ElectroGuy Website

Electroguy Website
Just completed another o2ecs web project for the ElectroGuy which launched today. The ElectroGuy is a technology specialist who provides the installation and service for many different technologies such as security, computers, internet, satellites and electronics.
The site was designed in Photoshop then sliced up and programmed with some XHTML 1.0 strict compliant code. The main idea behind the side is to show the audience that the ElectroGuy services all sorts of clients from the city to the country and everyone in between.
To get this point across we literally created a landscape graphic of the big city (in this case Toronto) morphing into the countryside. A silhouette of a satellite dish pointing to the company logo was added to give the eye a more interesting course to follow.
And speaking of the company logo it wouldn’t be much of a Digital Deceptions creation if I didn’t add a little animation to really give it a personality. When you mouse over the ElectroGuy logo it electrifies and right below that I have placed a wind turbine which produces electricity (are you getting the theme here?) giving the landscape graphic that element of the third dimension.
All in all this project isn’t the most complex I’ve worked on but just like the ElectroGuy I to work with clients of many different sizes and I’m able to provide them with solutions to their problems no matter how large or small they are.

Comma Recruitment Website

Comma Recruitment Website
Comma is in the Recruitment business which is an industry that I never really knew anything about. Upon meeting with the client a few times and doing some research myself I quickly found out that it is very competitive and each company can cater to many different fields and professions.
With this in mind the website was created in a way that it could easily grow with Comma into any direction that they want to take their business to.
The site was build using PHP and some of the highlights include a logo rollover and Toronto city skyline animation as well as a secure email system allowing candidates to attach their resumes right from the site.

Dimensions Home & Renovations Website
You know you have been around for a little while when you start getting repeat business. In Early 2005 I created Dimensions Home & Renovations first website and they came back in 2008 to update their look and add a few other new elements to the site.
Since they are in the Home building business I thought a wood texture was the way to go which they really liked the idea of. We stayed away from Flash and animations to get a better ranking in search engines so the website was constructed using PHP.
One of the big highlights of the site is the Virtual Tour, we used QuickTime Virtual Reality (OTVR) and they turned out beautifully. Another media element on the site is their TV commercial.
Once again the client was really happy with the project and I look forward to working for them many times again in the future.

Pumpkin Patch Play Centre Website

Pumpkin Patch Play Centre Website
When possible I like to go onsite not only to meet a client face to face but to also see where they do business and how I can incorporate what I see around them into their web design. Every now and then you get lucky and get to go places that aren’t just office rooms and cubicles and Pumpkin Patch Play Centre nothing like that.
Once again I was very fortunate to work with someone who believed in me and let me put a lot of creativity into the project. The website has gotten a lot of attention because of how unique it looks and how easily childlike it is to use.
From the start it was going to be quite interactive so flash was chosen has the medium, it has an XML image gallery and a neat little chalkboard navigation system as well as a few other little hidden animations.
Website is now offline but you can still visit it here.
CFACS Website

Commercial Finance Auditing & Consulting Services, Inc. Website
Commercial Finance Auditing & Consulting Services, Inc. (CFACS) is a perfect example of how diverse my clientele can be.
First off they are an American business where I usually do work for Canadian companies; they wanted a very clean and corporate almost minimal look which is usually the opposite of what I strive for.
It was very difficult not to throw some bells and whistles into this project but it was against the client’s wishes and I’m always up for a challenge. Sometimes you have to come out of my comfort zone every so often; I think it makes you a better designer by using skills you otherwise my not normally use.
