Design Gallery
The projects featured in this design gallery are primarily those which I take sole responsibility for. I am responsible for the entire design, coding, graphics development, and programming for these projects, unless noted otherwise. Not all projects will necessarily validate or feature all accessibility attributes I might prefer; the practicalities of web design sometimes preclude perfection.

Other Projects:
CerebralPalsy.org - this site is an information resource for parents of children with cerebral palsy, built on an extensively modified Wordpress installation. The design is a long story — it was originally designed by a different designer, but client requests gradually replaced the original design with one which was completely different. The current design is largely my own work, but I hesitate to really take credit for it — it's a design "based on" somebody else's work, so it's not precisely original work!
SuccessWorks - Heather Lloyd-Martin's search engine marketing business was using a collage of different programmers materials, with a nested-table design which ran around 12 layers deep. I went through the site with an eye to remove obsolete or duplicate files, streamline the navigation, and implement basically the same design as XHTML 1.0 Strict with CSS and to add accessibility features.
SiteLogic Marketing, founded by Matt Bailey - Redesign of site templates to use valid XHTML Strict, more effective use of CSS, and to implement accessibility features.
