Built with DHTML, Flash, and PHP, the site features an online portfolio, an interactive timeline, and a repository for news and events.
The site received a Standard of Excellence WebAward from the Web Marketing Association and was a Finalist for Best Technology Services Web Site from the Massachusetts Interactive Media Council.
]]>To provide access to users lacking the Flash plug-in, the site is duplicated in HTML, which made site maintenance kind of a pain. Now that Flash has better XML support, I’d probably rebuild the site to eliminate as much of the redundant data as possible.
Improvements in usability and accessibility could be made. I’m not a big fan of JavaScript pop-up windows, which are copiously used in this design.
]]>They asked Red98 to develop, for their annual roadshow in the midwest, a prototype of a web-based tool to provide funeral directors with a user-friendly way to guide friends and family of the deceased through the funeral arrangement process and ultimately to help them to choose a casket and funeral service that would best represent that person and how they lived.
The demo was a great success and generated tremendous interest at the show.
]]>Users without Internet Explorer 4 or later won’t see much interactivity because of the use of Internet Explorer-specific DHTML.
As a result of this project, I was surprised at a recent funeral service, when I recognized the casket model.
]]>I programmed the site in DHTML with PHP and MySQL as a backend for the areas containing dynamic content. I also set up their online store using the Miva Merchant e-commerce engine.
BoeriUSA.com received an Outstanding Web Site WebAward from the Web Marketing Association and was a Finalist for Best Apparel Web Site from the Massachusetts Interactive Media Council.
]]>Red98 partnered with Cafco to create the company’s first online presence at CafcoInfo.com.
The site features a user interface programmed in Flash and mirrored in HTML.
]]>We were asked to come up with an original music loop for the introductory page. The version the client chose can be heard on the site, but I prefer this version: Cafco Music Loop.
]]>I developed the site in HTML with some DHTML and PHP sprinkled in here and there for good measure.
]]>These solutions enable Human Resources departments to provide a more efficient, effective way to manage benefit plans within their company, and empower employees to find information and support in a fast and relevant way.
For FIRSCo’s annual Client Conference, Red98 created Netropolis, which integrated a collection of interactive product demos Red98 had developed with Fidelity in a kiosk-based Web site designed around the theme of a futuristic urban landscape.
I was responsible for building the Web site for the conference and integrating the diverse content for a seamless user-experience.
]]>Red98 partnered with Microsoft to develop the user interface for FM Global’s intranet portal and its suite of customer relationship management tools dubbed the “Client Servicing System.” The portal was built on Plumtree’s Portal Platform and the Client Servicing System applications were built by Microsoft developers using ASP.NET.
My responsibilities on the project included:
developing the CSS styles, based upon our designer’s graphic layouts, for the developers to use in programming the portal and the Client Servicing System
programming code-snippets used in demonstrating proof-of-concept and for user-testing of the interfaces
writing the user-interface style guide for the Client Servicing System, documenting all aspects of the interface design and interaction for the developers.
I also coded the Canadian French translation of FM Global subsidiary Affiliated FM’s Web site and wrote the corresponding user-interface style guide.
]]>I was responsible for coding template pages in HTML which were delivered to the client to be integrated into their backend system.
]]>Unfortunately, HomeRuns is no more. The people I know who used the service loved it.
]]>I animated and programmed this Flash movie to display at InnoCentive’s booth at a recent ACS National Meeting, presenting attendees with some of the R&D challenges on InnoCentive.com and encouraging them to register as “Solvers.”
]]>I programmed Red98’s submission to the agency review in DHTML.
]]>The site was coded in DHTML using PHP and a MySQL database for storing and retrieving dynamic content. I also developed five content management tools with which the restaurant’s office manager could update menus, events, reviews and press, and an “Ask the Chef” feature without having to know a lick of code.
The site received a Standard of Excellence WebAward from the Web Marketing Association.
]]>While at Red98, I was part of a team that developed an interactive site to promote the sweepstakes, including a multiple-choice quiz, presented in Flash and updated daily from a database of more than 200 questions. Registered users received one sweepstakes entry for each correct answer, with a maximum of five entries per day.
My task was to program the animated Flash interface to connect with a backend system powered by PHP and MySQL to register and remember users, get daily quiz questions, and record user entries in the sweepstakes.
]]>I animated and programmed the Flash introduction to the contest entry site.
]]>This contest had seven total entries, and three music teachers nominated by entrants received new cars!
