Web design

I estimate that I have played a part in creating over 200 websites in the last 14 years. These are case studies of many of them, which I've grouped for ease of reference.

I worked on some of these sites as an employee of Shift, Base Two or Origin Design. Others were created when I was a contractor with Badger Communications, Base Two, Chrometoaster, Communication Arts, CWA New Media, Datacraft, Designworks, DNA, Mission Hall, Optimation, Origin Design, Oryx Technologies, Plan A, and Shift. There are also a number of websites I worked on as an independent website designer and developer under the name of WebWeaver Productions. Full details can be found within each case study.

I have indicated my professional status for each site at the time of its creation.

I have played a number of roles within the teams that produced these websites, including project manager, information architect, designer, HTML/CSS developer, site updater, and content creator (writer).
