Portfolio: Health Education Solutions redesign

"Health Education Solutions is the leading provider of online certification and recertification for advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) and pediatric advanced life support (PALS)."

My role was: UI/UX design and recommendations, wireframing and front-end development. One of the objectives was to simplify Course Catalog UI. I ended up using one page approach where the user can sort courses by the Topic, CE Credits or Provider, add desired course to the cart, review cart and submit order for processing without ever leaving the Course Catalog page. It's pretty slick!

 

The website made first sale the night after it was published. Based on the feedback, the costumer was very satisfied with the process.... Mission accomplished!

Portfolio: CUNet Website

The new CUnet website is up and running. I worked on the website's planning, wireframing, UI design and finally HTML, CSS and JavaScript coding. For best SEO results we decided to avoid use of Flash and ended up using some jQuery/jQuery plugins to add interactivity to the home page.

Portfolio: BOLD Nebraska Website

BOLD Nebraska is a "...start-up looking to change the political landscape and to restore political balance in our state...".  It features political news, local events and calls to action.

Once again, I collaborated with Justin Kemerling—who did the graphic design—and asked me to do all the front-end and back-end development.

Portfolio: Lincoln Arts Council Website

The new Lincoln Arts Council website is a project I worked on in collaboration with some really talented, highly creative people from Lincoln. The team included Ashley Rolf, David Christiansen, Adam Lohman, Graham Little and Lincoln Arts Council Executive Director, Deb Weber.

I was brought on to the team to help direct the user experience and turn Ashley Rolf's design into a functional website. The website is quite complex in terms of features and wealth of content it's serving. Some of those features include Events Calendar, Art & Art Organization Profiles, Sponsor Widget, Search etc... And all of it managed through a custom built Content Management System.

Portfolio: Haydon Art Center Website Redesign

The goal of the Haydon Art Center website redesign was to provide the center with the ability to update and modify site contents on a regular basis, make it easy to navigate for users, represent the organization in a professional, classy manner, allow for future upgrades in terms of content and images, and provide a vehicle for center's artist members to showcase some of their graphic works and link to their individual web sites.

The site was a perfect candidate for Asari's custom built CMS.

I worked on the websites design, HTML/CSS, Javascript and PHP/MySQL.

Here is a Wayback Machine look at the old site.

Portfolio: Nelnet Education Loan Servicing micro site

Nelnet Education Loan Servicing micro site is another fun web project I worked on through my job at Nelnet. The site has pretty minimal content, so I placed it all on one page and used jQuery and jQuery Cycle plug-in to navigate it.

The cycle plug-in is pretty flexible. I was able to use it navigate the content using it's "pagination" and "before/next" navigation options. The plug-in is also unobtrusive, so the content is readily available even with JavaScript disabled.

And here is the screen shot:

Portfolio: Seniors Foundation Website

Seniors Foundation is a local non-profit organization providing financial support for Lincoln's senior centers. As such their new website needed to be simple, easy to navigate and edit.

Senior Foundation staff was already using Dreamweaver to maintain the old site, so I used as many Dreamweaver features as I could to make it as easy as possible for them to continue to do so. 

One of the requirements was integration of credit card processing, so beside HTML/CSS I worked on some PHP, cURL and SSL. I used Adobe's Spry javascript framework to handle some basic error checking.
