Web site for children’s author Bonnie Wayne to highlight her series of educational books. This site features an online store for ordering her books via PayPal, a photo gallery, and a Flash roll-over sound effect in the header of the site. The site was built with Wordpress so it is easy for the client to add blog posts, edit any text of the site, manage the store orders, and add photos to the gallery. Visit this site >>

We originally did a site for author and presenter Melissa Forney in 2002. We recently did a redesign and major expansion of the site using the Drupal content management system. Melissa’s online store had more than tripled in inventory and she needed a robust web site to manage her hundreds of products and customers. The site also features a Blog for Melissa, easy access for her staff to edit the site news and other content via any web browser, and Flash roll-over navigation buttons. Visitors to the site can search for products, register for conferences, download educational handouts, and hear music samples of CDs for sale. Visit this site >>

The design is created from the illustrations in the books and includes custom Flash games which expand on the books' performing arts themes.]]> Jake Flash game

Karen LeFrak, author of Jake the Philharmonic Dog and Jake the Ballet Dog, wanted a web site to feature each book and its illustrations by Marcin Baranski and be fun for kids and adults. We created five custom Flash games based on the story of each book to expand on the books’ educational theme of teaching children about the orchestra and the ballet.

Each page of the web site has a different custom theme based on the varied and colorful illustrations in the books, but with a consistent navigation system to tie the content together. Visit this site >>
