The Breakthrough Foundation
The site works in conjunction with media advertising, where people viewing small advertisements visit the web site to satisfy their curiosity about what we do. The site is designed for two simple purposes: 1) To screen potential clients in terms of their likelihood to undertake a breakthrough for personal positive change 2) To collect client data (via registrations) that enable us to further qualify client suitablility for our service. At the present time, the users completing the registration process are predominantly male - I would like to know if there is any way in which I could help it to appeal more to females.

Asperger Planet - Maureen and Jack's presentations
This site is designed to promote the presentations done by maureen and jack about Asperger Syndrome, a high functioning form of Autism. They are on the virge of a major leap in their career, and would like the website to reflect that. While i've been making somwehat shabby websites for quite some time, I feel like I have run out of ideas/my skills have turned to mush. Please check out this site, and let me know what I can do to make it "better". Even a comment such as "I hate yellow" will be helpful; any and all comments will be taken seriously, so don't be shy. I don't take anything personally.

Stephen P. Halbrook, Attorney at Law
This is the website for Stephen P. Halbrook, a practicing attorney and scholar. The main purpose of the site is to provide information on his books, articles, and notable legal cases. Most visitors come to the site looking for specific information on a certain topic, and we have tried to design the site to facilitate locating these specific materials as well as other materials on similar topics. We are mostly looking for advice on how to improve the site's 1. Layout (in order to make it look more professional) and 2. Navigation, in order to make it easier to locate information.

Previously

Commercial and Residential Interior Design Web Site
This is a test site (final stages) with additional content in development. The site is mostly template-driven with areas for the client to add content. I am mostly concerned about color and overall visual impression. The pictures are of the client's historic home, which serves as an office. The site is designed around the home itself, with additional pictures/graphics taken from the property. I have additional pictures of the home to integrate into the site.

Reviewing Web Sites

One designer recently said

"You learn good design by looking at bad design."
... another states
"You learn good design through the works of others."

Both of these are correct -- but only to a certain point. We believe that you learn good design through the works of others only when you make an effort to actually evaluate the work and state why you think it works or doesn't work. Only then do you actually make it part of your knowledge-base. We're all born with the same set of tools. Those tools you develop and 'grow' are the ones that you use for life -- the effective ones.

If you find a site you like, make an effort to state why you like it. If it doesn't work, state why -- regardless of whether or not you tell the rest of us about your feelings. Just do it!
