I love designing websites. Once I obtain my B.S. in Computer Science this December, I want to work in the field of web design and development, and I am currently seeking employment. If you would like me to design your homepage or commercial website, please send me an email.
 

My Websites:

These are websites I've done for not-for-profit organizations and friends. If you're going to visit these sites, please bookmark this page first as many don't contain a link back to this site.
 

Title:

Description:

Mathews Family History This website was created to share the history and genealogy of the Mathews family and includes "Diary of a Journey from Massachusetts to the Ohio Country 1798 by Dr. Increase Matthews with Matthews Family Record," which was originally published in 1932.
Hampton House This website was a total redesign done for the Butler University students who live in the Hampton House on Butler's campus. The original website was done in frames and was best viewed at 1024 x 768. None of their image files had been resized or compressed for use on the web. I created a liquid design using tables, and resized and compressed their images for quick loading. I recently added a slide show to the current events page.
Donald E. Gavit Middle/High School I volunteered to help design this site and spent many hours on this website. However, due to an administrative glitch, this website never made it to the Internet. Therefore, the content on this website was never approved by the School City of Hammond. This site is shown only to demonstrate my skills using Macromedia Dreamweaver 4.0 and Fireworks 4.0.


Websites Done as Coursework:

These are websites I've created as course projects. If you're going to visit these sites, please bookmark this page first as as many don't have a link back to this site.
 

Title:

Description:

Digital Donut This site is "under construction" as a class project for my "Programming for the Web" course. The company is fictitious. Be sure to check back often as the site will be growing and changing over the next few weeks.

Project 1:  Simple design to demonstrate to owners initial possibilities.

Project 2A: Change to apply an external cascading style sheet for all formatting. Project 2B: Change design by making changes only to the external style sheet.

Note: The Perl scripts used in following projects can only be run on a local server. I've changed the scripts to text files for viewing and have provided web pages to view the output from the Perl scripts. Project 3A: Add an order form and write a Perl script (Project 3A.pl) to save the ordering information in a text file (Project 3A.txt).
Project 3B: Create a customer service page to process the orders by using a Perl script (Project 3B.pl) to retrieve the information from the text file and display the outstanding orders and by using a Perl script (Project 3C.pl) to deliver the next outstanding order.

Project 4A: Add JavaScript functions to verify each form data element entered by the user. Project 4B: Displays the customer service page and Project 4.txt: Displays the data file witten in Project4A and used by Project4B.

Project 5: Add two dynamic elements to the project by using JavaScripts. I added a textbox "advice" script to the order page, and a mouse-over script on the customer service page.

Project 6: Add two Java applets to the project. I added a daily quote to the index page and alternating advertising banners to the order page.

Project 7: Construct an XML document, called Donutorders1.xml using table data provided by the instructor. As Geocities does not allow the file extensions of .dtd and .xsl, I cannot show the results of Donutorders2.xml or Donutorders4.xml. Construct Donutorders3.xml using a CSS file called Donutorders3.css (I modified the file to remove the original referrence to the .dtd file).
Build A Well Designed Website Using Netscape Composer 6

Build A Well Designed Website Using Netscape Composer 4
This site was designed as a "how to" paper for the Intensive Writing course. The inspiration for this paper came from a soccer mom whose son wanted to design a web page for a school project. This site was also built using Netscape Composer 4 and 6. I got an A on this paper.
Franklin Elementary School This site was designed for my Individual Programming Lab course to illustrate to the Franklin teachers what could be done for their site. A sewn image on a piece of material was scanned and then the image was touched up to create the Ben Franklin logo. This site was never completed due to the course time constraints. This site was built using Microsoft FrontPage. I got an A for the course. The recent update was to change filenames and links from htm to html and to remove a hit counter.
Cool Links for Kids This site was designed as a project for my Intro to Marketing Management course. This site was designed using Netscape Composer 4, and was my first web site. I got an A on this project.

More sites coming soon, so check back often.
