Unique Auto Tinting Website
Unique Auto Tinting is the first website I have done in the automotive industry and I have actually been dying to go into that direction ever since first playing Grand Theft Auto III…lol. So the idea behind this one was simple, “what if a tinting shop in GTA had a website?”
The client showed me a couple of websites from his local competitors and we took a look at what they did right and where they went wrong, what the client was really looking to do was make his competition’s websites look dated and leave them in the dust.
The website is Flash based due to some decent sized animations; some highlights of the site include an XML image gallery, custom map and Tint Simulator. Unlike the client’s competition he was very pleased with the gritty and aggressive look and feel of his new site.

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.

Dubé Hair Website
The Dubé Hair project was another one of those awesome jobs, the owner Donn Dubé put a lot of trust in me and gave me much more creative control than what I am use to so I ran with it.
His shop has a really friendly laid back atmosphere to it and I thought we really needed to get that across on his website. You could easily see the staff enjoyed each other’s company because they were always having fun and joking around so I think that had to show in the site as well.
Donn’s only requirements were that he wanted random styling tips to load on each page, a music player and I had to incorporate a certain time piece into the design, he is a obsessed with watches…lol.
I managed to include all his wishes into the design and was even able to program the watch to work and display the actual time on the users screen. He was really happy with the final product and I enjoyed working with him and his staff at Dubé Hair.
