Web and UI Design for Honest Project

Busy Boy

Around June or so, my friend Scott Priddy had asked me to design the website for his new company, Honest Project. That turned into designing the software he and his partner had been working on.

In September, Scott hired me full-time and I’ve been doodling in Photoshop and coding HTML/CSS around the clock ever since.

What is Honest Project?

We make the home construction process less risky, and more efficient for all participants; lenders, home owners, builders, even sub-contractors and vendors. They will all have access to the software, bringing much needed transparency and clarity to the construction industry. I could go into more detail, but would rather show you pretty pictures.

Honest Project Home Page

The home page was designed wanting to sell the fact that Honest Project’s objective is to serve the construction community, not just one particular part of it. We want all participants to find value in the solution.

Honest Project Community site aims to educate participants.

To further our commitment to community, I designed and developed the Honest Project Community site (built with WordPress). All of our training documents, release notes, as well as industry-related articles will be posted here. Eventually, the Community site will expand to include project portfolios, displaying information on Honest Project participants and projects they worked on.

The Application's Draw Page

Finally, when users login to the actual software, they’ll find a clean and open layout that allows for a large amount of content without feeling cluttered.

We’re looking for lenders and builders, so if you know of anyone involved with home construction, please send them my way and I would be happy to demonstrate the software for them.

Wish me luck on the new job!

Amplifiedheat.com Redesign Using WordPress

The original website I designed for Amplified Heat was received well, but the band didn’t have the time needed to maintain the website and edit their own HTML.

In addition to allowing the band to have a content management system through WordPress, a hub has been created that brings the band’s fans together from different websites like Flickr and MySpace. Access was allowed not only to the band, but also to their publicists, allowing for up to the minute press releases.

The true benefit of the re-design will be determined by time and the client that now controls the content, but I feel that WordPress will be a great tool to bring them closer to their fans.

If you have a family, business or band that you think could benefit from a stronger web-presence, contact me and I would be happy to discuss your options with you.

Stubby Studios Makeover

I finally had time to do a complete overhaul for my portfolio/blog here at Stubby Studios. I’ve been working very late nights on various projects and tutorials.

Leave a word on what you think of the new look. Thanks.
