| D'Phone |
D'Phone is a new company in Northern California, who was
in a rush to get a domain and site online as soon as possible.
This site was created and published almost entirely over
a weekend. The original layout contained many professional
features which the owner felt was not in his best interest.
His concept for the perfect site was to focus on the two
all-important questions presented on the main page.
The owner of this company moved on with his life and persuits.

| Sounds
Of Surreal |
A rock group out of
Sacramento, California, Surreal wanted a lot of punch
on their site. A number of custom
CGI scripts, Java scripts and animated graphics
where designed for Surreal. They felt strongly about keeping
the visitor entertained so user interface and captivating
graphics and entertainment were integrated into the site.
The band broke up before the site
ever became hosted and published. |

Blocks & Staples |
This company, housed
in a rural area of the Northern California Redwood Empire,
desired a woodsy look and down-home feel, yet easy navigation
on their site. Being a kind of e-store, a catalog
of their products was developed to display thumbnails
of the raw item with a black background and, once clicked
on, opens a new window with the item pictured much larger
and with the "item in use" appearance as well as dimensions
statistics. Custom graphics were
created for this client and Online ordering
was also implemented using simple cgi
scripts. The owner of this company moved on to other ventures..

| PJ's Online
Shopping |
This E-store was designed
to client specs and is quite striking. It features multiple
catagories and sub-catagories
of products and a full e-commerce
solution with shopping cart
management. The owner runs a drawing for vacation
packages and has been incorporated on the site
as well as the extensive "new vendor"
interface. The site is very clean and the client
was very happy. However, the owner
decided not to persue this venture further and closed
the site.

Coffee of the Month |
Coffee of the Month Club was a resource for Coffee Lovers of all kinds. The owner's intent was to provide a wide range of information and tips as well as supplying access to a special selection of coffees via the online store. A Coffee Of The Month feature would introduce a new coffee to club members monthly, offering free samples via mail. The owner of this company decided not to persue this venture just days before the development of the site was completed. Since this took place shortly after the tech stock crash of 1999, I was not surprised. |
|
| Computer
Confidence |
This company started
on a small budget in Southern California, hiring technicians
to go to people's homes to repair computers or provide
tutoring and other services. The site was designed with
a very professional look and many extras such as Flash
banners, Interactive pop-up
Javascript Help Windows, Online
tutorials, and more.This was all provided to Computer
Confidence at a reduced rate to help them get online and,
hopefully, help with their success. However, they chose
to handle promotion internally. If
the site does not come up, they may not have succeeded. |

SHCHD |
Southern Humboldt
Community Healthcare District, in Northern California,
decided they wanted their place on the world wide web
after upgrading their computer and information systems.
A lot of medical information
was provided to the online community as well as contact
information and tools. They requested development
of a similar site for their Intranet which was directed
to inhouse employees which inlcluded many
tools, research resources and their newsletter
online. They also requested a "walk-thru"
of the main facility and i-Team Solutions created a Streaming
Media Presentation for them. In
1999 they filed for chapter 7 and brought in new administration.
It is expected their online presence will not continue
due to cost cutting efforts by these individuals.

| Tickets Buy/Sell |
A small partnership
in Southern California attempted to start an online enterprise
in the form of an auction house for tickets of all kinds.
The job of building a quality site for this purpose began,
which includes an extensive Affiliates
Program with Visitor Tracking,
Featured Items program, Online
Promotions and a high quality
layout. However, it was near
the end of production that the 'ceo' decided they would
not persue it afterall. |

Newport Plumbing |

GoSpeedCleaners |
This company began as an idea between brothers which had a reasonable chance of success. However, as it sometimes happens, family disputes became a barrier and the company dissolved before it got off the ground. The web site was in the final stages of development when I was informed of their decision to persue other avenues. The customer closed the business before the project was completed. |
