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.

Fair Trade Manitoba
A project of the Manitoba Council on International Cooperation, Fair Trade Manitoba promotes fair trade through various projects, including their guide to buying fair trade products in Manitoba, now taken online for the first time. The guide is fully searchable by product, city, or keyword, and includes dynamic mapping of each listing. Visitors can also submit corrections and updates to listings. MCIC staff now use the website as the primary database for the guide, which they can easily update using the site’s CMS, and then export for their semi-annual printed version of the guide.

Into the Music
Into the Music is the premiere spot for finding quality new, used and collectible CDs and LPs in Winnipeg, and is a veritable institution there — indeed the longest-running independent record store in the city. Amphibian designed and built their debut online presence, with a plethora of new and used titles for sale using a custom shopping cart that maintains that personalized, “mom and pop” touch.

Smallman Records
Smallman is an independent record label in my hometown of Winnipeg, MB, and is run by some nice folk. Recipe: brand-new design (using graphics courtesy of Dead By Design); synergising (yes, synsergising) of audio, video and ringtones throughout; more comprehensive band pages; RSS feeds for tour dates and news updates; tour dates in both iCal and hCalendar formats; a new, modern CMS for the label staff to giggle about; and more.

Next American City
Complete design and technology overhaul for this Philadelphia-based magazine. With a new identity and magazine redesign by art director Keith Webb, I brought the magazine’s new look to the web (no pun intended.) The new site encourages reader interaction through content submissions and discussion, and gives focus to their popular Daily Report; all using the extensible and powerful ExpressionEngine CMS.

Amphibian has been incredible to work with — always quick to follow up on questions and communicating clearly, usually presenting several possible solutions. Derek helps us understand what he’s doing so that we can address similar problems ourselves in the future, saving us money. Derek has also been an incredible designer, bringing both creativity and technical know-how to the table to produce strong visual and structural design on a budget.
