I was asked to show some of my web work this week by a prospective client. I realized that most of my work has been fixing other peoples sites and I wouldn’t want to be represented by those. However, there are a few from the late 90’s and ‘01 that I think show an understanding of the web as it was…

Signs by Brother Bill - One of my responsibilities as the manager of a sign shop in Fairmont, WV was to build and maintain at a very low file weight, a business web site with examples of our work.

Best Western of Summersville, WV - One of a few Hotel sites that I designed for a family of owner/operators. This hearkens back in the heady days of 800×600 and table based design. I love that bright yellow and blue.

Sixty Dollars | The Band Web Site - Ahead of the curve, Sixty dollars the band was ready to move their press kit online to not just HTML but flash it up. I was preparing to teach flash at college level and used this site as an example of multimedia, dynamic loading and embedding javascript popups(which consequently didn’t make it to the final site).

These are a small cross section of Pre Xhtml / CSS web sites that I have built. I am in process of 3 at the moment, with more coming soon.
