The Ball State University Fencing Club is a student-run organization dedicated to the teaching and learning of the Olympic sport of fencing. It is known throughout campus as one of the best sports clubs to meet new and interesting people.

 

Being a member of the Ball State Fencing Club since the fall of 2001, I took it upon myself to take control of designing and maintaining the club's web site. The newest version, featured here, is the third rendition of the site that I have developed and in my opinion is the best design I have come up with; judging look, feel, functionality, and content. The page features a fencing glossary, list of currently active members, links to various other fencing web sites, a history of fencing section, and links to fencing equipment web sites The graphics were made using Adobe Photoshop CS3 and the template was made using Adobe Dreamweaver CS3. The page is coded in ASP.

County Accounts Payable Solutions (CAPS) software was developed for the city of New Castle, Indiana and I was hired by the company distributing the software to develop a new logo and new look for their web site. Unfortunately, due to an unforseen server attack the new deisgn was lost and the company misplaced the backup CD I supplied them. The previous version of the web site is currently available for viewing.

I used Photoshop CS3 to create the new logo that is seen at the top of the page, and Adobe Dreamweaver 8 to create the template and CSS pages that handle the links and general layout of the site. The site is coded using PHP and CSS.

I was approached by a local company to redevelop a web site that is used to sell web utilities such as hosting, filtering, and co-location. The original site was created by a different developer using Adobe Photoshop CS2. However, the company went under before the new site design could be launched. A preview of this site will be availble shortly.

I created the new site using Adobe Photoshop CS3, Dreamweaver 8, and Flash 8. Though the page is not yet completed, it is still functional in many aspects. The Flash animation on the main page features a progress bar and was tested to load in under 1 minute using a dial-up modem before being integrated into the site. The entire page is coded in PHP and features an interchangeable features section at the base of the main page.
