We do web design & development right.
Of course by “we” I mean “I.” And by “right” I mean “properly.”
Anyhoo – check out my work or read some adulation from my clients.

Arbeiter Ring Publishing
ARP is a small press run out of Winnipeg, MB that publishes “cultural, fiction, and non-fiction titles with an emphasis on progressive political analysis of contemporary issues.” The new site shines the spotlight where it should be: on the books. A prominent, rotating slot on the home page allows ARP to promote featured titles or important events, and with their stable of titles fully tagged and searchable (cross-referenced with related books, news, reviews, and media), readers can more easily delve deeper into the site. All backed by ExpressionEngine so the collective can manage the site effortlessly.

Private Ear Recording
Private Ear has been one of Winnipeg’s premiere recording studios for 15 years, but has never had an online home. After the studio moved into a new, custom-designed 3000 sq. ft. space, they asked Amphibian to fill that online void. Offering all the need-to-knows, the site also hosts a diverse catalogue of recording samples from the studio’s repertoire, a photo gallery of bands in the studio, and more. The randomly-loading pool of images taken during various live sessions keep each page visually unique, and the striking home page gives a pro first impression — all managed easily by the engineers/owners using ExpressionEngine.

Manitoba Council for International Cooperation
As an organization that disburses some one million dollars a year to overseas projects aimed at improving the lives of people in developing countries, the MCIC needed a website that quickly and clearly communicated their mission to visitors. Amphibian developed a design with a bold and clear navigation, a rotating pool of striking images in the site header, and an inviting colour palette matching MCIC’s existing identity — all backed by the powerful ExpressionEngine CMS.

Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy
Based in NYC, the Furman Center is “a leading academic research center devoted to the public policy aspects of real estate, land use and housing development.” They needed to replace their dated, poorly organized website with something fresh, clean, organized, and easy-to-use (for both end-users and administrators). As the staff reorganized their content, I built the new site from the ground-up using the ExpressionEngine CMS, and developed a new design using a refined black and white palette, contrasted by bright, punchy greens, and a great collection of photos taken by the Center’s staff.

It was a real pleasure working with Amphibian. Our committee was impressed with how quickly the work was done and thrilled with the quality of the website, and we received excellent feedback from our volunteers and supporters as well. Any changes we requested were addressed promptly and professionally. We look forward to continued work with Amphibian in the future.
