The client for my project is Julie Jordan. She owns a cleaning service in St. Joeseph, Minn. I offered to make this site for her because I thought that, as a business owner, it's a good idea to be available on the web for your customers.

My client was wide open to how the site should look, except to be professional.

My project is for Karen Mattson my mother who is a special education teacher in Warroad High School. The website is for the parents of her students who are looking for information on the program and want to be involved in what their kids are doing in school. Not all the content is up yet, because I'm waiting for her to pick out certain articles and give me an actual events calender. :P I also don't have all of the faculty pictures and info yet.

My client for this project is a family owned and operated pool company that I work at and do photography for during the summer. The owner wanted me to redesign his site to make it more inviting. His overall goal was for a website that still portrayed a status of "prestige" but does not intimidate middle income households. He has been told that his current website appeals more to the high income bracket and scares away people who just want a simple pool.

I am still waiting to get the company logo to put in the banner as well as more pictures. I put up a few pictures that i have taken and had on hand using a feature in photoshop. I know that the gallery that I have is not the best way to show the pictures and i am looking into using a flash program. The owner also wanted me to remove the old and outdated photos which portray equipment that is no longer being used and add in new pictures that I took this summer.

I am designing a website for a local record label company called Je Records.

The company was started by two UMD students and a UWS student. They produce and record music from their own band as well as other local artists in Duluth and the surrounding areas. They formed this company about 6 months ago and so far have 5 artists that are signed onto them both here in Duluth and some artists in Nigera (where the producer, Charles Obije is from). They also perform and organize events in Duluth - the most recent being a show at the Score Bar and also the Greysolon Plaza Ballroom. The music they produce is predominantly hip hop and some R&B songs. However, they also provide beats and their recording studio for rent by other artists.

Currently they communicate their shows and information through posters and facebook. They would like to have a stand alone website that carries information about the artists and producers, the DJ's, their events and facilities and equipment they have available for rent.

The website should also incorporate some form of a picture gallery and if possible some music that plays on the website as samples of their tracks.

I am in the process of getting the music and pictures etc to put up and also negotiating what the layout of the site will be - The initial draft will be up as soon as they approve it - should be by Thursday. Hence the delay in me publishing it on this site.

I created the MIS Club Website which should be hosted by the school itself within the next week or so. The main focus was to create a layout for the site that provided use for prospective students looking for more information on the club, to show upcoming events (eventually), and provide contact or other ways membes or prospective members can see what is going on during the school year. We didn't have a website previously before or I should say we didn't have a functional one (https://lsbe.d.umn.edu/studentorgs/misclub/index.htm ).

Some other things to think about, I created a layout for a picture gallery, however I highly doubt it will be implemented into the website. The MIS President knows an interesting way to display pictures and said that would be fine if I were to put the picture layout div frames for this class purpose.

We talked a little bit about using the new school site layout design that is being put in place. Our class discussed the new design of the homepage and I found a little information that you might be interested. The U of M has pushed for making all the school sites similar in layout design. However each school has countless web pages and UMD is clearly in the process of updating to the U of M request.
