Southwest Iowa Families Redesign

Southwest Iowa Families Screenshot
I recently finished redesigning the Southwest Iowa Families website. The design that I created in the Fall of 2006 was getting dated and was due to be refreshed. I kept some of the elements of the old site like the logo and some of the content while adding some new elements to make it more interactive. I used WordPress as the backend CMS as that will help make the transition to the new design as smooth as possible. I considered a move to Drupal, but changed my mind as I am more familiar with WordPress and thought it would be easier to teach myself more about Drupal by starting from scratch with a new site. The new things that are in the works for this site are a new Facebook presence, Office 365 integration so that they can have secure email, and fresher content in a new area where they intend to start writing periodic news articles.

Welcome to my Portfolio!

In this section of my site you will find the projects that I have been creating since 2000. Technology has changed since then so when you view my older projects please keep that in mind. The reason that I have decided to include my older projects is so that you can see the growth in my technical skills. I have three ways of categorizing my projects. All of them are in the Portfolio category so that you can view them separately from other posts. They are further divided into the type of project, the employer that I created them for, and the program(s) that I used to create them. Not all projects were created while I was working. You will find that some were freelance projects or were created as course projects for school. You will find that there are over 40 projects displayed here. Please take advantage of the fact that I have broken them down so that you can view the ones that you would most like to see.
