The site is based off the open-source software WordPress MU, a content management system (CMS) capable of supporting such a large site that will accomodate future expansion of integrated mini-sites and blogs. Many custom plugins were necessary to achieve exactly what I and the client needed, developed primarily in PHP integrating with MySQL.

This project consumed much of my time over more than a six month period and to date is the most expansive site that I have developed nearly single-handed. A myriad of difficulties arose throughout the project which required a lot of troubleshooting and problem-solving.

This web site attempts to capture some of that grace and beauty while still harnessing the raw power of the ocean. Featuring a large photo of Jack on a Tahitian bomb and an artistic poster I designed, the home page intends to awe and inspire visitors.

Jack needed a simple and effective device to allow potential customers to choose their custom boards, so I developed a form that automatically updates the colors of the bodyboard’s deck, rails, and bottom in real-time. This tool helps visualize color choices so the customer knows what their choice will look like before ordering.

Also implemented was a photo gallery that showcases some of Jack’s accomplishments in the water.

I also designed several magazine advertisements that were featured in various bodyboarding magazines to help promote his new business.

Dozens of photographs needed to be cropped and manipulated to normalize lighting and color palettes to match the style of the site and printed material while maintaining the integrity of the bikinis being sold. Elie did not wish to have an average web site and instead we developed the site under the philosophy that a picture speaks a thousand words, thus enticing a more emotional response from potential customers.

The site also needed to provide wholesalers with a quick way to download important information available through PDFs.

Grace required a simple and easy to navigate site that enabled her customers to quickly see her beautiful products intended to be used during their weddings and receptions while visiting Maui. A hand-coded storefront was necessary to stay within her minimal budget that was integrated into PayPal’s popular payment gateway.

Every product featured on the site needed extensive photo manipulation by extracting the product from the background and normalization of lighting and coloring to match the layout and style of the site while maintaining original color integrity.

A subtle effect using Adobe Flash sets the mood for this site by displaying a majestic whale sunning itself just below the surface of the water with rays of light shimmering off of its back. Short samples of each track from the CD can be listened to using a simple MP3 player that I created using Flash, and several other MP3s may be downloaded directly from the site that showcase Don’s previous recordings that are also available for sale.

The simple but large site was implemented using straight HTML and CSS, making it quite simple to update on a monthly basis and also allowed for future expansion without too much forethought.

The original web site needed to be overhauled and re-structured for easier navigation, and a directory of shops and restaurants was developed to allow patrons to quickly locate every business housed within the center.
