White Drake :: Web Design and Development :: Indiana

The 2008 Addy Awards were a success! SpinWeb received a Silver award for the Blue Bottle Coffee Shop website I designed. We also received a Gold award and Best of Show for The Midwest Academy of Healing Arts website. This means my website design beat out all of the other flash websites that were entered.

We have also launched a few other websites that I have designed since my last update:

• Henry County Community Foundations - The Community Foundations for Henry County
• ERA Integrity - A real estate website out of New Castle, Indiana
• Wood Truss Systems - Redesigned this industry supplier’s website who specializes in equipment for wood truss’ among other things
• WGE Federal Credit Union - Redesigned this Federal Credit Union’s website which has several branches in Muncie, Indiana

Well, I have been extremely busy lately. I have had no time to update my portfolio. I am getting a lot more work from both SpinWeb and Griffin. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing… Anyway, to give you a quick update.. Here is what I have been working on:

http://www.cookandbelle.com (Full Design and can be updated by Bret & Michelle themselves. Launched July 27, 2007)
http://www.thinkepic.org (DID NOT DO THE DESIGN, but I did do all of the flash for it)
http://www.nadco-inc.com (Did the flash elements for it)

Coming soon:

- Bellevue Children’s Academy website
- Spangler, Jennings & Dougherty, P.C. website

Sorry I don’t have any pretty screenshots and better updates, but I am just to dang busy. When things cool down a bit, I will revise the site.

My blog & portfolio have finally switched domains. It is no longer wordpress.whitedrake.com. It is just whitedrake.com. It is still undergoing a lot of changes so please bare with me if there is some content lacking or graphical boo-boos because I have been too busy with other websites to work on this one very much.

A big “thanks!” goes out to Matt (wordpress master) for helping me get wordpress installed.

The Midwest Academy of Healing Arts flash website that I designed has been launched. This is the first full flash website I have done for SpinWeb and hopefully I will be able to do a lot more in the future. There were about 7 different design mock-ups before this final version and I will try to get them up here shortly.

The Advertising Federation of East Central Indiana website that I designed won a Silver ADDY Award at the 2007 Award Ceremony. This was the first real custom website that I have designed for SpinWeb and I look forward to winning more awards at the 2008 ceremony.

Sample International is a SpinWeb Demo website that I customized to demo our Freedom Product (I also designed the logo). Freedom is a revolutionary new Content Management System (CMS) that lets the client update basically anything on their website after our design is implemented to it. The client can add or update any page on their site, products, news, photos, blog entries, job openings, newsletters, and more from an easy to use admin area. I would have to say it is most likely the best and most powerful CMS on the market.

I finally got my final animation from my Maya class uploaded.

The new apple iPhone is going to be REVOLUTIONARY. It has a built in iPod (music, video, photos), wireless internet, satilite navigation, touch screen, tons of other features, and oh yeah… you can use it to call people too. Plus, it runs on OSX so it’s gotta be cool. I really am going to have to switch to Cingular when it comes out in June just so I can have one.

The Advertising Federation of East Central Indiana Website is finally live! It has gone through many changes. The header animation looks totally different from when I first designed it and the CSS drop down menu has been eliminated, but I think it still looks pretty good. Check out the final version at:

In other SpinWeb news, the MAX Rocks website went live yesterday as well. I didn’t design the website, but I worked on little things here and there. For example, I created a lot of the banner ads and the contest/request line animation. Check it out:

Since I haven’t posted in a while, I will give you a sneak peak at what Joe’s new Sports Card Checklist site will look like. It is taking me a while because I am doing it as a side project, but hopefully it will be up soon. Like most sites, it will probably look different from what you see here when it is finalized:
