I did the original site for Lemon Grass Thai Restaurant in 2004. Now I have brought it up to date a little bit, modernizing the visual design as well as updating and making the code more efficient and search engine friendly.
The new look for Lemon Grass is much more modern with some spectacular photos from Thailand. We kept the design simple and clean and simplified the code as well. The site now runs on pure CSS, which makes updating a breeze.

We have completed an entire new design and code re-write of the Cambridge Partners, Inc. website.
We separated out the individual communities into their own domains, creating new, unified design for each, and updating some of the logos.
A large part of this project includes re-writing the site in PHP, cleaning up and optimizing the code, doing base SEO and adding functionality to the website.

Web Design The design for this blog is a freely available WordPress theme. I just thought it was so damn cool!
Of course, I had to modify the banner images to be more personal to me. I replaced the iPhone (no matter how cool it is, I don’t own one) with my LG Rumor. I added in a photo from a recent trip to the place where I grew up, the Yukon. I also just had to add in my ticket to the last NIN concert, considering they are my favorite band ever, and hold the distinction of being the best concert experience of my life. One of my sketches…and of course, a Toonie! The pen? Dunno, pretty cool looking pen though.

Web Design Why is it so difficult to work on one’s own site?
Seriously, I rarely have problems with coming up with ideas, themes and designs for clients, but when it comes to working on my own site, it is a nightmare.
Perhaps, it is because there is really no set theme to go by. And, also, because it is something I am just too close to. Either way, it has been this way for years.
I have just completed another redesign, and hope that it is enjoyed! I like this one, but finding something that is appealing across the board, to everyone who is in my target market, is difficult to say the least.
