deliver those websites more quickly (and hence less expensively).

This is the personal project that introduced me to the Thinkific platform and that has provided me with the experience that has prepared me to help others build their eLearning websites with this platform. The user interface of the site is complete but the course content is not hence I have not yet launched the school. Despite this, the project serves as a great example of my Thinkific design and development proficiency.

As easy as Thinkific is to use, I ran into its limitations and chose to dive in and learn how to customize the code underlying the theme I chose to use for my site.  In the process, I ended up creating several custom page elements (sections) and learned a lot that could help others build better Thinkific websites.

This website is my author blog, where I publish articles and promote my books. I built this website by hand, without the help of a website builder using my HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery coding skills. 

I cut my teeth on responsive web design on this project, ensuring that it looked and worked great on all devices and screens regardless of their size (think tablets and smart-phones).
