Willamette Valley Vineyards works exclusively with award-winning caterer, Willaby’s Catering, for their on-site events. In an effort to further promote the weddings and events aspect of Willamette Valley Vineyards on their website, I was asked to design a page/mini-site that would appeal more to brides who may consider the vineyard and Willaby’s Catering for their wedding. The catch was that I had to do this within the basic existing framework of WVV.com – the general feel of the existing site is clean and modern, but the hard lines and gray color may not produce the emotional “tug” one would hope for. The solution is a mini-site that adheres only slightly to the basic framework of the WVV website and busts out with flourishes and some of the beautiful professional photography taken at the winery. The resulting page can be seen in the image above or at the actual page location here, and below is a BEFORE shot of the same page (if you’re interested)…

WillametteValleyVineyards.com Weddings and Events Mini-Site
January 20th, 2010CorkReHarvest.org Website Launches
December 11th, 2009
CorkReHarvest.org is a program I’ve been involved with since its inception (see more), so getting to design and finally launch this website for Patrick Spencer, the director of CorkReHarvest.org, and the program’s partners was a treat. Patrick wanted a site that accomplished getting the program’s message and information across to viewers, but almost as much as that, Patrick wanted a website that “competed with the big boys” of environmentalism. We studied a good number of websites – from World Wildlife Federation to Rainforest Alliance – before we came up with the design you see above. It features professional photography from the cork forests of Portugal, a map finder allowing visitors to locate a Drop Box near them, a blog that automatically updates the front page with the latest news, and easy tools to help people get involved. To see the site, please visit CorkReHarvest.org
OregonRaceway.com Web Site Launches
February 15th, 2009
Pacific Motorsports Management, Inc. contacted me about producing a web site that would show off their brand new 2.3 mile road course in Grass Valley, Oregon. They wanted visitors to the site to be able to get the latest updates and news, become involved in the ORP community forums, and find all the track basics. But most importantly, they wanted to convey to the end-user what this track has to offer! Read more…
Cork ReHarvest Program Launch
January 23rd, 2009
Willamette Valley Vineyards likely has millions of natural cork stoppers going in and out of its doors yearly. And they recognize the need to protect this natural, renewable and recyclable resource – not to mention cork stoppers arguably make for better tasting wine than do aluminum wine caps. So Willamette Valley Vineyards (in partnership with Whole Foods Markets and the RainForest Alliance) wanted to start up a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the cork recycling movement, and they asked me to help come up with a name and identity for their new program. After some research, head scratching, doodling, and staring blankly at my monitor, I came up with “Cork ReHarvest”. Cork is harvested in the first place (without any harm to the cork trees themselves), Read more…
Completion of AstleyGroup.com Web Site
January 21st, 2009
Greg Astley of Astley Consulting Group wanted a site that was clean, professional, and that highlighted the Northwest photography of one of his strategic partners, Lynn Howlett Photography. The AstleyGroup.com website directly connects to their existing blog site, allowing new posts to automatically be reflected on all site pages, allowing Astley Consulting Group to easily keep fresh content on the site. Lynn’s photography is a beautiful and prominent addition featured in a random slideshow giving the site a boost of visual impact. Read more…
