Balloon Impressions

13 Sep 2009 . . . I thought I would let you know how things are going. The website is working great. Everyone loves the layout and ease of using it. Our sales have more than doubled from last year. Thanks again for a great website. —Charlie Mays
Many times when I start working on a project, I almost immediately envision how the layout should look. I generally go with that gut feeling when presenting mockups to a client, and I’m always pleased when the client chooses the layout I like best.

When Charlie Mays approached me about designing a website for his hot air balloon company, I immediately saw the site floating in an endless sea of sky blue among soft white clouds.

There wasn’t anything like it online for other hot air balloons companies . . . I know, I checked . . . and I was delighted to present the idea to Charlie, hoping he would approve, which he did.

The custom title/banner I created for Balloon Impressions is one of my favorites. That’s my client’s balloon, Miss Niagara, landing on the left. The soft, voluminous clouds have infinite depth and evoke a sense of peaceful calm, mirroring the feelings one has while floating in a balloon.

In addition to the title/banner, the footer and many of the graphics were created especially for the site. A booking calendar was also custom designed to meet the client’s specific needs. The calendar is easy to use—dates that are open for flights are clearly visible. Click on an open date, and a drop-down form appears. It’s linked to PayPal, so customers can book online and pay securely without any issues.

At the same time, the website is exciting, informative, and colorful . . . all-American red-white-and-blue . . . and chock-full of all the design elements my client needs to successfully run his business online.

DigiCollage

My client, a photographer, wanted a simple, basic, 4-page website where he could sell digital collages . . . and he wanted the website to be bright, commercial, and visually stimulating.

My first thought was yellow-and-orange. Partnered with gray, blues, and an olive-green for contrast, the color scheme works.

Navigation, appearing at the top and side, is clear and easy to follow. 1-2-3 . . . customers are where they want to be, and those who want their photos made into a digital collage can upload their own photos easily and pay for the order using a handy order form linked to PayPal.

DigiCollage is a sweet solution that meets my client’s needs perfectly.

The Integrated Self

07 July 2008 . . . You have exceeded all of my expectations with your design and speed! It has been great working with you, and I am so grateful for all the work you put into making my site so wonderful! —Jill Foster
The Integrated Self was specifically designed to promote my client’s services and provide online registration for her programs.

Jill Foster offers workshops and coaching to inspire women to realize their inherent power and transform their lives into something spectacular.

Because Jill’s target audience is women, I designed the website to have a soft, feminine look . . . easy to do with a pale lavender lace background for the pages and shades of lavender and pink with powder-blue accents for the color scheme.

Navigation, appearing in the left sidebar on all pages, is clear and has dynamic rollover effects for added flair. Other special features include a flash banner, custom slideshow, and a deluxe registration form that allows people to sign up for one or all four of Jill’s programs while automatically totaling the amount for PayPal.

It is sometimes necessary to admit defeat, cut your losses, and start over.

My attempts to correct the issues with this website and finish it forced inspired me to lose the flash and change the site’s layout and look.

The section for premade layouts was expanded to make way for the new designs that are now available for purchase and immediate download. Simple links to PayPal work nicely.
