Websites I Have Designed:

Older Sites (I am no longer responsible for the maintenance of these sites but last I checked that had not been updated with newer content than what I had worked on)

  • Fergus County Disaster and Emergency Services (I did this one years ago for the Fergus County Disater and Emergency services and they haven’t paid me to udpate it so I am not responsible for any broken links. I also helped them get this logo designed)
  • Tangerine! (this was the first site I ever did, back in 1997 – All hand-coded and original artwork. I’ve been working on websites for a while…)
